d00d, WordPress automatically hides /wp-includes/, /wp-admin/, and other areas from robots. This isn’t a problem – you don’t want people there.

The challenge is that the plugin is creating many links to the hidden area automatically.
For every single blog, flare plugin has created a link to the admin area of our website and it misleads search engines.
The link that I have placed is the Google result of all fake links.

@coldad: how did you come by this? I’ve tried site:mywebsite but can’t find anything like yours
am also a flare user myself
Seems coldad is correct.
Looks like the plugin is linking to wp-admin in javascript, which Google does parse, in loading the flare counts.
Found this in the source of his site and mine.
<script type="text/javascript">
var __flare_count_url = "http://replacementwindowsanddoors.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=flare_get_counts&url=http%3A%2F%2Freplacementwindowsanddoors.com%2Fsiding%2F&post_id=6&_wpnonce=8192ff948c";
</script>
I added Noindex: /wp-admin/ to my robots.txt.
That should keep those pages out of the search results.
