    I think this is more of a "SEO question" so posting in the seo forum might get results and feedback faster and better.

    Within the context of the question, I wouldn't say this is an seo question, if I'm wrong, I'll accept the thrashing from Istvan.

    The first one:
    /folder
    will not protect the folder.

    The second one:
    /folder/
    will protect the folder.

    Here's just a couple quick examples:

    Disallow indexing of everything
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /
    Disallow indexing of a specific folder
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /folder/
    Disallow indexing of a folder, except for allowing the indexing of one file in that folder
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /folder/
    Allow: /folder/singlepage.html
    Disallow your search page url from being indexed
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /?s=
    and this just scratches the surface of what you can do....
