I've never used vBay or Yet Another Awards system, so this might not be useful, but it might help:
Access masks are used to regulate who can access what in vBulletin forums (you can configure access masks in your AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Forum Permissions). So you can have guests not allowed to view certain pages, while "Registered Members" can, after you configure it here.
I don't know if vBay / YAWS is part of the actual forum pages or if they're totally separate non-forum-page entities that these settings don't have access to, so i'm not sure if these settings would apply to making things visible only to registered members / whatever Usergroup you want, and not in Google searches.
If those settings don't help, try finding code that will make your pages check with vbulletin's usergroup permissions before loading. I don't know where you'll find this, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable can let you know if the above doesn't work out.
Sorry if this isn't helpful - Good luck!
