I have a few advertising CMS articles on the website, I received an email from them this morning asking why the '?=s' is in the URL,
eg.
/content/438-development-natural-gas-vehicles-ivecoa-s-new-strategy.html ? s = 0123ae3002c2f9d01c4eb7f8f0df5918
The customer is querying why are there soo many duplicate URL's
Looking into this, its a session variable created when no cookies are enabled. I suppose when a search engine is crawling the site it happens to create these session variables in the URL? is that correct?
A google search I came to this thread How to remove session ID's from vBulletin URL structure? so a good seo tool can get around it. I know DBSEO is a good tool, perhaps there is a way to remove the '?=s' is it wise to remove it?
Is it Possible to remove, if so is it wise?
If it can't be removed, then I may lose the customer due to bad SEO from duplicate URL's.
Hope you can help.
Many Thanks
Dan.
