Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Alan,

The internal tracking was added through the cms but unfortunately canonical can't be added in the same way currently, and will require time from the web team - this is why I am investigating a way round this as an interim, but yes agree canonical is the way to go long-term.

Cheers.

Hi,

We've been testing internal tracking for 4 weeks on a couple of pages using the basic string ?internalcampaign=X, but hese pages have started appearing in the search results.

We don't currently have the facility to add canonical tags to correct this. Does anyone have any other solutions to this problem other than deleting the internal tracking or adding filters on the server?

Thanks!

I have a website that due to the way in which it was put together a few years back always redirects to a /subdomain folder when the top level domain is entered.

When analysing the new SERPS tool i spotted that when the .com domain was assessed it didn't pick up the internal links that were pointing to the /subdomain.

Q) Could the /redirect cause a problem when crawled by Google, and if i'm linking back to the homepage should i be using the domain or the subdomain as the link (even though one redirects to the other......)

Hi,

Currently we have this page on our site - http://www.highstreetvouchers.com/gift-vouchers/gift-vouchers-cards.jsp

It contains both "Gift Vouchers " & "Gift Cards" content which are 2 keywords we are targeting for.  Currently the top nav link anchor is "Gift Vouchers & Gift Cards"

If we were to change the top nav to be "Gift Vouchers" & "Gift Cards" as different tabs, both linking to the same page, what might be the SEO consequences?

thanks
