How do you prevent tracking URL

Answer: This is a very good question and there are actually two ways that you can stop URL’s from making duplicate content. First you can use JavaScript. JavaScript based tracking means that you are not going to modify your URL’s, but you can still where your traffic is coming from. Google has a few different JavaScript based tracking that you can use for this.

Next you can block certain URL’s. In other words you can make sure that URL’s that have your code do not get indexed in places. You just need to set up blocking software that will stop the URL’s you don’t want to get through, and allow the URL that you would like to, such as the root URL. You do not want to block a page with the root because then nothing will get indexed.

What you are really trying to do is stop the duplication of your URL getting into the Page Rank count. You see when Google and other search engines determine your Page Rank they will only count the regular URL and discount any tracking URL that is a duplicate, which means you can actually have a lower rank because of it.
