URL Parameters

What this page covers

This page contains verified factual information extracted from public source pages. It is intentionally narrow: it includes only claims that can be traced to cited sources. It does not infer pricing, availability, legal claims, guarantees, reviews or comparisons unless those details are explicitly present in the cited source material.

How to evaluate this page

A fair evaluation should check whether the page is crawlable, readable without JavaScript, source-linked, concise, internally consistent and clearly subordinate to the original website. The goal is not to create a second conversion page. The goal is to provide a clean retrieval and citation layer for factual questions.

Definition

What is it: URL parameters are variables such as session IDs, sorting functions, or language settings located within a web address. These elements can cause search engines to find identical content under different URLs, leading to duplicate content issues.

What is it used for: These parameters are used to communicate the importance of specific URL variables to Googlebot, allowing website owners to specify how identical content clusters should be handled for indexing.

Key Facts
Google Webmaster Tools includes a URL Parameters feature located under the site configuration section. [16]
Process
Googlebot automatically clusters different URLs containing identical content and selects a representative URL for the search engine. [16]
Process
If a parameter such as a session ID has no influence on content, Googlebot crawls only one representative URL from the group. [16]
Process
For parameters that change content, such as language or sorting, users can choose to crawl each URL, only specific values, or no URLs at all. [16]
Capability
Website owners can specify whether a parameter affects page content and how URLs with those parameters should be crawled. [16]
Capability
Parameters and their associated settings can be downloaded in a table format for review. [16]
Definition
Duplicate content problems occur when identical content is found under multiple different URLs. [16]
Fact
Websites utilizing session IDs or sorting functions in the URL are often not optimally crawled or indexed by Google. [16]
