This is what you do to prevent sid's for search engine boots.

 

1. make sure that your cookie path in includes/configure.php is set correctly.

 

If it is set correctly , when you visite your site you will only see sids in your shops url on the 1-2 first clicks, then they diseapear.

 

2. In your shops admin under , configuration >> sessions set:

 

Prevent Spider Sessions to "true"

 

This prevents spiders/search engine bots from getting sids in the url when they visit your site.

 

3. download and use: Updated spiders.txt

 

Now you are set.....

 

(Att. using this metode the sid will show for visitors on the first 1 to 3 click and then diseapear and for robots/spiders they will not show at all)

 

 

Alternative metode. (NOTE: If you are one shared hosting you can not use this metode, then use the steps as listed above)

 

1. In your shops admin under , configuration >> sessions set:

 

Force Cookies to "true"

 

Now the sids will not show eighter for visitors or robost/spiders.

 

 

 

 

 

If you have gotten urls with sids already indexed by the search engines...this contribution: Spider Session Remover will help you fix those too.
