kobe_2104 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi All, I've done a search of the whole forum using "+csid +analytics" and got nothing so thought i would raise it in a new topic. When looking at my top content on Google Analytics, many pages are being duplicated by having the csid in the URL. I've been reading some topics where people are saying the csid is required for browsers that have cookies turned off, or you can get CSID Killer to turn this all off etc.... What is the general consensus these days for the csid? On, off, force cookies etc...?? Or am I barking up the wrong tree and should be putting a filter or something in Analytics so this won't show? Thanks, Quote Matt Clark General Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooks Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 do you see the sid in the google index , if you do thats very bad, (search to see all the issues) . Do you have Prevent Spider Sessions set to true? Even if you have Force Cookie Use off the sid should only appear in a users url on the initial page, unless you have others issues causing loss of sid.

kobe_2104 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Sam, It's not in the search index, that's all good. Header Tags or SEO URL's are taking care of that, or the sitemap is, one of the three. I just want to cleanup the analytics data as I know I've got duplicates in the content stats which drives me nuts as (as an example) product_1.html is showing up as product_1.html?Csid=lhjasfsa9871234, then you get another one on a seperate line saying product_1.html?Csid=kjasdfnaxo789. They're the same page, but coming as separate pages in the stats! Quote Matt Clark General Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the same page, but coming as separate pages in the stats! And I had a quick look, and Prevent Spider sessions is set to true. I personally don't care what the users see, just not overly thrilled with the duplicates in analytics. Quote Matt Clark General Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
