CaseyMS Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Hi I have been beating my brains over this. I recently saw that google had indexed some url's with session id's. So I did the research and found a multitude of topics to help with this and tried to fix them based on forums advice. However, I am still seeing that Google is creating a session id when I Fetch as Googlebot through Google Webmaster Tools. My steps: 1) A month or so ago I realized that my Prevent Spider Sessions was False so I set it to True. 2) I realized that it was still indexed because "spiders cache urls and revisit them" so I recently added the Spider Session Remover contribution which 301 redirects a spiders accessing a url with a session to one without. 3) I even set parameters via Google Webmaster Tools for spiders to ignore urls with osCsid. 4)Using Google Webmaster Tools I used their lab to "Fetch as a Googlebot" to see what the spider is seeing and I still see that it is STILL setting a cookie for Googlebot. I checked my spiders.txt and Googlebot is included My sessions configs are: Session Directory /tmp Force Cookie Use False Check SSL Session ID False Check User Agent True (recently changed) Check IP Address True (recently changed) Prevent Spider Sessions True Recreate Session True What is wrong here? Please help. :(
