      Hi,

      We've been testing internal tracking for 4 weeks on a couple of pages using the basic string ?internalcampaign=X, but hese pages have started appearing in the search results.

      We don't currently have the facility to add canonical tags to correct this. Does anyone have any other solutions to this problem other than deleting the internal tracking or adding filters on the server?

      Thanks!

        I think a canonical is your only thing

        I dont understand how you added internal tracking, but cant add a canonical.

        What sort of server are you using? and what technology is your website written in?

          Thanks Alan,

          The internal tracking was added through the cms but unfortunately canonical can't be added in the same way currently, and will require time from the web team - this is why I am investigating a way round this as an interim, but yes agree canonical is the way to go long-term.

          Cheers.
