SEO and AddThis implementation question

[danatanseo]

We recently implemented AddThis social sharing on our Website. I am seeing an undesirable side-effect. In Firefox and Chrome browsers, some kind of tracking snippet appears to be appending to our URLs. This is not happening in IE (or if it is it isn't visible). I am concerned about how these URLs look in the address bar to our visitors and I'm also worried about potential duplicate content issues arising when a spider crawls the site.

It appears to only be an issue with our product detail pages. The category pages all seem fine. [I am sure this is because social sharing button are only installed on the product pages].

Here is an example: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/williams-sound-personal-pa-377#.UFnvkVG-7Aw

This URL should be: http://www.ccisolutions.com/StoreFront/product/williams-sound-personal-pa-377

Is there a workaround for this problem?

Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a solution?

Thanks!

You can disable the click tracking with this code:

var addthis_config = {
   data_track_clickback: false
}

But I don't think the appended tag will do you any harm as is. It's just a tracking code for you to be able to track results in the AddThis dashboard.
