Why does my mobile site have a "?mobiRedirect=1" string at the end of the URL?
-
Hello,
When trying to access my site from a smart-phone, I'm getting a redirected to the mobile version (which is correct), however at the end of the URL there is a redirect string that shows every time. I'm not sure why its its showing or how it automatically gets appended to the end of the URL each time. How can I configure my mobile site to prevent the ?mobiRedirect=1" from showing?
For example, if you search for "Columbus Regional Health" on Google with a smart-phone, the first result should be for www.crh.org. If you click that, you should get redirected to www.crh.org/mobile , however its displaying the URL as http://www.crh.org/mobile/default.aspx?mobiRedirect=1
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you,

This sounds like a problem for your internal IT to solve. It sounds like that URL is in your 301 redirect and it's quite possible it's used for tracking purposes. I would find out what it's used for first.
From an SEO standpoint, I would simply canonical your home page to www.crh.org/mobile and that will avoid any duplicate content issues.
