      On hover my links are with additional Parameters while links that are indexed are without additional parameters does it impact in a negative way. For ex: i have a site http://www.yoursite.com and Its internal pages that are linked to the site are in pattern of http://www.yoursite.com/jobs-in-india?xz=3_0_5 and these are the pages which are interlinked through out the site. When any user click the link they will land to the similar pages with additional parameter even on mouse hover any one can see the same link. while we have used Canonical, so pages that are getting indexed are http://www.yoursite.com/jobs-in-india.

      But my concern is: - To showing two different link as when Google crawler follow the site they will get the links with additional parameter while in its index its a URL without additional parameter so is there problem that we can encounter or is there any negative impact on ranking?

        Excellent that you have used Canonical which should be enough of a signal however personally I also use the robots.txt file to disallow the dynamic element of the URL ie ?xz=

          Google is pretty good about deciding what URL to index within CMS based sites. If you have already set your canonical pages, the next step would be setting them in Webmaster tools URL parameters, and blocking them from being indexed in your robots file.
