Do long UTM codes hurt SEO?

[Cassie_Ransom]

Since most UTM codes/URLs are longer than 70ish characters, is this hurting my SEO? If it is, how can I solve the problem while still using a UTM code? Thanks!

The correct way to use UTM tracking without hurting your SEO efforts is to make sure you’ve implemented your canonical tags correctly. You should add self-referring canonical tags, which will prevent multiple versions of the same page from being indexed.

For example:

• http://www.yoursite.com/some-page?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

should have a canonical tag that looks like this:

If you have pages with these parameters on your site then you should use the rel=”canonical” tag to specify the canonical URL that you’d like Google to rank.
