Advance SEO: Values accepted in google parameters

[MozAddict]

Hello Mozzers,

What values are accepted in parameter field in webmaster? I want to block URL's with + in them. Parameters does not seem to accept + as a valid value

Thanks!

I am actually experiencing how those URL parameters work - what I can tell you from this point is that you have to name those parameters more exactly - if you want to exclude the attribute "pgid", "CategoryName" etc. then that`s it what you have to use.

You cant use "+", "-", "/" etc. because Google ignores that... an example: if somebody is running an ecommerce store with intershop then the system generates attributes like ";pgid" ... Google cant work with ";" so you can`t exclude this attribute using GWMT

As far as I know, Google just can handle the parameter "?"...

So whatever comes after your "+" take the next word, to try to exclude those URL`s anyway...

You have to be patient: this will take some time to see the effect (if it works!)
