Links with Parameters

[harmit36]

The links from the home page to some internal pages on my site have been coded in the following format by my tech guys:

www.abc.com/tools/page.html?hpint_id=xyz

If I specify within my Google Webmaster tools that the parameter ?hpint_id should be ignored and content for the user does not change, Will Google credit me for a link from the home page or am I losing something here.

Many thanks in advance

That is correct. However, I would consider fixing the code some other ways too...

1. Adding a canonical tag to the page.html if possible.

2. Suppressing the hpint_id=xyz if possible.

Other search engines won't be able to respect your wishes to ignore the ?hpint_id if all you have done is update GWT.
