      I've found a lot of mixed info on this topic so I thought I'd ask the experts (Moz community).

      If I'm adding tracking parameters to URLs to monitor organic traffic will this affect the rank/value of the original clean URL?

      If so, would best practice be to 301 redirect the tracked URL to the original:
      i.e. redirect www.example.com/category/?DZID=Organic_G_NP/SQ&utm_source=Organic&utm_medium=Google TO www.example.com/category

      Thanks for your help!
