GWT url parameter issue/question

[IceIcebaby]

Hi Moz community,

I'm having an issue with URL parameters in GWT. The tracking taxonomy for my websites is used as either /?izid=... (internal) OR /?dzid=... (external)

I put tracking parameters in GWT as izid & dzid, but it hasn't picked up any URLs or examples in regards to these parameters. It's been about 2 months since we've started using this so I want to make sure Google isn't indexing as duplicate content.

Side note: any page that uses a tracking parameter automatically adds rel="canonical" to the original page. Could this be the reason that GWT doesn't pick up any URLs for tracking parameters and/or do I not need to worry about adding paramters if I already have the canonical attribute automatically in place.

Thanks for your help,
-Reed

I am not positive, but I think you are confused about GWT and url parameters. GWT lets you specify parameters to ignore, is that where you put them in? Google Analytics on the other hand allows you to put parameters in to monitor click through rate and all of the other things it does.
