| ?referrerid=X Let's say you have 100 different users linking to the same thread using their personal referrerid. Wouldn't this mean you would be possible under penalty for duplicate content? Or did I misunderstand how Google reads variables on urls completely wrong? Are thread-100.html?referrerid=100 and thread-100.html?referrerid=200 counted as the same url with same PR, or two different urls, different PR and duplicate content? If the later, is it possible to 301 redirect the referredid-url, back to the original, but still keeping the cookie? Thanks for any input! |

| I think this a thread worth discussing - does vbseo 301 this? |

| I don't know the answer to that, but it sure makes it harder for users to work out what their UserID is.

| referrerid is removed from URL for SE bots and they are redirected to the "clean" URL instead.

| Here's a little tip to make people aware of their referrer id and even give them a link. In MEMBERINFO find Code: <div class="bigusername"> Code: <div class="bigusername"><if condition="$userinfo[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid]"><div style="float:right; margin-left:10px; width:500px; font-size:14px; color:red; font-weight:900;">To refer people to this site and boost your referals, please copy and paste the following address:<br /><input type="text" style="width:340px" readonly="readonly" value="http://www.XXXYOURDOMAINXXX.XXX?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" /> </div></if> Hope it helps |
