For use variables inside URL for tracking purpose. That creates a problem when checking Analytics stats as same landing page may appear twice or more times.

I wonder if it’s possible to tell Google Analytics to simply ignore question mark and all after at the end of URL so these two pages are treated the same:

../page.html

../page.html?variable1=33&variable2=44

Right now those two are being reported separately.

I have now seen two Google reps say that the easiest thing to do is to use the # parameter for tracking as Google ignores EVERYTHING after a #.

This is not what I USED to recommend, but it's a darn site simpler than 301's on every tracking url!

Thanks so much for reply.

Now, how that looks in real life? I mean, do you simply put "#" instead of "?" or what?

Sorry about ignorance.
