Hide variables from Search Engines

prevent indexing of pages with variables for accurate user tracking

[nassoit]

I want to prevent search engines from indexing pages on my site with specific passed variables. I am using variables to track visitors from Google Ads and email newsletters, so having these variables picked up by Search Engines is "messing up" my user statistics.

Right now, the highest ranked page on my site when using the domain name as a keyword includes variables from an email newsletter sent to select customers as a means of tracking ROI. Now the stats are no good.

Help?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, nassoit!

I suppose there are a number of ways you could go about this, but first off, why not add something to your ad/email marketing campaign links instead? That way you know where it came from and how effective it is? You can even get specific if you want.
