I have an ASP.NET 4 site with url’s having session string embedded in them. Due to this Google index the same page multiple times, all with different session id’s. This is affecting my ranking. Earlier i also had the aspautodetectcookie string appended to the url. But i was able to remove it, however the session id embedded in the url remains a problem still.
If my url is http://www.somesite.com/ViewProduct.aspx?ID=12, it shows up like this http://www.somesite.com/S(yya4h4rf4gjh5eo4uazix2t055)X(1))/ViewProduct.aspx?ID=12. I want it to show like http://www.somesite.com/ViewProduct.aspx?ID=12 all the time.
Here are some settings in my web.config that may help you help me
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms cookieless="UseCookies" loginUrl="~/AccessDenied.aspx" name="FORMAUTH" />
</authentication>
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="15" />
<anonymousIdentification cookieless="AutoDetect" enabled="false" />
Now one user asked to change cookieless=”true” to fix the problem. However in the artcle http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/Cookieless-Session-State.aspx the guy says that by adding cookieless = “true” session id ‘will be’ embedded in all page URLs.
Can anyone tell me how remove this session from the url – forever.
I am running on IIS 7 but do not have much access to the admin features.
If you set
cookieless="false"that will solve the problem you are seeing with Google.However this means that any browser, which doesn’t support cookies, will get a new session per request. If you want more help, please tell us how you are using the sessions.
