Do everything in moderation and mix things up to prevent the search engines from detecting any patterns. For example, if you plan on passing link value through your affiliate program, donâ€™t use obvious parameter names like â€œaffâ€.

		<description>In the case of  duplicate content issues craeted by URL tracking parameters, this sounds like a great approach:

My favourite trick is to use links in the following format:
http://www.site.com/#john
http://www.site.com/product-name.html#steve

But if you read this artile:

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2007/09/google-duplicate-content-caused-by-url.html

it says:

1. When we detect duplicate content, such as through variations caused by URL parameters, we group the duplicate URLs into one cluster.

2. We select what we think is the &quot;best&quot; URL to represent the cluster in search results.

3. We then consolidate properties of the URLs in the cluster, such as link popularity, to the representative URL.

Soooo, does this mean that this approach is redundant for duplicate content issues craeted by URL tracking parameters?</description>
