Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page.
It clearly shows that undesired session IDs may have adverse effect at least for two reasons :
1)Duplicating content!
and 2) crawlers may enter into an infinte loop and access the same page repeatedly as it may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page.
However, I could not find any suitable method either for allowing the bots to crawl my site without session IDs or to remove the undesired session IDs from the url.
I searched for a solution and got this one:
CODE
ini_set( 'session.use_cookies', ( int )1 );
ini_set( 'session.use_trans_sid', ( int )1 );
session_start();
But it did not work for me.
Now is there any other way to remove undesired session IDs from the URL? or am I making some mistake in handling sessions.
Thanks in anticipation of some good advice.
