rel="canonical" with Session_ID

[lickx]

HI all

Working on a new site with the latest and great from MIVA

and I was looking at the rel="canonical" the page generation, and it looks like this


rel="canonical" href="https://site.com/page.html?Session_ID=54ffd24a867d4560a1f817604f6eb 8df"

is it bad to have the Session_ID in the rel="canonical", If so how do I remove it?

OK So I just rediscovered the the "include Session Parameters in Miva Merchant URLs" under
Domain Settings -> Site Configuration -> Include Session Parameters in Miva Merchant URL

But would the Session_ID hurt the rel="canonical" or negativtaly impact SEO

If you go all HTTPS - you will not need the Session ID. SEO wants all HTTPS - problem solved

A 'session' id should never be in a link for "SEO" purposes. Not sure how it got there as its either controlled by the URI Machine or coded directly using product code or other variables.
