I shall definitely get on to this ASAP.
Is there a similar tool for Google?
Really though, the search engine spiders should be clever enough to perform the following.
1: Crawl the page
2: If tracking codes or ID’s appear to exist, crawl the page again without them.
3: compare pages with and without the codes
4: if content is the same, judge it to be the same page and index accordingly.

No extra work for us and no duplicate content for the search engines and better results for the searchers.

Great post – thanks for the tips.

One thing you didn’t really cover is the issue of keyword research which should be the starting point of any optimisation activity.

Have you found that optimising for Yahoo has positive or negative effects on your Google ranking? ie can the two be complimentary?
