I’ve found Google takes a long, long time to get rid of pages with parameters. Unfortunately, they have no way to remove URLs with specific parameters.Yahoo Site Explorer has a way to specify what are your parameters, and how you would like Yahoo to deal with them. They also don’t have a way to force removal of specific parameters, but I’ve found they do a better job at dealing with them, since you can specify your dynamic parameters.From their page:Specify up to 10 dynamic parameters that you want us to treat specially whenever these are seen in URLs belonging to [url] We will automatically rewrite the URLs containing these parameters as specified below. You can choose to: Remove these parameters from the URLs, such as in case of session ids, you could ask to remove ’sid’ from URLs. Use a default value for the parameter, for example you could set the ’src’ parameter to be ’yhoo_srch’ More help at http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/search/siteexplorer/dynamic/
