    help question Is this bad?

    Hello

    A few days ago I had my site fixed by my hosting supplier now I have noticed that all my URLS have changed.

    This has messed up my site being listed my google search & it's now started to worry me.

    Each URL now has random numbers & letters at the end.

    '?zenid=91aedc3047cd9c0c73b2671bec61b787'


    Is this bad & how can it be fixed?
    Or should I not worry at all.


    Any help please would be wonderful

    Thank you

    The "zenid" is a session item for tracking a customer -

    Not a concern

    Are you seeing the ZenID on every URL?

    Why would it being tracking every URL? I'm sorry but I don't understand.


    & I know it has changed my google listing, because instead of my shop URL being http://www.violent-vanilla.co.uk/shop
    It now reads:
    http://www.violent-vanilla.co.uk/sho...8a9a90a445168f

    You only have to search my site & I can see the difference.. The /shop URL has now gone

    Yes, having the zenId on every URL is bad - you need to find out exactly what the hosting company changed. the zenId should only show once per session.

    Could you turn off the SEO that you are using? It does not appear to be working right ...
