Example: http://www.wolf-howl.com/ppc/page1/?ad=google&ver=1 http://www.wolf-howl.com/ppc/page1/?ad=google&ver=2 http://www.wolf-howl.com/ppc/page1/?ad=google&ver=3 http://www.wolf-howl.com/the-real-page-that-non-ppc-traffic sees My "guess" is that this would only become a problem if people started linking to you via that ppc tracking link which they've bookmarked or cut. FWIW, I use this same method of tracking, but was just curious if I'm leaving myself open to potential issues. The thought of using redirects to canonicalize EVERYTHING makes me a bit ill. :) Thanks.

We are continually duking it out for top stop in google organic. I should start a PPC campaign saying that tonyrocks.cc does NOT rock. hehe. Good stuff man...yes you are quite jovial. Mike,
