Addthis adds a random number onto my urls
Hi there,
Whenever I put Addthis onto my sites I get a random number appear after the url e.g. http://www.mywebsite.com/index.html#.T-Bg7itYuhM. I've noticed it on some of the pages on this site too. Is there any way to get rid of this, it makes my urls look untidy.
Many thanks
Pete

Looks like you've enabled address bar tracking which appends those parameters to your URL. They're there so that we can collect analytics when someone copies the URL out of the address bar instead of going through our sharing tool. It shouldn't affect people linking to your site and can provide insight into what content is the most popular on your site.
If they're not wanted or are causing issues, you're free to disable address bark sharing tracking. Just adjust your addthis_config variable like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = addthis_config||{};
addthis_config.data_track_addressbar = false;
</script>
