Ugly extension on my urls

lgmsites Aug 08, 2012 02:51PM EDT

Hi

I've got this ugly extension on the end of all my urls and it seems to be associated with the Addthis plugin;

http://elitesecurity.ie/company/about-us/#.UCKz2URyi2w

I disabled the plugin and it disapeared, reactivated it and it reapeared.
I uninstalled the plugin and it disapeared, reactivated it and it reapeared.

Any thoughts on how to get rid for good? I want to use add this but if I cant rectify then I'll need to find another social plugin.

Cheers

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>

More information about address bar sharing analytics is available here: http://www.addthis.com/help/address-bar-sharing-analytics
