Hi everyone!
I have a website and it is ranking on 1st page but the problem is with URL.
The URL is displaying as under:
domain.com/mention-vs-google-alerts/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mentio n-vs-google-alerts

I only want domain.com/mention-vs-google-alerts/

Has anybody have the solution?

    I think it is a technical error, so you tell me your developer to sort out this issue.

      In the robot.txt file you can tell google not to access pages using parameters which prevents it from being indexed. I had to do this for one of my sites, below I believe is what you need to add:

      Disallow: /mention-vs-google-alerts/?

        I agree with your answer, but it would mean that the particular page will not be indexed(or if indexed will be deindexed) in Google and so I will loose all my rankings associated with that page.
        And I don't want that.
        Correct me if I'm wrong.

          Thank you for all of your answers and the time you people gave in to solve it.
          I again checked Google and now the link looks normal.
          I think it was a technical error so when turned off RSS in settings in Genesis before a day and now the link looks completely as I wanted.

          Once again thanks everybody!
