What are the Google search URL parameters and what do they mean?

[RH-Calvin]

URL Parameters are parameters whose values are set dynamically in a page's URL, and can be accessed by its template and its data sources. This makes pages incredibly dynamic, enabling a single page to power an endless number of views.

Hi

The URL Parameters tool categorizes parameters as either active or passive

Active parameters can change page content. Examples include parameters such as brand, gender, country, and sortorder. Here are some common types of transformations created by active parameters

Passive URL parameters have no affect on how content appears to the user; they are often used to track visits and referrers, but have no affect on the actual content of the page. For example, the following URLs all point to the exact same content
