google search results - append custom parameter to url string

Question

how do you append an additional url parameter to a link in your google search results? is it possible to do this within the style sheet?

for example i have domain.com/result.htm - i want to change the link to domain.com/result.htm?param=1

thank you

That´s quite simple. On the default stylesheet find this code snippet:

    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping='yes' select="U"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>

If you want to append a fixed param like in your example, changeit by:

    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping='yes' select="U"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="'?extra=param'"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>

This will append to any url a "?extra=param"

thanks, i tried it but getting a error - "The reference to entity "testLink" must end with the ';' delimiter." any thoughts?

Hi, that´s because you entered an ampersand on the test url "&". Try replacing it with "&". Just like: <xsl:value-of select="'?extra=param&param2=value2'"/>

If google didn't crawl it like that, I don't think it's going to index it like that.
