I have recently added my website to Google, and I don't understand why he adds useless parameters to my URLs.

Normal URL:

build/view/2/akali/mid

Google URL:

build/view/2/akali/mid?role=adc

That's boring because the parameter role take the value adc instead of mid.

How can I do to avoid this?

Google doesn't add parameter to URL alone. Googlebot follows links and display URL it finds.

Search on your webpages and links from other websites. Then, correct these links if you don't want Google displays them.

  • All urls are correct on the website. Look at google.com/…

  • Maybe you have backlinks with incorrect parameters. Look at your JavaScript code also. Remember Googlebot saves links it finds.

  • Did you check links from external websites?

    I think I have found the solution: Google Webmaster Tools -> URL Parameters -> edit -> No URLs.

In addition to change the option on Google Webmaster Tool (URL Parameters -> edit -> No URLs), don't forget to use the canonical tag to help Google to erase the bad pages indexed.
