There have been some discussions going on about the impact or not of this in terms of indexability, – my recommendation, just in case, even if there should be none based on what Google has shared, is to ensure canonical tags are in place in PDPs – but there’s a bigger conversation I’m glad is taking place in terms of attribution too.
I think this post addresses my anxieties here. I believe John, but I also feel uncomfortable as this situation feels a little counter to how search should behave.
I’d be amazed if Google don’t address this relatively soon without needed further action from site owners.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been really troubled by how incorrect some things are related to this. I saw someone saying the only answer was to redirect all the srsltid= URLs, which is terrifyingly wrong advice and probably causing some huge issues for websites right now.
