What does it mean when you see things like: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>?__utma=1.32168570.1258672608.1258672608.1259628772.2&__utmb=1.4.10.1259628772& </code></pre> etc in the the url string? Maybe it's simple, but I'm thinking it's something I'm not aware of because I see it every now and again.
