Hi there,
Today I realized the same on my website.
Here is what I found:
Google Ads use query strings (this one ‘gclid’)
When clicking on your ad, the URL will look like this:
https://www.yoursite.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhpqngbHg9gIVXIWVAh07PwrZEAEYASAAEgIKe_D_BwE
By default this plugin should exclude an URL with that parameter, because the default config includes this regex:
/^(?!(fbclid|ref|mc_(cid|eid)|utm_(source|medium|campaign|term|content|expid)|gclid|fb_(action_ids|action_types|source)|age-verified|usqp|cn-reloaded|_ga|_ke)).+$/
But today I tested and it does not exclude it, and because of that, the plugin is generating problems. I had to disable it.
Something that may help is that, if I use:
/gclid/
As an excluding query string regex the plugin works well for that case, but leave it blank (default config) don′t.
