    My site is: www.spireviews.com and I get some bad penalties/session ID filters, I think.

    You can get rid of them but you may or may not want to. If the session id is being stored in the url data it is generaly for users who have cookies disabled and yet maintain a session.

    However I was having problem with this with Drupal for reasons not related to session ids. Anyway here is the post I made about solving the problem.

    It depends. If your site uses sessions then it is not safe to use this method. Basically it would be cutting off people who's web browsers do not support cookies or people who have cookies disabled from properly using your site.

    If your site can function properly without session ids then it is safe.

    Are you using some sort of content mangment system or other scripting?
