I am using Microsoft's SEO tool kit to do some optimization on my site. Every link that I i use [[~1]] instead of the actual address for gets this error message in the software. But when I check the source, it shows the actual link. I.E. When I set the home link up in my menus I link to [[~1]] and the page source when you view it on line it shows
<li><a href="
http://jbmautomation.com/">HOME</a></li>
So why am I getting these error messages and how do I eliminate them. Thanks (See Below)
Message:
The page contains unnecessary redirects.
Details:
The link to "
http://jbmautomation.com/contact/?PHPSESSID=932edf366caf03d7eb20d0cb69939517" has resulted in HTTP redirection to "
http://jbmautomation.com/contact/".
Search engines can only pass page rankings and other relevant data through a single redirection hop. Using unnecessary redirects can have a negative impact on page ranking.
Recommended Action:
If redirection is not the intended behavior, consider replacing the link URL to point directly to the destination URL.

Some servers are configured to put PHPSESSID request params in the URL; you seem to have some redirection in place that gets rid of it again.. If you can see that happening when browsing the site, I'd probably check with your hoster / IT guy to see if that can be resolved.
I don't see it at all. But Microsoft SEO Tools does. Has anyone else used this set of tools? Have you seen the same results?

Can the tool be configured to use cookies rather than the URL to pass the sessionID?
PHP has a configuration setting "session.use_cookies", and another one "session.use_only_cookies". If the setting for use_cookies is set to 1, then PHP will use a cookie if the user accepts cookies, and the URL if they don't. If the setting for use_only_cookies is set to 1, then if the user does not accept cookies he doesn't get a session.
I have this in my .htacess file which I thought would take care of it:
#Disable Session ID
php_value session.use_only_cookies 1
php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

Here is what I am trying to use. After doing some research, a lot of people seem to think it is one of the best free SEO tools out there...
