What am I doing wrong? Is this the incorrect way to handle this? My reason for the tracking parameters is that I want to track when traffic comes from certain links.
At one point several weeks ago I had something in my robots.txt file that disallowed robots to index anything with parameters. I have since removed this but google hasn't updated yet to reflect this change. Could this some how be related?
Thanks!

You needed to use the "remove url" feature in Google Webmaster's Central after you updated your robots.txt, simply navigate to that tool and remove the URLs. Within 24 to 48 hours they should be removed from the index.
