It's only really necessary to include the query string in anchor tags.

  <a href="foo/bar?bot=shakey">

In forms use hidden fields to pass additional arguments.

  <form action="foo/bar">
  <input type="hidden" name="bot" value="shakey">

Check out any decent HTML reference for more information on using forms.

Good luck!
