what is diiferance between url and url/ ??

hi,

plz tell me what is differance between htp://www.xyz.com and htp://www.xyz.com/

will one single "/" affect on url traffic? which on is correct?

what will be effect of it on search engine? and its ranking??


Plz reply

 

I think not any difference, Is i am correct ?

 

Yes there is a difference between the two. the browser communicates to the server requesting domain.com. First the server looks for a file called "domain.com" and can't find anything. it then adds a trailing slash and then tries to find a directory called "domain.com" then the server returns the default file for the directory. so if a browser requests http://www.domain.com instead of http://www.domain.com/, the visitor is actually being redirected to the later one. this forces the web server to work harder than it needs.

as far as SEO is concerned, this thing does not affect the SEO.

 

hey shailendra, thanks for clarify it.

 

@nehashweta: in short, no. the SE bot considers both as the same.

 

no both are different........

 

I don't see how this could make any difference SEO wise. It's mostly a browser thing.

 

i think both are different........ but they not affect on SEO.

 

your welcome bradmantra

 

both are same...and they doesn't make any difference in results.

 

Yep !!!
Both are same
Not any difference for url and url/

 

I think there is difference but I dont know what it is.. But it seems shailendra has point.
