question: is: http://www.site.com/ http://www.site.com (no trailing slash) ...the same for PR purposes?
Yes they are same for PR purposes... Check PR for : http://forums.digitalpoint.com http://forums.digitalpoint.com/ They both are PR7
Yup no need to worry about that But take care about http://site .com and http://www. site .com it is treated different...
Also note that 'www.site.com/directory' and 'www.site.com/directory/' (with trailing slash) is not the same. Cryo.
hmm are you sure? i mean, isn't it the same as: domain.com and domain.com/ ? the / from the end is added automatically by browsers...
Browsers can't automatically add the slash to directories, because there's no guarentee that they are. It's quite acceptable to have a URL in the form /path/file with no extension, so the browser has to check with the server. If it is a directory after all, then server will tell the browser to add the slash on the end of the URL. Cryo.
