    Hi Friends,

    I have one query. I have one site and the following page are opening with slash (/) and also without slash (/). I think this will show two different pages accordingly to Google. So can you please let me know how can I solve this issue?

    Do I need to make code in .htaccess. If so then can you please tell me exactly which code I need to use to solve this issue?

    For example:
    www.domainname.com/locatoion/
    www.domainname.com/location

    I think, you should use canonical URLs to solve this problem. More details about it is given at here: support(dot)google(dot)com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en

    If you are running WordPress then you can set your permalink at Settings > Permalinks, you should stick to one only. with slash or without, also if you have WordPress SEO plugin installed, it makes it easier to set the canonical url (preferred version of your delicate urls ).

    May be such that the user's browser automatically puts slashes?
