Problem here. google sees the following as 2 separate urls www.home.com/dir/ and www.home.com/dir Yahoo sees those two as the same URL. Im wondering how should I rewrite the urls... I had www.home.com/dir forward to www.home.com/dir/ but yahoo still indexes /dir without last slash. Will dup content be an issue here? Now I switched to mambo and it has its quircks with SEF urls. Help? Or should I just let the old urls die off? They do have PR (4/3) =\ wouldnt want to loose it.
ah screw it, ill loose PR on google for 1 page. Ill just make all urls end with nothing instead of "/"
MSN does the same thing. It's annoying as hell. I wrote a little blurb about it on Search Engine Roundtable almost 2 years ago... http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/000143.html
At least im not the only one who hates it! but what should I do? As i said, is it ok for me to drop out the trailing slash?
Try a 301 redirect from www.home.com/dir to www.home.com/dir/index.htm and change the link from www.home.com/dir/ to www.home.com/dir/index.htm wich for google is the same. I had the same problem and it worked fine for me. Good luck !!!!!!
