    In google analytics I noticed something unusual today. /soccer-shooting/ and /soccer-shooting are both my top pages. Sure enough when I went to them, there wasn't a redirect.

    Can this count as duplicate content? And if so, how do I fix the problem. Thanks!

    Sadly, that count for a duplicate content :(

    Try redirecting these with:

    
if ($REQUEST_URI[strlen($REQUEST_URI)-1] != '/') {
   header('location: '.$whereyouhaveto.'/');
}
    Code (markup):
    Cheers,

    Aw man, no one every told me. There has to be an easier way than doing that every time right? And which one should I make the primary one the / or without the slash.

    I would suggest, make the / the primary.

    You use redirect, ore .htaccess :) your choice... for .htaccess you have to get privileges for the server administration.
