Never End A URL With A Slash
Although I can’t post any real hard proof of this I have sites that use both a trailing slash and those that don’t and those that don’t definitely get more traffic.
For some odd reason, which may be fixed or changed at any time, Google loves urls that have zero trailing slash.
So use mod_rewrite in all its glory and configure all your plugins to avoid this and enjoy more traffic!
Even if you don’t see any improvement there’s no harm done so give it a try.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about here is what I mean:
No trailing slash = Good

Trailing slash = Bad
