Hi

 

I have just noticed that google has added a trailing / to my url in it's index. This is causing my css to be ignored + images.

 

What is the best practice for correcting this. Any advice warmly received

 

eg.

Fails:- http://www.theweddingstorytellers.eu/about-wedding-story-tellers.php/

Hi Nock

 

Thanks for your reply. Although I have the <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.theweddingstorytellers.eu/about-wedding-story-tellers.php" /> on this domain I have other websites that don't have a rel=canonical and they are experiencing similar problems if I add a trailing / to the url.

 

Will removing/changing the rel=canonical change the listing on google to appear without the trailing / ?

 

An alternative solution I have come with is to include the full http:// address for the css & images but is this good practice?

 

Cheers

That's brilliant advice Nock thankyou.

 

I will do as you advice as I don't want the trailing / to be the default. I've just added the canonical link as advised by an SEO expert. I clearly didn't fully understand/research the implications of the trailing /.

 

Cheers
