About trailing slashes and directories, you say this: > Also, the requested URI without its trailing slash may address a file or an on the fly output We have decided to standardise on using a trailing slash for on the fly output (ie - generated from our database). Is this incorrect (since the URL does not strictly represent a directory), and/or are there any other negative implications? It isn't clear to me if it is best to leave the slash off for on the fly content, or not. Thanks very much, Mike [I'm doing fine with topic/ URIs where the content gets pulled from a database :) ] Hi

We have decided to standardise on using a trailing slash for on the fly output (ie - generated from our database).

Is this incorrect (since the URL does not strictly represent a directory), and/or are there any other negative implications?

It isn’t clear to me if it is best to leave the slash off for on the fly content, or not.

Thanks very much, Mike

It could be a hiccup, but I think someone at Google has a great sense of humor. Yesterday this page was indexed: http://goo.gl/WLx4X Today it's not. At least not from here. So what happened? I've submitted a paid-links report for this page accusing it of selling links to Google's paid-links-report form (see first comment). It seems snitching works fine, and in near lightning speed :) Now that this page is apparently tanked, I'm wondering how to return the relevant search results to Google, because clearly I can't fulfill my part of the deal any longer. A deindexed page shouldn't pass link juice to the link target. A well deserved dilemma, eh? Awesome. It could be a hiccup, but I think someone at Google has a great sense of humor.
