Thanks Steve. You really dug this post up from the dead Glad you did, need to update it.

There are several WordPress plugins that will do that for you, although I can’t think of them off the top of my head.

Thanks for the note though!

Hi, I was able to cook up a regular expression for .htaccess that will add a slash to the end of directories. (aka “yoursite.com/blog” will become “yoursite.com/blog/”). I just now put it together and have not thoroughly tested it.

# add slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/[^/]+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1/ [R=301,L]

wpSEO: More SEO for WordPress…

WordPress is simple, minimalistic and yet extremely powerful. However, being easy-to-use, the engine has also some huge disadvantages – e.g. â€œnakedâ€ WordPress is very inefficient when it comes to SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

The duplicate content pages on a blog aren’t as useless as many blogging “experts” claim. Look at how powerful the linking structures are on Wikipedia channelling around relevance.

They also bring in search traffic as additional optimized landing pages.

Have a delve through my SEO category, it is in date based order, so the more advanced stuff is nearer the bottom such as my WordPress SEO for competitive niches

Thanks for stopping by Andy. I’m about to go research that plugin a little more right now. I noticed you’re using it, obviously. Why not just restrict two of the three options with robots.txt or nofollow? I realize having them all accessible is good for the structure (spidering) but I would imagine it’s worse for rankings.

I wouldn’t say it cures duplicate content, it just stops them leaking but they are still indexed unlike conventional SEO techniques.
