      I just noticed that I have the exact same page showing up separately in my Google Analytics reports. One has a "/" at the end and the other does not. Otherwise, these are the exact same URL's.

      Is this something I need to be aware of from a duplicate content perspective? If so, how do I go about fixing this?

      I thought the SE's would automatically see that a URL with a "/" at the end is the same as one without, but if that is the case, why is it showing up in my reports as two separate pages?

        It's not really a duplicate content issue, mostly a reporting issue in GA due to some tracking features people choose to implement.  There's a discussion here that tells you how to filter the issue in your reports: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Analytics/thread?tid=65a45d4ad4f6871a&hl=en
