2 Duplicate pages. One Showing "/"

[NileCruises]

In SEOMoz report I have 2 pages showing that are identical in name/URL apart from the fact that one ends with the / symbol and one doesnt'.

They are both showing as having too many on-page links. But one shows 106 links and the other shows 106.

In clients' admin section I can only find evidence of the page without the /.

I wonder if anyone could advise how best to move forward?

Honestly, I would ignore it.  SEOMoz reports these, but I have not seen them cause a problem in Google or Bing.  Both engines are smart enough to know that they are the same content.

Thanks Mat.

I've reduced the number of links on the page I can access so I'll leave it at that.

Cheers,

I would either do a 301 redirect or a canonical command for your site.

Here are two links that give you directions on how to implement both tactics.

While this is a minor issue that by itself won't break your seo efforts. Combined with other small issues they can add up. On page SEO is some of the easiest to resolve but often ignored.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Joel,

I take your point about the small issues all adding up.

Thanks for the links to the implementation and taking the time to help.

Cheers,

Colin
