Trailing Slashes for homepage

[adnan1101]

Hello I have read all articles about internal pages with or without Trailing Slashes but what if suppose I have a website that is http://abc.com when i search in google like site:abc.com I see result as http://abc.com/ in the google search so my question is should I make backlinks to http://abc.com or to http://abc.com or it does not effect SEO if we build any backlinks to any version of home page?

Hey Adnan,

I do not think you need to worry about in terms of "link building" with this. But, if you're dealing with duplicate content issues then it's advisable to go with the preferred URL that google is showing or implement a redirection.

Hope this helps!
