Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi,

As stated here

http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/redirection

Using 301 redirect will preserve over 90% of your link juice. Give Google some time and it should pick up new page locations depending on your crawl rate.

As for seeing pages as new content, based on my short experience there is a period where Google will display new urls as new pages, but after a while he will realize that they have just moved. I'm not sure if there is a way to avoid this.

Kind regards

Hi there,

This should solve your problem

 <code>#removes trailing slash
         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
         RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
         RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^\.localhost$ [NC]
         RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}$1 [R=301,L]</code>

If you wish to redirect from non-trailing slash to trailing slash,

let me you know and I'll send you htaccess for that

Kind regards

Bojan
