    slash or no slash

    Chris

    Would Google consider these 2 the same and not split PR?

    Which one should I hard code in my html, with or without the "/"?

    Would it hurt if I hard coded without "/"?

    Hardcode with, as that is more appropriate. Google shouldn't split PR.

    Issues like you refer to were never 100%. Some people would be fine and others wouldn't.

    Chris,

    Should I do the same for the domain name too?

    http://www.lemons.com/
    instead of
    http://www.lemons.com

    Or it doesn't matter for domain name?

    Doesn't matter.

    With the directories it is simply a matter of standards or tradition.
