Dashes and no dashes in backlinking of domain...problem?

by Cataclysm1987 Posted: 15 years ago 1 replies

I have a new domain I've been backlinking a lot, and one of my SEO's set out a project and partly messed up my domain name to include a dash, and then no dash.

I have heard this is bad and don't have enough data on my own to confirm it.

What I mean is, my backlinks are now split thanks to my crummy SEOs into two different groups:

http://mydomain.com

and

http://mydomain.com/

Is this a problem?

If so, what is the solution?

I need to know. I have heard that this effectively splits your link juice into two entirely different directories, but I can't confirm this with my own data. Can someone please offer some advice?

The solution I've seen is that you should redirect your no-slash pages to the slash pages.

Regardless of the impact that the slash/noslash issue has, this will be a safe bet to make certain that you're getting the benefit of the links.
