Subject: Re: Why would these links have two different cached dates?
Theya re differnt url's and it looks like the server is not
redirecting the one without the trailing slash to the version with the
trailing slash (as it should do). So they got cached separately as of
when each was encountered during a crawl of either the website or
external links pointing to that page.

The server has to be fixed to 301 redirect http://www.squidoo.com/edi-news
to http://www.squidoo.com/edi-news/ - and all other similar urls.

Since the server is Apache, adding thsi to the root level .htaccess
file (make one if you don't already have it) shoudl solve that:

Options +Indexes +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

### add a missing traling slash to end of domain name or folder name
### ONLY in case the server does not compensate for it
### ONLY use it if needed - othewise remove this block of directives.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.squidoo.com/$1/ [L,R=301]

There likely is an .htaccess file though, so you have to be careful
how you add those directives so as not  to clash with others.

Subject: Re: Why would these links have two different cached dates?
Thanks for the answer webado.

Just for kicks, I put my site through oyoy's redirect checker.  Once
for the .com/ and again for the .com (no slash)

I noticed that there were 3 new entries in my log file when I did
that.  The first two entries (see below) are from me.  The 3rd line
came from 66.249.70.185 which is Google's IP address.  Do you (or
anyone) know if Google and oyoy.eu are connected?  Or is big brother-
bot watching me?

No idea, it would seem strange though.

Perhaps hmmm... a bit of ip spoofing is taking place? Didn't think
that was possible though ...

Maybe using some Google funnel 9fro lack of a better word) to test
headers the same way Googlebot would.

Or woudn't it be funny if just then Googlebot crawled this group
thread and followed the url I posted?  I kind of think that may have
happened.

Maybe it has something to do with the adsense on OY-OY, is the user
agent mediapartners-google?
