Subject: Googlebot Placing Delimitor's at End of URL
I recently made modifications to my web site (created links and more
pages).  The Googlebot has indexed these changes, but an error is
occurring.

The indexed URL for my new pages ends with a delimitor ("/").  The
presence of this delimitor is not allowing the pages to locate my CSS
folder.  You can test this by surfing to:

www.portlandsupport.com/delllaptop/

Note how the web page is not showing properly.  If you delete the
delimitor at the end of the URL the web page displays as it should.

I checked all of the links on my web site and none of the end with a
delimitor.  I am desperatly attempting to resolve this issue, but
beleive I have come to the end of my rope.

Anyone have breadcrumbs to toss my way?

Hi fishnmgn and welcome to the groups!

Looking at your site, I noticed that you have a Sitemap file at
http://www.portlandsupport.com/Sitemap.xml -- this Sitemap file seems
to include your URLs with a trailing slash.

At any rate, you can avoid us indexing and users running into problems
with these URLs by having your server issue a 301-redirect for these
URLs. Seeing that you have a limited number of URLs which are indexed
like this, it's probably easiest to just have them redirect separately
(instead of working with regular expressions / patterns).

Hope it helps!
John

John -

Thanks for taking the time.  You nailed it right off!  I have adjusted
my sitemap and re-uploaded.  Now I'm hoping I can request that the
sitemap get reindexed via Google Webmaster Tools.

Thanks again for your promopt and courteous assistance!
