using www.mysite.com/ compared to www.mysite.com means that the server has slightly less processing to do

I think the question was how the search
engines treat it - do they give credit from one to the other, etc.

This is related to the way the server redirects incoming traffic to the site's root doc. In some cases of virtual hosting, you need to specify the trailing / to explicitly direct to the root document of the virtual site. Saying www.yoursite.com/ is the same as saying [yoursite.com...] or whatever you have in your server config. Without the trailing slash you are asking the server to do a redirect (which it will happily do). However your visitor might not like it - for example some spiders don't like to encounter a redirect at the root document level. Use the trailing slash with no penalty, or if it is inside an href specify the actual file e.g. http*www.yoursite.com/index.html [edited by: martinibuster at 7:32 am (utc) on May 23, 2004]
