My Index.htm Is A Redirect?

[Depco]

I am strarting to work on search rankings.

I used a service at http://www.delorie.com/web/ses.cgi to supposedly "see" what a spider sees. Their service says there is a redirect when trying to go to my site.

What could be causing that?

 

I notice that when I type in www.depcopump.com is goes to www.depcopump.com/

(with the backslash) Can this be changed?

Could this be fouling up search engines?

Web addresses require that trailing slash. A properly configured server will automatically redirect an address without the slash to the correct address with the slash. The only change you can make to that would be to disable that function in the server. That would mean that the address www.depcopump.com would simply produce an error page instead of the actual index page because it is not a legitimate address.

Ok,

Makes sense now. When I add the backslash it gives no complaint.

When I click on any of my bookmarks (that are not to a specific page) there is a backslash added for me in the Firefox address bar.

Thanks!
