The reason was that we had some old links floating around with the /index/ so the idea was that this would be a quick and easy solution to that problem.

n0xie, I didn't even know about canonical tags (until now). That should work perfectly and is a better solution. Thank you.


Thanks for your help everybody, sorry if I didn't make sense at first.

Aah now THAT makes sense. Now I see why you would do that.

Well if you are worried you could always just write a rewrite rule. Off the top of my head (so probably not working) but just to give you an idea:

Code:

Rewriterule ^(.*)/index /$1 [R=301,L]

It should be something like 'redirect all url's which end with /index to the same url without index'.

Glad that it makes sense now! A rewrite rule is what I was originally looking for but I couldn't seem to make it work.

Ill play around with the code tomorrow. Thanks!
