 * I am wore out trying to find an answer to this question. I’m really hoping someone
   can help.
 * I am using custom post name /%postname%/
 * In google webmaster tools I have some duplicate content showing under duplicate
   title tag, and duplicate meta description.
 * If I look at my top content I see many pages that are showing up twice. For example,
   I see [http://noahsdad.com/story](http://noahsdad.com/story), but further down
   the page I see [http://noahsdad.com/story/](http://noahsdad.com/story/).
 * So is google considering this as different pages? In a browser if I go to a page
   they seem to all have the ‘/’ however I can take the / off and hit enter and 
   the same page shows up without the /. This isn’t just my site, but I tested this
   on other people’s sites as well. So I’m assuming either a) this isn’t considered
   duplicate content, or b.) It is duplicate content and everyone that I tested 
   has duplicate content.
 * If it isn’t considered duplicate content, is it normal for google webmaster tools
   to show the two urls (that are really the same url) like I explained?
 *  I know my content has been linked differently all over the web. I’m sure some
   people link with the slash, and many others link without the slash. Since both
   links work, I’m wondering if I have two of every page? If that makes sense.
 * I think I made a mistake (and probably need to cancel all of them) but I did 
   a ton of redirects and redirected as many non / pages as I could to pages that
   ended in a /. So if you go to [http://noahsdad.com/story](http://noahsdad.com/story),
   it will 301 redirect you to [http://noahsdad.com/story/](http://noahsdad.com/story/)–
   Is the wrong way to do it? Should I cancel all of those.
