yoursite.com or yoursite.com/ ?
I saw a topic somewhere about links. the discussion was about having a slash after th link is better or not. I was going to get back to that post and read it again but I lost it.

Now do you think that
<A HREF='http://www.yoursite.com'>

is better or :

<A HREF='http://www.yoursite.com/'>

Thanks

You need to make sure that all url in your website works without back slash "/" because Yahoo drops it upon indexing pages.
