Quoting "Shai Gluskin" shai@content2zero.com:
Support Peoples,
I sent out a URL to 100 people that had a period "." appended.
Was: example.com/page. Should have been: example.com/page
I sent it 3 hours ago and just discovered it a few minutes ago. I'm dreading going in to my log file to see all the page not founds... The short term answer is to create a path alias "example.com/page." that points to " example.com/page".
In the longer run, though, I'm worried about messing up my Google Analytics statistics -- people bookmarking the page which will then reinforce the problem, etc, etc...
Is there a more elegant solution to this?
GlobalRedirect - I think - will help. http://drupal.org/project/globalredirect
GlobalRedirect (which is beneficial for SEO in general) does a number of things including: * Checks the current URL for an alias and does a 301 redirect to it if it is not being used. Provided that example.com/page. is an alias for example.com/page (and it sound like it is), if you install and enable GlobalRedirect and user accessing example.com/page. would automatically be redirected to example.com/page Users would never bookmark example.com/page. as it's not shown in the web browser for long enough!
However, please check that you are happy with *all* the effects of GlobalRedirect before installing and enabling the module.
Regards.
