What is Google Analytics saying

When GA shows this - the same link but one has the backslash at the end, what does this mean in terms of what was viewed on the page? In this case only one visitor, presumably, as there were no other listings for this URL.

Thanks.

    I should add that I see many links in GA where there is a gallery, one gallery, one URL reported, without a backslash. So not every gallery URL reported on, is reported on twice (with and without a backslash).
    Thanks.

    Hey ChancyRat,

    Those just display how the link was accessed, but other than that, there's no significance. That is the same url.

    I hope that helps!

    Thank you Lindy. So I take it this is one view being counted twice.
    Is there a setting I can tweak to remove the duplication?

    From looking at a link on my own site, if you don't include the backslash, it automatically gets added in the browser once the page loads. It seems like Google should not be registering two hits for that. You may have to report this to Google to see if they can change anything about that.
