Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We were told by a consultant that in SEO it is best practice to canonicalize our homepage URL with the trailing slash. What do you think about doing this for the homepage? Is it important for other site links to have the trailing slash as well

Any reason these numbers are so much different? SeoMoz Competitive Domain Analysis:
Followed Linking Root Romains: 288
Total Linking Root Domains: 338 Open Site Explorer
Linking ROot Romains: 127

I show in open site explorer that I have 8 Facebook likes for my domain but I actually have 1500+ Facebook likes. Am I missing something?
