Add a trailing slash at the end of each url?

I need to append a forward slash on the end of the ActionLink. How would I do that? This is for SEO purposes.

@Html.ActionLink("About Us","Index","About")

This is clearly not an exact duplicate, at all. The OP asked for adding a trailing slash to a single ActionLink, not EVERY URL on the site, like the other question. — Ehryk, Oct 18 '12 at 08:48
OP: In the `Index` case, use `@Html.ActionLink("Text", "/", "Controller")` otherwise use `@Html.ActionLink("Text", "Action/", "Controller")` — Ehryk, Oct 18 '12 at 08:49

You can also use the URL rewrite module to enforce your SEO requirements throughout the site, without the need to write specific route functionality. This is managed from your web.config...

<rewrite>
    <rules>
        <rule name="Remove trailing slash" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
            <match url="(.*[^/])/$" />
                <conditions>
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                    <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    <add input="{REQUEST_METHOD}" pattern="POST" negate="true" ignoreCase="true" />
                </conditions>
                <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{R:1}" />
        </rule>
    </rules>
</rewrite>
