- Relative and Absolute Link Code
- Posted by Peter on March 23rd, 2006
Hi. In my html, I define my links in a relative format, like this:
href="../"
Does this affect my Page Rank in any way? Or should I declare the full
URL, like this:
href="http://www.google.com"
Thanks,
Peter.

There shouldn't be any difference. Search engine spiders should be able
to follow those links also. Use a text-only browser (Lynx) to test that
your links can be followed.

Ok, so Google will still see href="../" as an internal vote to my home
page the same way that a full URL will?
