Absolute Link - An absolute path or full path link. It
specifies the entire URL address.
For example: -
<a href= "http://seo.yu.hu.com/seo_glossary.htm">SEO Glossary</a> as
opposed to a relative
link -
<a href= "seo_glossary.htm">SEO Glossary</a>. The advantage of the absolute
link is that it is supposedly followed better by search engines. This may result in faster registration in search
engines, but not necessarily in higher positioning. It seems to be important for image listings.
The advantage of the relative link is that it makes the
Web site portable to a different domain if so desired. Ami Isseroff October 1, 2008
Note - Definitions of Search Engine
Optimization terms are based on inferences from common usage and definitions given by other sources. Conclusions about
search engine behavior are based on understanding of the behavior of the most popular search engines. Both are subject
to error or may change. Search engine company management may define or use a term or set or change any policy in any way
they see fit, and may make these definitions and specifications public or not. These decisions and definitions are
beyond our control. Notice: Copyright
