Links?

No links showing up?

[dtharp]

i have internal links that aren't showing up.... if you plug the url into a spider simulator it shows ZERO internal links....I know that my url has been on google for a year and google has never indexed the rest of my site content which is unusual...whats going on here the links work in a browser for navigation but dont show up for spiders

Are the links plain text links? or are you using javascript / flash / images / something else?

EDIT>...oh welcome to the board:)

[dtharp]

well i just learned that i cant post specific links so dont know how to give you my url so you can check out the code...the are plain text links as far as i know here is how one appears with the acutal info blocked out

<A href="http://www.biznamehere.net/pagenamehere.html">

doesnt get any more simple...?

<A href="http://www.biznamehere.net/pagenamehere.html">

The above won't show as an internal link, because it contains the full domain name - so it is an external link.

The correct syntax for an internal link would be:

<a href="/pagenamehere.html">

You could try and get some links from external sites to your internal pages. This should also help with the spiders.

You can post your site in your webmasterworld profile if you want

encyclo, I think you're mistaken. It absolutely will show as an internal link whether it is absolute or relative.

is there an advantage to one or the other
