Can shared borders be a problem?

Internal links

[mark4]

Can shared borders with all internal links located within the borders them selves cause any problems when trying to get pages listed within google.

What i am thinking is that google won't be able to follow any hyperlinks within our site if they are placed within the border is this correct or not, any advice would be kindly appreciated.

Hi mark4,

Welcome to Webmaster World.

It all depends on what type of shared borders you mean.

If they are Frontpage shared borders and links are straight html there should be no problem. Same for SSI.

If you are calling an external javascript file or if the links are in javascript then Google will not follow them.

The best way to check is to call up a page in a browser and view the source to see what was delivered. If the links are html you're okay.

Be sure to read Marcia`s WebmasterWorld Welcome and Guide to the Basics [webmasterworld.com] post.

I´m not quite sure what you mean by links within the borders.

Google will follow links when they appear in your html source code as

<a href="relURI¦absURI">Link</a>

Thankyou for the swift replys, if you right click any page on the site to view source code it does show up hyperlinks within the borders but it only shows them up as EG. Contactus.htm and NOT [mydomain.com...] do i need to change all the links & put the full domain before them to get google to follow them or are they alright as they are.

Hi Mark and Welcome,

No you don't need to put the domain in the link text.
