link organizing

[kelly_boyce]

hello,

i was wondering if anyone could advice me on how the best way i should structure my links on my site? i have alot of links and at the moment i am just linking it like this:
<a href="help/index.html">Help</a>

instead of linking it like that will it help improve ranking if i put the full link like this:

<a href="http://mysite.com/help/index.html">Help</a>

thanks

Kelly, there have been periodic debates about the merits of relative vs. absolute URLs in your code. If you search on those two words you'll discover a few of them. It seems like both have their proponents. Relative (short) URLs offer lighter pages and easier transportability of code between domains. Absolute (long) URLs offer better assurance of things loading properly even when a page is cached or moved, and easier copying of code within a site (since one doesn't have to worry about the relative reference changing.

See what seems to work for you - 99% of the time, either approach will work fine.
