    Hi

    I would like to know which is better:

    when adding links in a html page should the links have the full domain name like this www. mysite.com/contact.html or just the page name like this contact.html without adding the domain name every time. ( i need to know which is better for SEO and website downloading speed etc.

    The second question is:
    when you add contents to a website is it better to add it to a folder like this www. mysite.com/new_contents.html or is it best to add it in form of subdomain i.e
    www. new.contents.mysite.com

    I hope you can help me asap.

    Thanks
    carl

    1. I think www. mysite.com/contact.html will have more SEO than contact.html.

    2. www. mysite.com/new_contents.html is best than using of any subdomains.

    i suggest you don't use absolute url....................just use contact.html it will be your website page................and will not harm your ranking .................... its count as inbound links................if you add absolute url then it may count as external links from the page..........................

    If in the future you are going to change your domain although you never know
    use /contact..html, SEO is not affected by anyone of your option

    and for your second question don't use a sub domain for that.

    1) use contact.html as seo dont take backlinks from the original site itself :D

    2) use http: // yoursite.com/yourpage as subdomain is a waste and not user friendly!!

    Always keep your main site inside your links because you never know who may link to it with some high power link juice!

    The images for the navigation are hard to read as it seems the quality isn't up to snuff.

    When adding links, you better use contact.html than the URL of your website. Submitting the URL of your website doesnt look good if you are doing SEO for your website.

    The second question: (www.mysite.com/new_contents.html) is the best.
