Absolute Links Vs Relative Links

Define Absolute Links Vs Relative Links and where these are used?

 

relative links are start from your base path, for example:

<img src="/images/somefile.gif">

Code (markup):

Absolute path is full path with domain

<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/images/somefile.gif">

Code (markup):

 

Where are they used? You can use them where you want. It is a matter of preference.

 

Absolute links are like this : http : // abc.com / index.php
Relative links are like this: / index.php

If you are linking to some content within your own domain,, you will use relative links.. while linking to contents on other domain you use absolute links..

 

Relative links are better , you maybe want to copy site db or change domain of site , then if you use absolute , it will not appear yournewdomain.tld but yourcurrentdomain.tld , just suggestion

 

Thanks but tell some more examples where it is used?

 

Not so popular to me but looking at those examples, they are just used for coding and making links to a page or object.

<img src="/images/somefile.gif"> - he didn't define the home page for the image is in the your own sub-folder (uploaded on your web hosting) and is applicable in coding your own/hosting site only.

<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/images/somefile.gif"> - though it an be used if the image is in your sub-folder, it is normally used to call the image uploaded on not on your site or else where in the internet.

 

Is Google consider any defference between both of back links?

 

No, Google won't make any difference between those two

 

Yes,
Absolute:http : // domain / pagename
Relevant:/Page name
Of course google like Relevant links
