hello webmasters, I m working on a new site starting with On-page linking i have notice one thing while placing a services page link in the index page its like dis: <a href="services.html">Services</a> is dis a correct format to place a link or i should us full url like <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/services.html">Services</a> advice me which one is correct for crawlers. Thanks in advance regards Arun
Hello Second One is very useful for your site put like this <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/services.html" title="Keyword">Services</a>
Both are correct since you have an anchor text. When click on it, the browser will add http:// to the link.
I think the first one will not work in many sites like forum submission sites and article submission sites. The second one is the one i recommend.
Google always like full link so i think <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/services.html">Services</a> is better.
