question on internal linking

Hi - busy trying to seo my own website but not sure on one thing.

I have the navigation setup but wanted to add links to the other pages at the bottom of the page.

is it better to use domain.com/pagename.html or just pagename.html as the links ?

just wondering if there are any pros or cons to either way.

 

It does not matter.
The address is the same as long as all pages are in the same domain.
More important for seo is the anchor :
Use <a href="pagename.html" title="Page Name">Page Name</a> where "Page Name" is a keyword (like "Free Hosting")
The alt tag for images is important too.Use it.

 

haven't used 'title' before is that important ?

without spamming this forum one of my links reads :-

<a href="http://www.**********.net">*************</a>

would it better to have it as :-

<a href="http://www.*********.net" title="*********">********</a>

as I thought the title tag was only used in the header ???

 

I always use title on my links just so they get a nice pop up, which I feel ads to the effectiveness of the anchor itself.. i.e. when they hover over the link/image the title will pop up saying "click here to find out more!"

I don't think they way you link internally, regarding the aesthetic of it, matters so much as the fact that your site does have a good internal linking structure.

 

great - will try this so it makes it a little easier for people to see that it is an actual link !

 

Agreed - I always add both anchor text and title text. Also, consider one or two links from within the body of your text using anchor text.
