GYMPIE WEB SITES - Relative Links & SEO

What is the difference between relative and absolute hyperlinks and why you should know.

An absolute hyperlink is the full website address or URL path to the target webpage. Absolute hyperlinks are mostly used to link to or visit a specific page on the web i.e they are used to link out of your website to another site. an example of this link is

A Relative Hyperlink is commonly used to link internal pages within a website where the link code is set for the new page "relative" to the current page. The relative link is the path to the page from the current page. An example might be

<a href="../sites/portfolio.htm">Our Portfolio</a>

Why do you need to know the difference?
