[千百度站群]SEO和内部链接：相对URL与**URL

To some SEO questions there are no definitive answers unfortunately. Using absolute or relative URLs to interlink related site subpages is just such a question.

Many SEOs will tell you there is no difference and the main thing is to be consistent with your choice. Others (they seem to be in majority) support absolute URLs, while web developers and designers consider it stupid and irrational.

I did my best to make up the list of all possible pros and cons and leave that for you to decide:

Absolute URLs for internal interlinking:

Example千百度站群: < a href=”https://www.searchenginejournal.com/about-us/4070″>About SEJ < /a>

are better when handling canonicalization issues;

are safer when talking about site hijacking;

are safer when switching to a new CMS;

will save you in cases when your content is stolen and the thief does not take time changing the internal references;

are a better choice if your content is distributed via email (you do want your readers to click the internal links and actually

get

to the page, don’t you?);

might

be easier for search engines to follow as they resolve all relative URLs to absolute ones before following them.

Relative URLs for internal interlinking千百度站群:

(First, a short definition of a relative URL)

Example: < a href=”/about-us/4070″>About SEJ < /a>

make it easy to move from one domain to another one;

make the code shorter which

might

decrease a page’s download time.
