Recently in point Stone and seowhy have seen the discussion about absolute path and considerable path, many people think that the absolute path in the SEO is superior to the relative path, in fact, but from the perspective of SEO, the two paths in the search engine eyes is exactly the same, the spider in the analysis of all the URLs of a page is usually

1, delete the link

2. Get Useful Links

Useful links include links to absolute paths and relative paths that are handled as follows

1. Direct access to Absolute links

2, such as "/cat.html" link to the domain name +/cat.html access

3, such as "cat.html" link to the current path +cat.html get

4, there are some such as ". /.. /cat.html "links are also handled

So from the search engine point of view, these links are the same, to its database are a complete link, and link conversion is essential to spiders basic functions, will not cause any bad spiders, so from the perspective of SEO, the two paths in the search engine eyes is exactly the same

Here's a look at the pros and cons of both paths

The absolute path URL has the advantage of:

1, if someone collects your website, the link inside will also point to your website

2, even if you move the page location, the link inside or point to the correct URL shortcomings, the program is not conducive to testing, because the link above is absolute link, put to the server to test

The advantages of relative paths are:

1, moving the content is relatively easy

2. Easy to test

Shortcomings

1, the page position changes, the link is easy to fail

2, more easily copied and collected

But now most of the acquisition software can identify absolute path and relative path. Some will directly remove these links, so the absolute path is not the collection has always been effective, but also said that the relative path can reduce the volume of the page, it is true, but also reduce the number.

Two are actually similar, I still recommend relative path, more convenient
