i am trying to use long tail keywords as anchor text and link to inner pages not just the home page. the problem is the html code will not fit into the places i type it in, it is to long. it does this

<a
href="http://thedomainname.com/inside-page-number-one.html">the long tail keyword</a>

and when i check it the link does not work. what can i do to make the link work?

thank you kindly;
maryjane

    Hi MaryJane

    If the page you want to link to is in the same dir as the page that is calling it, then you don't need to have all the info in the link.

    Try This:

    <a href="inside-page-number-one.html">the long tail keyword</a>

    The link you have above should work fine as long as you dont have a hard carrage return after the <a

    What are you using as your editor for the page? I build links that are much longer than that and the "code" just wraps to the editor with no issue in the link..

    Have a Great Day!

      i am just typing them myself. like when i am filling out my bio on a page telling others about me, so no editor is used.

      no hard carriage return i just type it in or paste it in.

      so your suggestion would only work if i am trying to link my pages together not from someones page to mine? is that right?

      thanks;
