    Absolute and relative links
    For those of you who do not know the difference between an absolute and relative link, the following examples should make it clearer.
    An absolute link defines a specific location of the Web file or document including: the protocol to use to get the document, the server to get it from, the directory it is located in, and the name of the document itself. Below is an example of an absolute link:
    <a href="http://www.domain.com/pagename.html"></a>
    With a relative link, the search engine spiders and browsers already know where the current document is located. Thus, if you link to another document in the same directory, you will not need to write out the full URL. Only the file name is necessary. Below is an example of a relative link:
    <a href="pagename.html"></a>
    Notice that the domain name or the http://www is not included in this type of link.

    A link which shows the full URL of the page being linked to. Some links only show relative link paths instead of having the entire referenced URL within the a href tag.
    Due to canonicalization and hijacking related issues it is typically preferred to use absolute links over relative links.
