What is deep linking?

6 replies
Okay so I'm using running with an affiliate program and in the info section it says 'deep linking is not allowed'. So what does deep linking actually mean?

Thanks,

Sam

    What is deep linking?
    Linking to an interior page.

    A vendor may want people to follow their sales path. If you "deep link" say to the order form, this will circumvent the "path."

    A deep link is a hypertext link to a page on a Web site other than its home page. The "deep" refers to the depth of the page in a site's hierarchical structure of pages. Any page below the top page in the hierarchy can thus be considered deep.
