Internal Links

[Costa Boy]

In trying to get as high up in Google as possible I have been researching SEO.

I came across a statement which said - when you link pages within your site always use the full URL.

Is this important or false?

Bottom line is I haven't!

Using Dreamweaver to link my internal pages I used the link function - the pages link but when I view the source code on the web I just see the page title not the full URL.

But if I use the hyperlink option isn't that a negative from SEO point of view as it looks like I'm linking to an external site everytime I link my internal pages?

I try to link using the full URL, but using relative paths are fine as well.

One thing I would make sure you do is to always link to your home page as the domain name and never as the server default doc.

No: Home

Yes: Home

As I respect incrediblehelp I took his word and changed my links to the home page from an internal link to a hyperlink instead, putting in the full URL.

I won't bother changing all my other links within my site as there are hundreds and nobody has indicated it being worthwhile.

Thanks
