What is the best way to link a backlink?

[rboarderi]

Does anyone know the correct and most effective html format to create a backlink. I am stumped on this and whether to add the http://www. or even www. in the html. If someone could give me a good example I would really appreciate it.

its better if you use url with www.. and it should permanent redirect to non www version...

[corlock]

a complete url address is much more advisable than putting up only "www" or an "http://" without a "www"...

What's the difference? Some would prefer either with www or without www. It does not affect your SEO position or traffic.

[bogs]

the result might be different... traffic for example...

[Hafsoh]

I will go with the full http://www. For internal links, I think its better to use absolute links.

[arcel]

imo. completing the URL is more advisable.

yeah, without www are just used for some users who are very lazy typing www, and I think most of the users do it

I think people are missing Bogs' joke. :}

Frankly, it doesn't matter as long as you are consistent and 301 the one you don't use to the one you do.

You can see the big difference...

users usually types an address without an http or www, that's why programmers uses redirection for redirecting to a complete URL address...

what you are saying is irrational, obviously, a site cannot be located or even published without an http://www or http://...

Most browsers assume http:// and if they can't find the domain they redirect it to a search engine query.

Of course, ftp:// and https:// are also among the valid protocols for a URL.

It's not irrational, obviously, if your site does not run without www, meaning your site is weak. You should know how to have your site easier to type, because most of the people does not type www before the domain name.

My tips is to add this in .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^WEBSITE\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.WEBSITE.com/$1 [R=301,L]

[marketsnipers]

I agree with others here. www is recommended.

[MrCat]

I also include the http:// when building links.

Now I think you should also focus on your anchor texts

[my_misyel]

Some directories or submissions need you to include "http://www" ... otherwise your work is completely a waste of time.

I would recommend you to use http: // www. Your Url . com version of back links.

It will help you from seo viewpoint

[full house]

using a complete url would be the best . . . it means thats a main page. . . I think google will give credit to that!

http://www or www dont have much different. But has to use only one through out the site.
