Quick Tip: Link Correctly to Your Homepage

It’s very important for SEO purposes that you link to your homepage correctly. Basically when you link from your inner pages or another website back to your homepage you must be sure that you’re linking directly to the root address, in other words link directly to your domain name.

So for example if your homepage is saved as home.html DON’T link to yourwebsite.com/home.html instead, just link to yourwebsite.com

This helps search engines such as Google to index and rank your pages correctly. When you’re sending some visitors to yourwebsite.com/home.html and others to yourwebsite.com the search engines see that as two separate pages which is not good SEO practice.
