What is splitting of links?

**MarcusWrite** · 07-14-2010 04:56 PM

I read in an article that one should avoid splitting of links.
Links that come from outside shall have same url as internal links of the same landing page.
What does that mean?
I am quite confused

It is for the first time I have heard about splitting the links what do you mean by splitting of links?

The importance of creating the perfect link which will not allow the splitting of the link with the another link, but if a page has to many links coming from it, So it can splitting available "link juice" too much and may not be worth the trouble. This tends to happen a lot with forums, commenting on blogs, and directories.

It means that links should point to to the same URI rather than some to the index page name and others to the directory root.Splitting links and canonical URL seems the same. A split link is a link that has a 2-sphere in its complement separating one or more link components from the others.
