    A link which shows the full URL of the page being linked at is called an ‘absolute link’. Some links only show relative link paths instead of having the entire reference URL within the a href tag. Due to canonicalization and hijacking related issues it is typically preferred to use absolute links over relative links. Example  of an absolute link is Cool Stuff  and an example relative link can be Cool Stuff
