backlink inquiry...linking to own site??

Hiya,

I was researching my competitor's backlinks and found out that most of the 'backlinks' were in fact coming from their own site in the first place...

This lead me to believe that my competitors are writing out their whole url (http:// and all) to link to their other internal pages.

.. is this a nifty trick so it looks like a site has loads of back links?

.. or am I reading waaaay too much into this!!

Cheers

Lou

Linking to your own pages definately helps, but not as much as links coming from other sites.

For example, if your site has 100 PR4 pages, and you link each one back to your homepage, it wouldn't be as beneficial as 100 PR4 links from external sources.

There is nothing called internal or external links because SE see pages and not sites as a whole.

Google considers all links that point to a certain page, no matter which site they come from

At the moment I have anchor text for the main menu in my website which I have linked using the browsing function in dreamweaver (so it hasnt got the whole linking url)...

...so are you saying it's better to link using the whole url even in the side menus??
