there's a problem am currently having on my blog(a blog)
and please I need your help, webmasters and those who are good in HTML.

the problem is;
on my blog when I post and add a link(external n internal) especially a download link the link changes when clicked and at the end won't work, as in it results to an error 404.


let me say I use this tag to put the link like this;


<a href="the url">the link</a>
when clicked 'the url' changes to somethinh like this:
http://myblogurl.com/year/month/the url

thereby making it a non existent url/link.


what am trying to say is; the url of my link is preceeded by the url of the current page.


and these has made my bounce rate to increase so high. the worst part is this problem is only found in most of the popular post on my blog, the post that recieves the highest google traffic.


So anyone who has a possible solution should please help me out.

webmaster n HTML gurus included.

I can explain more if you don't understand the problem.


thanks in advance

It would be nice if you post the link to your topics that has the broken links,
and I will like to ask again, does it happen to all links or selected links.

Confusing explanation, but I think I know what your problem is.

If the link sends you somewhere with the url of your current location attached to the front of the address, that's called a RELATIVE url. A relative url looks like

<a href="images/my_image.jpg">

If you are trying to specify a link in its entirety, you must use the full address, so the browser knows it's an ABSOLUTE url. It should look like

<a href="http://images.com/someones_image">

Don't forget the "http://".

Let me know if that isn't the problem.

that's the problem but I don't fully get your illustration.
ok here's actually the real one on my blog

this is the actual url:www47.zippyshare.com/d/27850825/57264/TempleRun-OZ-Armv6-APK-androalace.net.apk

but this is what it sends/loads:

http://www.legitstuffs.com/2014/08/www47.zippyshare.com/d/27850825/57264/TempleRun-OZ-Armv6-APK-androalace.net.apk

http://www.legitstuffs.com/2014/08/www47.zippyshare.com/d/27850825/57264/TempleRun-OZ-Armv6-APK-androalace.net.apk

you'll notice the outstrick, that's the addition am talking of, and this leads to a 404 error.

thanks for your reply
