Deep link
Term used to describe a link pointing to any section of a web page that is not the home page. For example, if someone was to link to this dictionary definition web page instead of linking to Computer Hope's main page, that would be considered a deep link.
Some companies or individuals request or prohibit a user from creating deep links to their web page because they believe a user may be confused by who is providing the information or because it cuts the amount of advertising displayed to the visitor while they are visiting a site.
- Computer Hope welcomes any links to its web page, even deep links. Examples of how to link to Computer Hope.
