Hello friends,

How are active links different from normal links?

Hi Friends,
An active text or graphic link on a Web page. Clicking the link redirects the user to another Web page or a document or image. Live links are also placed into email, allowing recipients of the message to immediately go to a website or open an attached document or image.

The default color for normal and active links is blue. Some browsers recognize an active link when the mouse cursor is placed over that link; Others recognize active links when the link has the focus. Those that don't have a mouse cursor over that link is considered a normal link.

Active links are the link that are built from active webpages for ranking keywords higher in search engines.
