          I would think most bots are smart enough to convert a relative url to an absolute one. If they can't, that SE is not worth bothering with.

              I think that this is a good question.
              I think the consensus among most is that absolute links are best.
              One reason for this is that it makes it harder for others hijacking your site by completely copying it.
              I unfortunately use relative links cos I am lazy.
              Here is some thoughts from a seo guy worth reading.
