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. http://www.searchengineworld.com/new...3/absolute.htm |
