"I'm loathe to use the full url for images and internal html pages for two reasons:

1) Code bloat.

2) My (NFP) domain name is also a key word phrase and if the SE count the markup in their keyword density I'd be bound to trip their filters."

I thought reason one went the way of the DoDo bird given that a lot of sites that are out there, even the simple ones tip the scales at support files out weighing markup, frequently by many times. One with 131KB markup and 1.6MB scripts and images comes to mind .

Happy to meet you Angonasec, I didn't know that other folks who care about such matters still existed.

I suppose reason 2 might apply if the search engines were totally brain damaged or if you have errors that cause the links to appear as actual content. Many thousands of pages latter I haven't seen any evidence of that.
