What type of link is better?

http://www or /features.htm

Does it matter on a page if it's a hyper link (http://domain.com/features.htm) or a link like (/features.htm)

bots could follow both, but I read somewhere PR isn't passed through the later one...

relative URLs:

make it much easier to move the site to another domain.

ditto to maintain your complete mirror running on your local computer for testing and R&D. (Alternatives involve an uploader that edits the URLs as it uploads)

make your pages a little shorter

absolute URLs:

are harder to 320 hijack

always work even if someone has saved the page and is looking at a local copy

Personally, I always use absolute URLs. There is less to go wrong, and even the dumbest spider can't make a mistake with them. And I have an intelligent uploader.

But in terms of Google PR (don't know about the equivalent for other search engines), it makes no difference.

Thanks for that, I knew you can't trust everything you read :)
