Sitemap configuration

Will google look at it has a Farmlink?

[Barraca]

Hello all, I am new here, actualy this is my first post, and will like to say hello to all of you,I am a new Spanish user of WebmasterWorld and I will hopefully be using this service for a very long time.

Well, let's start, I have a big site that I am developing.
The site will have more than 50.000 internal pages, and I will like google to index them all of them (google doesn't got a limit/day or site?, nopes?).

I have read in the officials google webmasters guides that sitemaps shouldn't have more than 100 links/page, so I will have to create subpages and more subpages...

My question is what should I use? relative links.
/directory/file.php
or full url's?
[mydomain.com...]

Which is best, and if I use the full url will google think that is an external website (or an external outgoing link?), or he will know that it is in my website? (Internal Link).

With all this internal pages (about 50.000), my PR should be higher than a page that hasn't got so many internal pages?

Thank you very much, and sorry for the english grammar mistakes.

Welcome to Webmaster World Barraca

I use absolute URL (full) I find this way works best for me but as always there are two opinions and others will disagree

If you choose absolute then you site can only be link checked if its online where as relative can be checked off line

If you have directories 2 -3 levels down you start to get ../../../filename.html

Hope this helps

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Barraca! :)

Google can follow either absolute or relative links without problems. If you have keywords in your domain name, absolute links may offer some advantage on some SEs.

Assuming you don't incorporate subdomains into your site, the domain name in an absolute address will indicate that these are all "internal links." (PR=Page Rank so I'm not certain internal vs external links makes any difference to Google, it's not "Site Rank".)

If your linking structure is well designed and easy to spider, the sheer size of the site should enable you to develop a fairly high PR for many of the more prominent pages.

A site this size is usually database generated. If yours is too, the most important thing to consider is making SE friendly URLs by avoiding or rewriting lengthy query strings.
