Absolute or relative urls ?

Postby sumitkhare » Sat Jan 16, 2010 11:08 am

Between absolute and relative urls ? Which is better ?
I mean when linking internally... I only use absolute for 3 reasons:
If someone scraps me they have to change every link
The page URLs are always consistent..
Is this the only difference..and when is relative url used?

Thanks for advising

Hi Absolute and relative URL looks same to search engine so you can use any of them. However from development point of view both have different cons and prons. If you are not sure that you can change domain or directory then you should use relative and to point exact resource use absolute URL.

I would rather use copyscape to catch scrappers rather than hope for a link from thieves. It really makes little difference other than making coding easier.

In most cases, relative URLs are the way forward, which are portable in nature, which means that if you want to increase your site and put someone else in which she immediately went to work, potentially reducing hours of debugging.
