    Hi-

    What is better to use in navigational links of a website?

    Is it full url or pointing to the file names ?

    For eg,

    Home ( URL : http://www.blah.com)
    Services ( URL : http://www.blah.com/services.htm)

    or

    Home ( URL : index.htm)
    Services ( URL : services.htm)

    Which is better in SEO point of view ? :)

    I dont think this matters much. I guess the user / webmaster friendliness is more important than the seo changes.

    Thanks dirkjan & webcertain.

    btw, I have another question.
    Does its better to use /services/services.htm than simply services.htm ? ( SEO wise ?)

    I personally think its always better to have the shorter url (shorter path). Any SEO benefit of having an additional keyword will be lost.

    If there was a positive benefit to /service/service.htm , why not /service/service/service/service/service/service/service/service/service/service/service/service/service/service.htm ?
