This is actually the more important part of good white-hat SEO that often gets mis-translated by some people into "always use absolute URLs". Having absolute URLs (with http://www.foo.com/...) has a similar effect to redirecting all connections to foo.com to www.foo.com *first* and then using relative URLs. The idea is to avoid the appearance that the same site appears under two different host names (it looks spammy). Be sure to use 301 (permanent redirect) and not 302, otherwise some search engines won't transfer the "credit" or relationship/term attributes to the canonical location for incoming links that use the non-canonical URL. -- Kyle. www.kylev.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
