hi

asp.net 3.5

I wonder if I should use absolute url in internal linking on my site. The
goal is that I want my site to move up on the rankings.
When I hover over internal links on my site I see the absolute URL in the
statusbar (IE8), but when I view the source code the absolute URL is nowhere
to be seen. I specify URL like this ~/Default.aspx

what you suggest when the goal is to move up in the rankings?

No, you shouldn't, for the simple reason that the search engine does
the same as IE's status bar. It recognizes relative/absolute URLs and
does conversion when necessary.
