Bottom of page links: page.htm or http://www...

Which is better for SEO?
Thanks

Use absolute URLs (http://www.site.com/page.html)

 

I second that. Also, make sure you use the complete URL 'http://www' and not just 'www' or just 'http://' without the 'www' on the end of it.

 

use .htaccess to redirect one to another, say all non-www to www urls. Also get rid of canonicalization of this_is_url and this_is_url/

 

Make sure you use same url every time. Do not change and not have the www in url it can lower rank because it looks like 2 pages instead of one

 

Thanks guys - then absolute url's it will be at bottom of pages.
Currently my menu url's are all 'page.htm' format - should I make them absolute url's as well? Most sites incl. web design sites seem to use just the 'page.htm' format.
Thanks.

 

I suggest you make them absolute too.
