      Hi,

      For crawlability, what would be the best way to do internal linking.

      /aboutus.html

      or

      www.xyz.com/aboutus.com

      Would this make any difference to the website in terms of SEO or bot crawling the website?

      Regards,

      Sree

        Personally I would go fully qualified links ie xyz.com/blah.html.

        Yoast has a good post here about the subject - https://yoast.com/relative-urls-issues/

        Also on MOZ http://moz.com/learn/seo/internal-link
