Is it more beneficial to have internal links without the full file path?

When linking internally in my site is it more beneficial to have links written like,

Fast Blenders

OR

Fast Blenders

I always prefer the full path. If you do anything fancy with your site, now or in the future like rewrites, then full path is better.

Just get into the habit of doing it : )

Personally I am 100% for full path.

The reason why:

• it avoids broken links seen only by spider.

• you have more control over it when doing a general overview of the site structure

• like Rich said you can work better with your side on a later day if you do fancy things

• no matter how deep a file is you can see that from within the source file.

Advantages for the short version are only during development - at least this is how I see it.

And if you're scraped, the links still point back at your site.
