Wordpress / Full URL In Menu Box

[InfinityTechnologySolutions]

I came across an article online (not Moz) that says adding the full url in a menu is a Google standard.  So when you make a menu link you put "www.example.com/page" instead of "/page". What are your thoughts on this? Any real reason to?

I've seen a quote from Matt Cutts suggesting absolute (full) URLs, but that quote is from 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure that no longer applies.

Absolute or relative URLs are 100% fine for SEO. Full URLs may offer a small benefit in that content scrapers may end up linking to your site if they steal your content.

I agree with Adam, the reason why I would recommend adding full URLs in the internal links is because if some other blog reshare (if not steal) your content and put it up on their own blog, the links (if not full URLs) will be broken.

Adding full URLs will allow new audience to reach out to you without a problem.

Hope this helps!
