Jim, If you don't want advice, don't ask. If you ask, don't get snippy about the answers you receive.
Google and other indexing robots are perfectly capable of inferring the full URL from a relative URL. I may be wrong, but I think it's significantly harder to "game" your Google placement than turning all of your relative URLs into absolute ones. No doubt you can find articles and hire consultants who will recommend this, and other dodgy tactics, that may have worked for a week or two in the distant past. If you still want to tell me that I'm being a jerk for not giving you the answer to the question as you phrased it, you might want to read http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2006/02/27/perpetual_motion_apache/ starting with the part: 'why we may seem unhelpful when a question comes across as "help me shoot myself in the foot".' - George > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 5:12 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: html:link, etc, looking for full url, not just > context name > > > Its not my day .... > > No I do not believe I ever mentioned robots reading the site. > Please stay on the topic.
