Do search engines know the difference between absolute and relative links?
From what I understand, inbound links have the potential to increase your search engine ranking. What about internal (relative) links within your own website, for example Wikipedia has a gazillion relative links between their articles. Does this help Wikipedia get ranked higher?

All search engines first change the URLs to absolute before storing them into their database for ranking factors. Both abolute and relative works fine.
