Is it best to have <a href="www.yoursite.com/index.htm"> or <a href="index.htm"> in the body of your HTML? Does it make a difference to rankings? Does it make it harder for search engine spiders to access them?

Thanks JP

In my opinion, I dont believe it really makes any difference to the search engines. Its actually more for the user.

I have found that when I use a href="www.yoursite.com/index.htm"> for my links within my own website, loading time seems to take longer.

So having <a href="index.htm"> its a little bit better, and actually better because you dont have to worry about constantly re-typing your domain name.

I would stick with the short version.
