I can’t see what difference it makes to them whether you have absolute or relative links.
On advantage of using
<a href="/resources/reallyusefulpage.html">link</a>
instead of
<a href="resources/reallyusefulpage.html">link</a>
is that if the page the link is on gets moved to another location on the files system - and you forget to link-check - the link will still be good to go. That's one small advantage, and I tend to use that even if it does add a few characters to the HTML sent to the client.
