Any potential benefit you may have by including keywords in the URL will be diluted since it's such a small percentage of the total URL text. Longer URLs are truncated by search engines, in web browsers, and many other areas. Visitors like to see clean, human-readable URLs since it makes them easy to read, remember, and type.
A long, unwieldy URL can be a usability issue. It could potentially also lead to lower click-through rates on the SERP.
Very long URLs are often a symptom of other issues, such as having too many parameters in the URL, which can lead to other problems. If using URL rewrites, consider truncating them at a maximum length. So you have a ten-page-long URL. Now what? As Russell W. Omitting the URL altogether, however, may not make it clear that the source you are citing appears online. The question is, How long is too long?
If the URL compromises the readability of your entry, then it is too long. Thus judgment is called for, since whether a URL hinders the readability of the works-cited-list entry will depend on the entry. The length of the entry is one factor: if a URL is several lines longer than the rest of the entry, it will run the show. The placement of the URL is another factor: a URL at the end of an entry generally makes the entry easier to read than does a URL that appears before optional information that is appended to the entry.
As a general guideline, a URL running more than three full lines is likely to interfere with the readability of the entry. In addition, sometimes file-specific information or a query string is appended:. If you need to shorten it further, retain the host, which will allow readers to evaluate the site and search for the source. To ensure that a URL is accurately reproduced, never introduce a hyphen or space in it. Professionally typeset publications in fixed formats, like print or PDF, normally follow rigorous conventions for breaking URLs.
Publishers vary in their practices. In its own professionally typeset publications, the MLA breaks URLs before a period and before or after any other punctuation or symbol e. We do not break URLs after a hyphen in such publications, to avoid ambiguity. Grooms, Russell W. Infolit , 6 Sept. One drawback is that shorteners obfuscate the information encoded in the URL, so writers should weigh the pros and cons of using them for each project.
Angela, the data contained inside of a URL is not encoded. It is all readable clear text that simply contains the directions to a pages server inside of the Internet. If readers are really worried about a sources credentials, they can just open up the shortened URL and survey the page for themselves. It is rude to only provide a shortened URL.
You can't tell where it is going, if it is safe for work, if it is going to pass your company firewall, and more. It is fine to provide a shortened URL if you are verbalizing something to a crowd, but any place where a mouse click will do all the work, you need to provide the final URL. By all means, provide the shortened one too, but only in addition to and not exclusively.
Also, shortened URL services have been known to go away. Many websites will outlive URL shortening services, and therefore pages that should be accessible are now broken. This didn't clarify anything for me. Can you provide a before-and-after of a super long URL that has been shortened in an acceptable way? By shortening, you at least know that the work was found online and know the vendor whose platform it was found on.
If shortening an overly lengthy URL means we should reduce it to the host, why did you include the ps at the end of this shortened URL? Because no Web page exists at go.
The shortest URL that takes one to a Web page is go. Thanks, Angela, for the helpful answer. I should have thought to test it myself. Reading the rest of your replies to these questions has been quite helpful! I don't see a pattern. Can you clarify when to use or not use a terminal slash?
Whether the terminal slash will break the link depends on how the URL is set up.
