    Arrow Maximum character count for the URL

    Hi, I did some SEO on one of the site, which made the URL seem a bit lengthy due to the key-words conversion.

    i.e. http://www.calpolyonline.com/forums/...dult-3095.html

    Is this too long and could give the search engines (Google, Yahoo, and MSN) a second look at my site and possibility of putting a red flag?
    A link would be helpful, thank you in advance.

    Its not too long, but any longer would really be pushing it I think.

    I did posts on several forum. I did manage to get the answer I needed from only one site though.
    (128 character is the safe limit)
