Hi i've read in so many Seo-Forums, Blogs and so on about the length of URLs and everybody have a different opinion about...
So now i would know what you think about it?
Does the length of URL affect the Ranking in SERP?
And how much do URL-length affect the results, compared to all the other "SEO-things" like Content, Meta-tags, friendly URls and so on.....

regards, Christian

Don't know if it affects it.
But a short url is definatly better for lots of reason.
Easier to remember, less chances on spelling mistakes (if people type it in their address bar), ...
But got no idea if it affects rankings though.
My guess would be that it doesn't affect it.

Well, this thing is now getting some flame all over that to hv or not to have long URLs.
I think long urls for certain level is ok but extra long looks like spam ..

The general rule about URLs is to keep them short; not longer than 72 characters.

Think of url length like keyword density for anchor text.

Http 1.0 I think support ~200 characters in URL and Http 1.1 supports ~2000 in URL ..
I suggest that be in limit of Http 1.0
Long url does not clearly harm untill they are not extra long !!
