    Question Maximum word 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. Announcements: Community Adult CPR/First Aid Class Offered - CalPolyOnline.com

    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.

    128 is the "limit" that should be maintained. It's not enforced by any means, but its a good rul to live by.
