Long links

Hi i have a site www.quantifyimage.com i want to make a link to an aritikel where the writer used our tool Quantify Image. But it seems that the link is too long. Is there a limitation in the lenght of the link?

Here is the link:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6WFG-4P0KP4F-3&_user=10&_coverDate=09/30/2007&_alid=1520388960&_rdoc=2&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_origin=search&_zone=rslt_list_item&_cdi=6794&_sort=r&_st=13&_docanchor=&view=c&_ct=11&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=e1480cc8bfeaaca411164d4e3a5e5181&searchtype=a

Re: Long links

Urls in the Links feature have a maximum length of 255 characters.

Really it looks like you could remove some of the query string params in this url such as &_user &_origin &_zone and possibly others and that url will probably still work, a lot of that is just user tracking or analytics tracking parameters.

If all else fails you could use an url shortener like Google Url Shortener to make a shorter url.

Hope it helps,

Joe
