Simple URLs

A URL is a Uniform Resource Locator. That's another way of saying a web address.

URLs on a Web Page

If you are including a url in a web page, it is best to not put the url in the text.

For for information, visit http://www.jscc.edu/financial-aid/types-of-aid/scholarships.html

Instead, use a description of that page. It is eminently more readable and has semantic value to search engines.

URLs in Print/Radio

A long url can be problematic when used in a printed piece or when spoken. Sometimes our site has long urls. Any url on our site can be shortened. For instance:

http://www.jscc.edu/academics/divisions/allied-health/physical-therapist-assistant/

can be shortened to 

http://www.jscc.edu/pta

Send an e-mail to webmaster@jscc.edu with both the existing and new url. A simple rule can be put on the server to redirect traffic.
