URL
Definition
Location of a resource on the Internet.
Information
A URL, short for universal resource locator, includes the protocol
(ex. HTTP, FTP), the domain name (or IP address), and additional path
information (folder/file). On the Web, a URL may address a Web page file, image file, or any other
file supported by the HTTP protocol.
URLs are often important to marketers in that they are part of the
phrase "Add URL", the process of submitting a site or page to
another site, usually a search engine or directory.
An example URL:
http://www.marketingterms.com/dictionary/url/
