That works for me, but it's good practice to avoid long URLs if
possible. In some cases they get broken in transit. One person may have
no trouble, while someone else complains the link is broken. I've seen
that happen many times in discussion groups.

Google search result URLs can be really bad, with all sorts of
unnecessary stuff like the keywords from the search. By simply trimming
the tail off the above URL, we get

http://books.google.com/books?id=Xi3A8_DCvAcC&pg=PA273

The book ID and page number are all you need.

eBay URLs can usually be trimmed in a similar fashion. Item number alone
is enough.
