This problem did not have anything to do with slurp but how the extremely long urls were truncated on the SERPs page.
Thanks, Tim

Thanks for your response slurp. I see that the URL in the example is fairly long but I am wondering if that explains the examples below. Your insite is greatly appreciated.

I just have a few questions that would help me better understand the problem or help your resolve the issue.

When you do a search on Yahoo for "California insurance coverage attorneys" you get a listing for a page name of the same length listed in the Top 10 and that URL works properly. Would the problem not occur on this listing as well.

Some of the really short page names are showing up with problems as well.

"california product liability lawyer" results in a listing for this page. http://www.insurance-bad-faith-lawye...bility-law.asp

Since Alta Vista switched their results over a few weeks ago we are seeing the same problem with page names as well. A search on AltaVista for "California insurance bad faith lawyers" results in a listing with a bad URL to http://www.insurance-bad-faith-lawye.../bad-faith.asp.

The domain name is 30 characters long. Is the length of the doain name too long? It was my understanding that domains up to 57 charaters are fine.

Thanks for your help.
