What's a URL?

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the technical term for a web address. As an example, here's one you've probably seen before:

http://www.google.com/

A URL, like a street address, points to a specific place. Since it's a web address, it points to a web page rather than a physical location. In most web browsers, the address bar shows the URL of the page you're currently viewing. The address bar is usually near the top of the browser's window.
