    Remove common words like the, a, to, is, etc.

    It should be example-about-long-filename.html

    Use only keywords, try to limit it to about 4 to 5 dashes. There is no "proof" of a filename being to long, but theory stands that it looks spammy and will not get as much weight in search engine indexes.
