Is it correct to put a colon (:) before a website address? - Hodge - 02-19-2014 12:32 PM
For example, "...create awareness and a fan base for the product using social media. Start by getting likes for the product's fan page: https://www.facebook.com/example"
You can see that just before giving the website I added a colon; is this a correct use of punctuation?

Colons are to be used after sentences or independent clauses.
If the URL (which is grammatically a proper name) is part of the sentence, a colon shouldn't be there.

No its use is incorrect.
