Should a title tag and the URL be a 100 percent match?

[KimCalvert]

My understanding is that a URL should be as short as possible and also match the title tag, but in order to keep the URL shorter, can you abbreviate it?

For example:

Title Tag: Eat Your Way to Beauty with Superfoods

URL: websitename.com/sbeauty-with-superfoods

It is quite common to shorten URLs by taken common words out of them.  Remember also that URLs appear in search results too, so having something that looks helpful and makes people want to click is an advantage in itself.  Which looks more like a quality resource to you?

websitename.com/eat-you-way-to-beauty-with-superfoods

or

websitename.com/beautywithsuperfoods

Thanks Mat!
