I’d say this infographic from Neomobile was almost perfect.
But I wouldn’t recommend always placing your links at the end of the tweet as that’s the first bit that’ll get cut off if people do an old style retweet or append copy to the start of a reply. It’s safer to put your links in the middle of the tweet—even if that may look a bit ugly—so the integrity of the link is never compromised.
After all, a tweet with a broken link is no use to anyone.
So, on balance, I think I’d recommend this sort of structure:
(CTA = call to action)
What do you think?
Here’s Neomobile’s recommendation for comparison:

Thanks for sharing our infographic Allister! We agree completely with your consideration, that links could also be placed also in the middle of the tweet, especially if the tweet is long. Thanks again and cheers!
I never thought of placing the link in the middle of a Tweet… I will have to put that into use! Have you noticed any engagement improvements in creating Tweets this way?
