Get rid of it!
Clear communication is easiest when you have a high-signal-to-noise ratio; your signature is noise.
Caveat: if you are certain the person you are emailing actually needs it.
If in doubt, link to your company's page: contact
Or, link to your professional profile.
If inadequate, create and link to a private hcard or text file.
This is best done via a service like Dropbox or Google drive's share via private link feature and coupled with a custom URL shortener.
If you must use a URL, ensure it is small but obvious
linkedin.com/in/jhfuller vs tinyurl.com/ljhtn7o
