Sometimes, the LaTeX style files provided by the publisher does things that are not desirable. One of the big hassles is the URL in the bibliography portion. For example, the Elsevier bst file does it. I used to just go into my BiBTeX files and remove all the URL fields (that were automatically included when I exported from websites such as citeUlike)
\bibliographystyle{elsart-harv}

But there's a better solution. It is to modify the bst file directly.
Open the corresponding bst file (in my case elsart-harv.bst), and look for the following function.

FUNCTION {write.url}
{ url empty$
{ skip$ }
{ "\newline\urlprefix\url{" url * "}" * write$ newline$ }
{ "" }
{ "" }
if$
}

This is where the URL is being output. Change this to

FUNCTION {write.url}
{ url empty$
{ "" }
{ "" }
if$
}

and you are done!
Make sure to clean the aux files and rerun BiBTeX and LaTeX.
