Hi guys,
For those of you who have a Facebook page but still don't have a vanity URL to it... then here is how to do it!
First off, visit your facebook page and look at the URL in the address bar.
If it reads something like
www.facebook.com/pages/pagename/
7456784454
Then you don't have a fancy url!!!
If you want people to be able to find you quickly, you want something like this:
www.facebook.com/yourpagename
---------------
In Order to get this.... make sure you are logged into facebook... and visit
http://www.facebook.com/username/
Next, if you have pages on facebook you'll see a drop down box where you can select the page you want to apply the new vainty url to.
Select the page... then type is a username for that page... for example with me... I wanted facebook.com/alexentertainment but it wasn't available so I put in AlexEntertainmentUK.
So now, clients can find me at facebook.com/alexentertainmentuk
PLEASE NOTE: Apparently you need a certain amount of "fans" and "likes" of your page before you can request a vanity URL... so make sure you get your friends, customers and family to like your page if you don't have enough yet
---------------
Hope this helps out some people... no doubt there will be posters who say "But whats the point??" The point being, you can have a short domain which can be used easily on advertising, it's quick to remember for clients and just looks good
Enjoy
