Facebook Fan Pages

[BetterTAX]

we have a facebook page ( i set it up as a "personal" page first, rather than business page, cos i didnt know, doh!) and then set up the fanpage.

i've done various things to obtain fans (joined groups and then got the people there to be my friend etc!). we have over the 100 now, so how do i go about getting a vanity URL? i cant see instructions anywhere.

thanks )

If you go to Log in | Facebook you can set a vanity URL for your Page and your personal profile if you want to do that too.

Good luck and if you need anything further I'm happy to help.

[BetterTAX]

oh, it seems like i do already have it set up!

dammit though, i wish i'd seen this thread before, cos although its the company name, its obviously not SEO'd enough... can i change it?

Hello all

Some of you may know me others may not... not been around this way for a while

I've "liked" (still can't get used to it) all your pages and hope you will "like " mine too! Just search The Internet Marketing VA on Facebook. (Need to freshen up on the rules of UKBL, can't remember if I can post links or not!)

You could always become a full member

As far as facebook is concerned - I followed the link from jonnop and found I already had a vanity url as well - Ray Stewart | Facebook

Damn, wish I found this thread earlier. I take it you cannot change a page name on FB unless you delete and start again?

Only just started really --> http://www.facebook.com/pages/Devilt...20041268040817

[AdamW]

Nope you're stuck with it .. however when you get to a certain number of fans you can get a vanity url for it. Can't remember how many

[DB9]

Thanks, its just having that all important keyword in your page name aswell, as I have just started I may just ditch the current one and start again.

I take it if you delete a page and then create a new one the URL for the pages changes as well?

[AdamW]

Would have thought so.

[DB9]

Thanks Adam, will delete and start again next week.

[Katie]

I think you need to get 25 followers. Not 100% sure though as we are not quite there yet.

[Katie]

DB9 - unfortunately Adam is right, deleting the page is the only option. I had to do it a few times :-)

Sounds about right - and snap! On 14 ... 11 to go

[jonnop]

I can confirm...25 likes/fans before you can have a vanity URL. You can then create one here:

I'll scroll through and take a look at all the pages to join!

We always welcome new 'fans' to our page and you can find us here. Please pop by and say hello!

[AdamW]

Must do a Sarah and go through - think I've missed quite a few of these And I would of course love to get to 25 fans (if you are a fan that is!)
