Vanity URLs are great to have, as they are far more easier to remember and comprehend compared to the originally cryptic looking urls on Facebook. Having a Vanity URL has a lot of business sense, because these urls are easier to share on social media sites, email signatures etc.
The ordinary facebook fanpage url would look something like the url below:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Startup-Meme/194511566858?ref=ts
However, with a vanity url – you can point to the same url with a much simpler and easier url, such as:
http://www.facebook.com/StartupMeme
Facebook now allows users to claim vanity urls for their personal profiles. However, this is not unique to the profiles, businesses could have Vanity URLs for their facebook fan pages as well. Previously facebook imposed a limit on which fan pages could have the url. The fan pages with a minimum of 1000 fans were allowed to have a vanity url as a medal of achievement. However now this limit has been lowered to 25 fans.
With the recent change in fan requirements, getting a vanity url for your fan page has become very easy. I couldn’t imagine a business or person that can not amass a following of 25 people.
In order to get a Vanity URL just go to Facebook username page and click on set username for your Fan page. You would have to select the specific fan page from a drop down menu, in case you have created more than one Fan page. Once that’s done, you can simply punch in the url of your choice. If the URL is available you would get it right away, else you would have to modify your choice a little to find an available url.
That’s all there is to it, enjoy sharing your new Vanity URL on social sites and with friends and family.
Thanks for the info! cheers Ted
