Here is a piece of geeky good news for all of our facebook users in Ventura. This is especially good news for business owners in Ventura.
The website address or URL, is what you type in the address bar when you want to navigate to a website. For example one example of a URL is: http://www.facebook.com
Thats easy, but do you know what a vanity URL is? This article shares with you how you can get your easy vanity URL to market your business or share your personal profile more easily.
A vanity URL is a regular domain plus a username. An awesome example of a vanity URL is facebook.com/venturavalues this concept seems simple right? Most other social networks including MySpace & LinkedIn made Vanity URL's easily attainable, but it took Facebook until now.
Previous to June 09', facebook profiles & pages had very inconvenient & long URL's. Let me give you an example, now our business page vanity URL is facebook.com/venturavalues, and before our old regular URL was http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ventura-United-States/Ventura-Values-Network-Helping-Ventura-Thrive/58648417502.
As you could imagine, it was very hard to promote business pages to people outside of facebook with such a long URL. Verbally, we had to tell people..."ok, now go to h t t p colon, dash, dash...and on and on..." there is no way it would have worked.
That's history, now we have vanity URL's with Facebook.
You can have a vanity URL for your own personal profile or business pages.
Get yours in 2 simple steps.
1. Log into your facebook account
2. Go to http://www.facebook.com/username
Enjoy this tip & make it EASY for people to find you! |
Good News
