Internet Marketing

A get a lot of people asking where they go to setup their Facebook Permalink or as FB calls it: username. Here is the link that you can hit once you are logged in:

http://www.facebook.com/username/

Be careful in choosing the name as you can only release and change it once. This is a great way to promote your business or personal profile to friends and fans. As Google and the other engines continue to crawl and index the entire Facebook community this makes it easier to connect your social profiles with your name and business.

If you ever want to change your username, you have to go to your account settings page at:
Facebook Edit Account Settings

It is available in the account drop down menu on the top right navigation bar. Remember it can only be changed one time and it is the ‘username’ that you will want to edit.

Here is another Facebook SEO tweak that you can apply to your profile to cross link your sites to show the engines that they are related to one another. Go to your profile page, click the info tab, scroll down to contact section and click edit and you can fill in your website URL(s) there.

Another great tool that Facebook allows you to do is create a profile badge or widget to embed on your website to increase your fans. The Facebook widget page can be found at:
