- 53. How to personalize the link of a fan page
The personalization of the link is a step that any brand/company/public person should
do.
Personalization is actually the modification of the default Facebook link in a form like:
www.facebook.com/chosen-username.
For example, Cosmopolitan.ro had the following default link –
http://www.facebook.com/pages/wwwcosmopolitanro/54953292062?pu
b=2309869772 –
and after the personalization is like this:
http://www.facebook.com/cosmopolitan.romania.
