How To Create Your Own Short URL

How To Create Your Own Short URL

If you have a Facebook Fan Page, then you probably know that you need to have at least 100 fans if you want to have a vanity URL for your Fan Page. A vanity URL is a short link that will bring people to your fan page. If you don’t have at least 100 fans, you have to refer to your Fan Page with a long, unruly URL.

So what do you do if you don’t have 100 fans yet? You can create your own short URL that will lead to your Fan Page! Either one of these methods will work. The first one will re-direct from your own web site and will help you with branding. The second one is easier to do.

#1. Create a folder on your web site, and call it fbpage. Create a file in that folder, call it index.html

Now, inside the head of index.html file, use this code:

<meta HTTP-EQUIV=”REFRESH” content=”0; url=LINK TO YOUR FACE BOOK PAGE”>

Change LINK TO YOUR FACE BOOK PAGE to the actual link to your FB Fan Page. The above code tells the web site to send everyone who comes to your fbpage folder to the FB Fan Page.

Once you have this setup, just go to http://www.yourwebsite.com/fbpage and this address should send everyone to your FB Fan Page.

Here is an example of my page: http://www.avocadoconsulting.com/fbpage

 

#2. Another way to create a short URL to your Facebook Fan Page is by using a URL shortening service, such as tinyurl.com, is.gd or any other.

Here is an example of my short link: http://is.gd/1R9Zy

    Biana, these are very good tips. The long Facebook URL is a horrible line of code, so using either of these tricks descibed here can be a big help.

    The HTTP Refresh you mention is probably the fastest & easiest way to create a few redirects from your site. Note that default pages may vary from site to site and host to host. So if index.html does not work, try index.htm, or index.php.

    For those a bit more technically inclined, I recently posted a tutorial on how to create your own URL Shortener (for more than, say, a handful of links):
