Facebook SEO – A Ranking Opportunity?
A little after noon today, Facebook announced on their blog that they will be allowing users to create facebook usernames to allow their friends, family, and co-workers to easily find their profiles on the social networking site.
According to the post, on Friday, June 12th at 9:01pm people will be able to create custom URLs directly to their Facebook page. For example, the current direct link to my page is http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=6801481, on June 12th I will be able to create a custom username for facebook. I will more than likely make my URL http://www.facebook.com/alex-becker/ or the like link directly to my Facebook profile. Here is an example of what users will see on June 12th when they login to FB:
