FB Page Vanity URL not Available

[ukgimp]

Hello

Anyone got any experience in getting a FB vanity url for a page that seems to be unavailable.

eg

fb,com/myurl.com

Surely only I should be able to have that, or are we talking trademark required?

Cheers

I'm not sure I understand the questions... what is a 'page that seems to be unavailable'? You mean someone else already has the name you want and now you want to take it from them by force, using a trademark, if need be, to make an intellectual claim?

I have a vanity url that I want that is my domains URL. Only my domain.

...and someone else is already using this FB Page name?  (How is it not available?)  Do you want to petition FB to get it back?

it just say "not available" but it is not in use.

for some reason you can't have a .com in the username even though you can have any other extenstion.... bug maybe?

thanks, that settles that. :-)

Right, you can have a '.' in there, but not a '.com', or else THAT would be the tld.

A domain name can't have a slash. There's no reason you can't have a .com in a URL after the slash

facebook.com.com  isn't valid unless you own com.com (which is CNET by the way)

facebook.com/google.net/yahoo.org/twitter.com is just fine and is a valid FB url.

its' frustrating as I have several domain.co.uk vanity urls.

Thanks

Well, spank my ass and call me Sally; I would have never guessed such a thing.
