You should be able to pick a vanity URL if you go into your basic information settings and go to Username. I would call it something that is descriptive of your business but as short as you can get. /Weight-Loss or /WeightLoss or something like that.
I would also recommend adding a cover photo.https://www.facebook.com/help/search/?q=cover+photo

hi this is one of my facebook page that i have done a while back http://www.facebook.com/pages/Weight-Loss/120509311333479 i have over 300 likes, does this mean i can have a vanity url and if so what should i call it and what could i do to improve the page.

thanks for all the info. Will start making a page.

You need 25 likes to change your vanity URL. Make sure you use the one you want because once you pick it you can't change it.
You also don't need to log out of your own Facebook to create a business page. You can create one that will be attached to your personal account and you can switch back and forth between the two. If you go to any business page (such as that Huffington Post page) there is a button in the top right area that says create a page and you can just follow directions from there.

One of the answers on this thread may help you too. http://www.seomoz.org/q/has-anyone-used-facebook-to-promote-their-website

You need a certain number of likes, I believe currently 100, to claim a vanity URL like the HuffPo has. And now you must pay to reach all of your page fans, only the most engaged will see your updates without paying facebook. However as mentioned by Collin creating the page itself is free.

Anyone can make Facebook business pages, and they are free of charge. If you log out of Facebook and look at the bottom of the page, there's a small link that says "Create a Page." You can click on that to get started. Good luck!

How to optimize pages in other languages
How to optimize pages in other languages, we have some pages in other languages, such as Italian Spanish French Portuguese. But our budget is limited, and we are not very good at so many languages. How can we achieve better results with only a few pages? Does a link in English work?

I work on a uk decorating website with five of our own bloggers all of which reside on the home page of the website on their own separete blogging urls as sub domains - is this a good idea or would google not like this from an seo point of view?
Should blogs that are part of an overall content site be on separate sites and link in or is it ok to promote them as content on the home page of the site and take users off to their own url to view the site. Is this good practise for seo?

How to optimize content pages with ecommerce?
Some content pages act as buyers guides for certain products for example Used Paddle Boards for Sale - http://www.islesurfboards.com/used-paddle-boards-for-sale.aspx this is a content page that gets huge amount of traffic and is pure content with no products on the page, but we also have a ecommerce section of the site that is Used Paddle Boards for Sale -http://www.islesurfboards.com/buy-used-paddle-boards-for-sale.aspx however this page just has a small paragraph and all the ecommerce product related to this section on the page. The content only page above gets all the traffic and rank and then they click over to the actual ecomm section wiht the products from a link on that page. Should i merge these two together so its just one page and put the content on the ecom page? If i do all the content with push the ecommerce products down which is not good so what does anyone recommend as a best practice? Also will this mess up the content pages rank is i merge them assuming i redirect? or Keep them seperate like i have with a content page regarding "used paddle boards for sale" and an ecommerce page that sells acutal "used paddle boards for sale"

Page Content?
So I have review pages for websites on my site, each website has a review around 400-500 words. Recently I had my writers write 2 additional articles on each site but about something they have there. My thinking was interlinking them allowing them to rank individually etc. However now after looking around etc.. I see that content that is upwards of 1000 words or more might be more powerful and the way this is all written etc.. I could easily put it all on one page.... So my question is do I go with 3 pages or 1 page. I can see strength in both

Correction Duplicate Page Title Problems for a Blog
EDITED: To just focus on the issue at hand. I am trying to figure out the SEO rules instead of just working on the content. Please bear with me. I am adept technically. I just do not know the rules of the SEO process or even some of the termology. So I’m trying to attack problems one at time. Today’s problem – **Duplicate Page Titles ** We evidently have thousands of Duplicate Page Titles. We are using Joomla 2.5 & Easyblog. Our sitemap is automated from XML Sitemap Easyblog takes the title of the sites and uses it for a name of the summary pages. We post 5 blog items per page and all the names are the same. http://www.OursiteName.com/?start=5 Page Title = Site Name http://www.OursiteName.com/?start=10 Page Title = Site Name A similar thing happens on the sorting by Author or Category etc etc. Basically non-duplicate pages are looking like duplicates. What is the best practice / approach? Using the Robot.txt or XML Sitemap to tell Google not to crawl these pages? Writing a script or edit the Easyblog code to edit the 2000 duplicate Page Titles? Other thoughts?
