You have to get a certain number of people who are fans of or like your page before you will have the option to get rid of the extra characters added to the url of your business page.

I believe the number is 25. Like many of the other people have mentioned, my page definitely exists but it seems the only way to get there is to post a link on my website.

Until I reach the magic number to qualify me to shorten the url, the search function seems pointless.

Karen,
I went on to Facebook to see if I could find Karens Mountain Biking Holidays. I could not find the page which leads me to believe that by changing the page user name and leaving off the name Karens, it is no longer searchable that way. I did, however, find a page for Mountain Biking and Holidays.

Hi Erin – Could you give me a little advise, the name of my facebook page is something like Karens Mountain Biking Holidays and the current URL something similar with extra stuff, if I just changed my page user name to my company name Karens would I still be found in searches in FB for mountain biking ?

site survey — where did you read that once your traffic got to a certain point you had to own a business to prove it’s yours?

I run several fan pages for businesses I don’t own and I’ve never read what you mentioned.

The original point of fan pages was to advertise a service or buissness. Once your traffic grows to a certain point you have to actually own a buissness and prove its yours to keep it.

This has not happened to me and I loaded it several times. I have no idea why that is happening on your end but the issue sounds more specific to a Facebook error versus a FBML coding problem which is what this article is about.
