a better alternative to Google Plus custom URL




Until google allow's us to choose a better URL for our Google Plus page there will always be a problem,
They call it a custom URL but you will never be able to change the default one to your choice, instead you will be asked to enter some characters.

Personally, I've got many problems with them, the most recent one is for this blog you are currently reading. I created this blog using a different name so the Google Plus page also beared the same name. So after re-branding to this current name,  I also changed my page name to the new name.  When it was time to get a custom URL for my page, I noticed that it was still in the old name,  and there is no way I can change it.
You should know that the default URL is always very lengthy and to complicated to even remember or tell someone about, usually something like this, ( https://plus.google.com/116312136656195743385 ) I decided not to change it, rather I searched for an alternative. I found out that using a URL shortner service like,  goo.gl bit.ly and so on will be even better and easier to tell your fans and other people about it.
I just registered an account with http://goo.gl , copied my page URL and shortened it, after that,  I renamed it to something like http://goo.gl/geeknify so if somebody visit the link, It will redirect to my page. as you can see it's still better and also easier to remember. Atleast for a while.

I think I've made a little sense with my tutorial. If you find yourself where I was,  you should consider the tutorial and wait to see if google will change their mind.
If you have a WordPress blog, you can even get a redirect to your page with your custom domain. E.G http://geeknify.com/googlepage So if someone click it, it will redirect to your Google Plus page.

If you have any Question, you are free to ask. We will give you a reply as soon as possible.
