Facebook has finally launched one of the functions that has much requested by users: the ability to convert a profile account into a business Page thus making friends turn into Likes.

Facebook has in fact made ​​available the ability to convert user’s personal pages to professional Pages, with the new profile-page Migration Tool. So this is the answer all the hundreds of pages that were created to incentives others to transfer the “friends” to potential “fan” without having to start the new page with a small number of “Likes.”

Many friends are currently being transferred to the new page’s Friends (converted to Likes) and the images in the profile remains the same. The contents of the profile will not be transferred, Facebook has not yet made ​​its announcement but could later provide the choice of which content a user could choose to transfer to the new public page. If you were are planning to convert your profile page, then you should wait, make a backup of your profile so be sure not to miss any information.

To migrate a profile http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php?migrate (do not convert a profile for fun or for testing, there is no turning back once the procedures started)

Today we continue with Tricks for Facebook Pages. This post should be of great interest to current administrators of pages, webmasters or whoever wants to become one. Everyday on Facebook thousands of pages are created, some are growing rapidly, some have only a few members, but others have only created confusion.

Have you ever found two pages with the same name? It is rare. From February 1, for example, Facebook has stopped pages for applications and now requires the owners of these applications to create pages and migrate all the fans. As a result Page duplicates were created with the same subject.

Another case is that causing issues are the function places. When you check in to a new place on Facebook, you create a special page for that site unless the page for that location, commercial city, and brand already existed. This check-in then creates a duplicate page and ultimately creates confusion.

Few know that on Facebook you can merge two pages that have the same name. This merger also migrates the likes over to the selected page. Follow these instructions.

Once you start the migration process, as contained in the window, status updates, photos, videos and notes on the page will be deleted. The Page with less Likes will be permanently deleted, but Likes will be migrated on to the page that you have chosen to keep.

Finally, we need to point out that the process is not immediate, depending on the number of Likes migrating may take a few hours. (One of our tests with the migration of 2000 users, took several hours but everything went smoothly).
