Google has been rolling out the availability of vanity urls for a little while now. One thing that was picked up by Search Engine Roundtable back in October was the terms. Google actually mentioned they may one day charge a fee.
TechWhack.co posted an article yesterday that included this tip:
If you have gotten yours, here is a cool tip. You do not need to use it with plus.google.com domain. You can use it with Google.com and even Google.me.
Google.me/+yourcustomurl definitely looks better!
The real donwfall of Google will start when Google start charging for custom domains. There are tens of thousands of people, if not hundred of thousands, who already left Google after it started charging for the custom email.New playes in the market have already spotted this and established their own platform for free custom email (domain custom email)
Think this will work with all the new TLDs that Google is going to have to defensively register? I want to put google.sexy/+MichaelBauser on a business card.
