Have you ever linked a website on a Facebook post, only to find the image Facebook puts next to it is odd, or just wrong? Maybe you've seen your website linked on Facebook pages with an image that doesn't make sense.
When a site is linked on a Facebook post, it searches the page for available images. Often, those posting will just use the first one, or Facebook just can't find any appropriate images.
But, with one simple line of code, you can tell Facebook exactly which image you want to use. Here's how:
- First create an image that you want to use to represent your site on Facebook links. It may be your logo or some other representative image. Upload this image to your webserver.
- Next add code like this to your webpage or template (replace the image name with the image you created in the first step) somewhere between the <head> and </head> tags.
<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.yoururl.com/facebook.jpg" />
That's it! Now whenever anyone links your site on Facebook, it will use the image you want.
