LinkingLinking on Facebook is a very common practice and a wonderful way to share information. If you take a look to the right, however, you will notice that you do not see the URL you only see a clickable link on both the regular link and video. This is how you can clean up these types of posts.

How To Link4. Please note: Facebook
EdgeRank presently favors visual posts. When looking to share a link it is, when applicable, good to provide an image and a link. The image will help increase the chance of a post show in a user’s Newsfeed and in this case we provide link for a user to click. Also note: on Facebook’s mobile platform, the link in this post is not always easy for the user to reach.
