Facebook is number one social site in the history and currently also. It alone has billions of users crawling through it's wall in each second. So, as a blogger we must understand that facebook has great potentiality to get thousands of unique visitors. Many people have got unique visitors from facebook by the help of the pages they create.
Now let's come to this fact about link sharing. You might have noticed that when ever you share a link in your page or on your wall in facebook then a thumbnail appears if there is any. Moreover if you share a link it surely do try to retrieve some but not all. So, if the picture is not fit then what would you do? The only solution for it is to insert a custom thumbnail on facebook link sharing.
According to the number one social site, i.e facebook, it retrieves the image containing the tag rel="image_src" in the header section. Be sure that if any of your image contains this tag then it would 100% pop out while sharing the link. Let us see the below example. If you want to have your special image to be seen while pasting the link then I should add the below code just below <head> tag or above </head> as these tags indicate the starting and ending of the header section.
I added it in the header section of my blog and it worked absolutely. Now, whenever a link of Blogger Smasher is shared, the logo of my blog appears. See a preview of my sharing below;
I hope all of you guys will also succeed in this tutorial. This trick works fine but if there are any issues I would like you guys to comment OK!
Happy Blogging!!
