Clearly I hadn't done my homework yesterday when I posted a status update on my Linked-In profile with www.geektastic.com embedded in the message. Which, coming from someone who used to run a 'Social / Real Money Casino on Facebook' is pretty embarrassing. As you can see the image is broken, the title was incorrect and the description was missing completely. Had I done my research I would have realised that our website needed three Open Graph tags in the code. I have added them below so you don't make the same mistake I did.
og:title - A title to describe the page or the content - should be less than 88 characters and should be attention grabbing as it comes up bold. og:image - The left hand side image. We opted for a logo for brand awareness (it was a toss up between brand awareness and click through - at this point, since we are still in our infancy, we wanted to generate awareness of Geektastic through our Logo) although we should really test different images (such as people) for different click through rates at some point soon. og:description - A more detailed description of your content. This will be seen in smaller text and not bold so you can get away with a deeper description. This is what the post should have looked like before I pushed the 'share' button now we have updated all the tags. Just got to make sure we use these tags on our blog now! Live and learn.
