Before sharing or posting any of your Affiliate Link on Facebook, you first need to debug it. Because if you don’t, the featured image in your post will not show up. Without a featured image, your post will not stand out and will surely fail to attract many people to click your post.
Here’s how you debug your Affiliate Link:
Debugging Your Affiliate Link
- Go to Facebook Sharing Debugger at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing.
- In the form field, paste your Affiliate Link. You do this by right-click and choosing “Paste“.
- Scroll page to the right to find and click the “Debug” button
- Click the “Fetch new information” button, and it should show the featured image when you scroll down the page.
- Is the featured image not showing? Don’t worry, just click the “Scrape Again” button.
