How to customize a Facebook link title and description
Have you ever attached a link that came with a whole bunch of garbage and a funny title that looks like nothing to do with the page it directs you to? Something that looks like this perhaps?
A very messy same Facebook link
Here’s how you can customize your link let your followers know exactly what they’ll find when they click on it.
* Start with a status update introducing your link.
* Attach a link like you normally would.
IMPORTANT: Don’t hit “share” button yet.
* First click on the link box:
link
* Then paste the url address and click attach:

* Now you are ready to customize your link box.
* Roll your cursor over the highlighted areas in the link box seen in the next sample. There are two areas you can customize: the link title and the link description.
* When an area is highlighted, click on it. You will then be able to type whatever you’d like to rename the link or description. Here I changed the link name to an instruction, “Get the MP3 download here.”

* When you are all done, click the share button.
Now you’ve taken a very messy link that is not specific to your followers, and told them exactly what they’ll find when they click on it. Simple.
