Welcome to the Open Graph @aaronfriedman 28

It’s the difference between Well Optimized And WUT?!?! @aaronfriedman 29

Let’s look at that closer HOLY S#!T… Is That the Triforce?!?!? @aaronfriedman 30

The Good This Image comes directly from the post Description clearly explains what the article is Title is exactly what I wanted to about, and it speaks to my audience, people I it be & not truncated am connected to. @aaronfriedman 31

The Bad (Not Optimized) This is John Bell, Global Managing Director at Social@Ogilvy. Not Brian Solis Truncated Description has nothing do to with the article. @aaronfriedman 32

The Ugly (How Posts Look) No Image Not Utilizing Character lengths Non informative Description @aaronfriedman 33

Is Facebook Special??? <title>Once upon a time in a land far away is a stoy about…</title> <meta name=description content=title> Because you didn’t optimize this, we will put whatever we want here from the post. ha ha…/> <meta property=og:title content=‘ /> <meta property=og:description content=‘ /> <meta property=‘og:image’ content=‘ /> @aaronfriedman 34

Open Graph Optimization Sample of 300 Webpages <meta property=og:title content=‘ /> Og: Title ~ 95 Characters <meta property=og:description content=‘ /> Og: Description ~ 297 Characters <meta property=‘og:image’ content=‘ /> @aaronfriedman 35
