This is for people that are on Facebook and use it to send people to their websites. This is an online newspaper (money.cnn.com) with lots of great articles. You can leave all the comments that you want and they are all linked to your Facebook page.

Of course for IT articles just use daniweb.com with a signature.

A short, practical follow-up to ’s find and ’ point: major news sites and blogs use share/comment widgets, but the real wins come from doing three simple things well — control the preview, test it, and measure the clicks. For readers who want traffic from article pages, this checklist turns a casual share into repeatable traffic. Mentioned replies about value for business readers (e.g., , ) are on target — well-formatted previews increase clicks and trust.

Make link previews deterministic by adding Open Graph metadata in the page head (at minimum: og:title, og:type, og:image, og:url). Example snippet you can drop into your template:

<meta property="og:title" content="Your Article Title" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Short, benefit-driven summary." />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/images/og-image.jpg" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com/article-slug" />

See the Open Graph specification for the required fields and structured properties. (ogp.me)

Always preview and force-rescrape after changes (social platforms cache aggressively). Use a link-preview/debug tool to confirm what will show in feeds, and clear any CDN or site cache after edits. Track every external link with UTM parameters so you know which shares actually drive visits; a simple campaign-tagged URL looks like:

https://example.com/article?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nov_launch

Test previews with a share-preview tool and review Google Analytics campaign docs for correct UTM usage. (app.smler.io)

Decide comment strategy up front: third-party comment plugins (Facebook Comments, Disqus, etc.) can increase visibility but move control and data off-site — WPBeginner has a clear pros/cons rundown. If you prefer lightweight share buttons (no heavy SDKs), a plain share URL works in many cases (for Facebook the common pattern is https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=...). Also prioritize a strong OG image (minimum ~600x315; ideal ~1200x630) to get large previews. (wpbeginner.com)

Note: platform tools and plugin behavior change over time — treat platform docs and your own tests as the single source of truth before rolling changes site-wide.

UMMM... I do not think this is just for people who are on facebook. In fact, many blogs, article sites, news sites, magazine sites and more use these facebook wiggets to share the article with their facebook friends. Some sites even allow you to log in with your facebook account in order to leave a comment.
