ARE YOU MAKING THIS SIMPLE FACEBOOK MISTAKE?

I'm surprised by the number of corporate (and personal) Facebook pages where I see this one supersimple mistake: link text left in posts!
Link text left in Facebook post
You might not know that Facebook allows you to post links to articles and other content without displaying the http address in your post. Once you copy and paste the link into the post you're writing, you can backspace/delete the link text, leaving the preview text and images intact.

Link text is not aesthetically pleasing and can interrupt the flow of your post. And now that most people know it's not necessary, it can make you look unprofessional or unsavvy. Get rid of it!

Copy and paste your link.
Copy and paste the link in your Facebook post
Now delete it!
Copy and past desired link into Facebook post
Delete the link text from Facebook post
Body of the post remains intact without the link text.
Sleek Facebook post with no link text
As always, remember that posts with images are more engaging than those without. If Facebook doesn't immediately populate your post with preview images, you can upload your own (which I will cover in another blog entry).
