    You need to add the relevant meta tags to the header section of the webpage you are trying to send people to:

    Add these lines before the <body> tag in your html.

    <meta name="title" content="Entry Testing Facebook Sharing"
    <meta name="description" content="How entry is trying to test this share method....but why doesnt this sentence show?" />

    Facebook uses those tags when people share your page. Try it and see.

      Oops, also forgot to mention. You can control the little thumbnail image people see when they share you page on facebook.

      To do that, simply add this code into your webpage as well as those I gave you above:

      <link rel="image_src" href="yourimage.jpg" / >

      Where it says 'yourimage.jpg' you will obviously need to insert the location of the image you want used as the thumbnail when people share your page.

            Login | FacebookProduct%20Launch%20Millionaires

            Question 1:
            Is this part of Jeff walkers link Important? as it is in the title tag already, correct?
            =Product%20Launch%20Millionaires

            Can it be Excluded?

            Question 2: Can you also give the example of the link for the sharing part....

              Here is the code you should use for the link:

              Code:
              <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://www.entryswebsite.com?utm_campaign=VisitorReferral&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=anonymous">Share on Facebook</a>
              Note: This won't work 100% properly unless you have added the things I discussed above to the page people will be sharing. If you have done that then it should work properly.

              Let me know how you go...
