[Trick] How to make a clickable image on Facebook

1. Upload to your website the image you want people to see on Facebook
2. Paste the link at Facebook debugger tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
3. Click on Fetch new scrape information so Facebook will read the current data from the image
4. Open your .htaccess file in your server ( more information here: http://www.htaccessbasics.com/how-to-edit-htaccess/ ) and redirect the image to the link you want people to open when they click on it adding this line:

redirect /yourimage.jpg http://www.linktoredirect.com

Code (markup):

So, for example, if your image is uploaded at www.yourdomain.com/image.jpg and you want people to go to www.yourdomain.com/facebooklink/ when they click on the image at Facebook, all you need to do is add this line to your .htaccess file:

redirect /image.jpg http://www.yourdomain.com/facebooklink/

Code (markup):

5. Now when someone click on your image on Facebook, they will open not the www.yourdomain.com/image.jpg, but www.yourdomain.com/facebooklink/ . The link is valid for 30 days (until Facebook updates the image information again)

 

These works?

 

Of course it does, why would I post something that doesn't work?
