I work a lot with automated posting on FB and just got one thing to say to:
- Post long form content in your status. If you are going to link, drop the link in the 1st comment. FB / LI want to keep people on their platform and reduce reach of external links.
Do not post the link right away, wait a tiny bit AND if you can make the link a subcomment of another comment that would be even better.
If you put the link as the only and first comment and right after posting then FB will absolutely put 2 and 2 together and figure out the post is linking external but if there is a time frame OR the text is somewhat misleading to the link then it can work.
It's very tricky to fight the reach system of Facebook. Moreso if you're using pages and not your personal account.
