Step 1: Log in to your affiliate's dashboard.
Click User, select the user.
Step 2. Update User (Login to the user interface for this user)
Step 3:Click Facebook.
Step 4: Add meta code
Please add the Facebook Open Graph Meta tag to your landing page. Below is a sample Facebook Open Graph Meta tag. You need to add it before the closing </head> tag.
<meta property="og:title" content="Drive More Traffic to Your Website"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="website"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.osiaffiliate.com"/>
