Cross-posting this from Social Networking Sites because it might be resolvable with Wordpress alone, but I'm having an issue with a blog of mine.
I'm trying to switch monetizing strategies and am looking to start using my hosted Wordpress site with ads to embed YouTube videos, instead of just ads on YouTube. When I post the link to the Wordpress post on Facebook, it detects the YouTube video and links directly to that, except when you click on just the title of the link, then it brings you to the linked page.
Are there any tricks around this? I'm assuming it's a limitation caused by Facebook scraping the content that I've embedded on the page, but I've tried multiple plugins and embedding techniques without any luck.
Here is a (crude) example of what happens when I post:
