In Facebook when i place my site URL the image does not load?
It loads some generic image or logo but not other image thats related to the page. Is there any Tag we need to add in the website so the image loads?
Is it good to use a tag as this for description?
property="og:description" content="Some data" />

As others have said, there are a few ways to tackle this but all involve improving your schema so it adheres to the Facebook Open Graph standard (http://ogp.me/). If your site is a Wordpress site (or other CMS), there are some simple ways to set this up. Then, when you place a link to your site in the Facebook post, the correct image and information is pulled in automatically. This can have a great impact on your professional appearance so it's recommended that you do take care of it.
That said, let us know what kind of site you are working with and maybe we can offer some more specific directions.

If you want to control your image in Social Media you need to include these tags, you don't need all of them if you are only interested in one platform
Once you have them on the page and filled out, you will need to tell Facebook or Twitter to update the markup with this tool

Which platform are you using? If it doesn't work you could make your own button using an image of your choosing with a live link to your Facebook page, or use one of the buttons Facebook supplies in their Developer section Many sites now very easily give sitewide social links but I have heard that some users are being penalised for this. I have taken mine down and manually apply social links in a few appropriate places instead of using the built in systems which often spam your whole site with unnecessary links.

How do I direct users to site page when they search vanity URL?
My company runs a contest via a landing page on our website. The full URL to the landing page is rather long so we have a vanity URL that we use for advertising purposes. I have a 301 on the vanity URL to the landing page URL so people visiting it directly end up where they should just fine. But if a user goes to Google and types the vanity URL into the search bar, the landing page is nowhere to be found in the results. What do I need to do to get the landing page to show in results when people search the vanity URL?

Speed benefits from loading images from a subdomain
I have read that loading images from a subdomain of your site instead of the main domain will give you speed benefits on load time. Has anyone actually seen that to be the case? Thanks!

Image centric site and duplicate content issues
We have a site that has very little text, the main purpose of the site is to allow users to find inspiration through images. 1000s of images come to us each week to be processed by our editorial team, so as part of our process we select a subset of the best images and process those with titles, alt text, tags, etc. We still host the other images and users can find them through galleries that link to the process and unprocessed image pages. Due to the lack of information on the unprocessed images, we are having lots of duplicate content issues (The layout of all the image pages are the same, and there isn't any unique text to differentiate the pages. The only changing factor is the image itself in each page) Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue, will be greatly appreciated.

Will Links to one Sub-Domain on a Site hurt a different Sub-Domain on the same site by affecting the Quality of the Root Domain?
Hi, I work for a SaaS company which uses two different subdomains on our site. A public for our main site (which we want to rank in SERPs for), and a secure subdomain, which is the portal for our customers to access our services (which we don't want to rank for) . Recently I realized that by using our product, our customers are creating large amounts of low quality links to our secure subdomain and I'm concerned that this might affect our public subdomain by bringing down the overall Authority of our root domain. Is this a legitimate concern? Has anyone ever worked through a similar situation? any help is appreciated!
