Facebook Open Graph does not scrape my website correctly "Meta Tags In Body"

Question

We have a website which I should correct. http://gewinnspiel.point-s.de/gw

I integrated the Facebook Meta Tags as described on the developer pages of Facebook. But when I put my link in the Open Graph Debugger it says "Meta Tags In Body" and doesn't find the tags. I can't get it work properly, maybe you can help me.

Update:

Answer from CBroe is correct/good.

Here I found an article (german) which shows how to remove BOM from your files. Because of the pictures, I think it is also helpful for no-german speakers.

Was it helpful?

Solution

When you click on See exactly what our scraper sees for your URL, it displays:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html><body>
<p>&iuml;&raquo;&iquest;

</p>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

… and so on.

&iuml;&raquo;&iquest; are the HTML entities for the characters , and those are what’s known as a Byte Order Mark.

BOMs cause more problems for UTF-8 documents on the web than they solve – so try and remove the BOM from all your files that the page is composed of. (Use “save as UTF-8 without BOM” or similar in your editor.)
