: Facebook and different URLs for each sharer, could this affect the amount it is shared On my quiz site, I have been allowing people to share the quizzes with their friends using the Facebook

On my quiz site, I have been allowing people to share the quizzes with their friends using the Facebook sharer popup.

At first I just let them share the quiz on it's own, but I decided it would be nice to have a query string that passes data so that the previous person's result would be visible to the sharer, like this: example.com/oJXp7r?t=5QMCCQ
Now, I want to give the content the best visibility possible on Facebook. I have a canonical URL set up in the header for each quiz, which I was hoping would allow Facebook to realised the preferred URL.

I wanted to know if adding the query string to each sharer should affect the sharability or visibility of the content on Facebook.

I know, for instance, that if more than one of your friends shares the same link, it will come up prominently and say '3 of your friends shared X content'.... if I have the query string will it stop this kind of thing from happening or will it realise it's the same URL?

Using the default Facebook sharer, it would see URL's with different query parameters as completely separate URL's so subsequently, not detecting that 3 other Facebook user's have shared the same content. You'd have to come up with a workaround to this.
