How to Not Show a Link in Facebook
Don't show additional information such as a title, description or a thumbnail of an image from it when you include a link to external contact with a Facebook message if you want to conceal its contents from people who see the link. For example if you create an online card for someone, you don't want her knowing exactly where the site will take her when before she clicks the link. Posting from Facebook mobile apps always conceals this additional information.

Tips & Warnings
As of the date of publication, it isn't possible to attach links to statuses using mobile applications -- links you paste in display as text -- so post using a mobile device whenever you want to conceal link information.
