Linked in share not including image from site

Using the Addthis tag the visitor can share a page to his linkedin page.

Sometimes the share includes the image on the page and sometimes not.
Must be a template thing - maybe?

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Do you have an example of this, i.e. a page with the AddThis stuff and the result on LinkedIn? Does the same page sometimes show images and sometimes not? Or does one page show images and another page does not?

Best regards,
Mikkel

Hi RIcky:

Here are some examples:

Sharing to LinkedIn with image ok:

http://www.olavdelinde.dk/Job.aspx?ID=1766

With no image included:
http://www.olavdelinde.dk/Default.aspx?ID=1895
http://www.olavdelinde.dk/Profil.aspx?ID=1393

The only obvious difference I can see between the images on the Job page and the Profil page is that the one that works (Job) uses /Admin/Public/GetImage.ashx to show the image. However, I don't see why this should affect how the page is displayed on LinkedIn.

Can you show us the pages on LinkedIn?

When clicking the linkedin icon in the share toolbar at the top of the page the image will be/should be shown in the popup window.

You can check it there.

LinkedIn fetches the page for sharing, but how they do it and what they do to it I don't know.

My best suggestion is that you compare two pages – one that works and one that doesn't – to see how they differ structurally and find out what you have to add or remove to make the image appear on LinkedIn.

Best regards,
Mikkel
