Does Google support Rich article snippets?

I searched for rich snippets on google. Google lists the following schema.org elements that are supported:

  • Reviews
  • People
  • List item
  • Products
  • Enterprises and organizations
  • Recipes
  • Events Music

I noticed that in the search results Google displays Rich Snippets for article and BlogPosting. When you click on the link and use Firebug to check the source code, I see that the used schema.org is really BlogPosting.

I tried adding BlogPosting to my sample code and the Google Rich Snippet Tool to check the results, but I can’t get the image to display, I use the following code:

<html> <body> etc etc.... <div itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting"> <img itemprop="image" href="/images/test.jpg" item> </div> ...

Although it does not show the image in the Rich Snippet tool, it recognizes that the image has been set and displays the URL text in the "Extract advanced snippets from page" field. I tried using the SoftwareApplication schema, and then I get the image to display.

My question is: Does the Rich Snippet tool limit the images that it shows based on the above schemes and actually once in real-time search results, Rich Snippets for the article and BlogPostings will be shown?

Currently, Google does not display product images in SERPS for the types schema.org/Article or schema.org/BlogPosting. It will show the author’s profile picture that he pulls out of Google+ using one of two methods:

https://plus.google.com/authorship

... Think about it. Everyone will try to plug in the addition of some (spam) image next to their SERPS blog post. Google just wants to show verified authorship with its authentication methods (via G +) - not just from any "author" tag in microdata.

Yes, the rich snippet tool will not show you what the actual SERP will look like, because it depends on the request. In fact, they say

Please note that there is no guarantee that Rich Snippet will be shown for this page in real search results.

Google introduced Rich Snippet for articles, so now you can use snippets for your article / blog article.

See the google white paper on implementing the extended snippet for your articles: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/articles

And as for the problem with the image, try applying the code of the fragment in accordance with the document above, and it should show the image. I tested it and everything worked fine.
