Does Linkedin Resource URL Preview Not Display Correctly?

Question

I need to provide dynamically generated URLs on a website on Facebook and LinkedIn. I am sharing correctly with Facebook and all the necessary og tags are installed. But for LinkedIn, this does not work.

This is my URL: https://www.fourthambit.com/blogs_fa/102048

It has been parsed correctly on Facebook and the preview is displayed correctly.

But the same link does not work on LinkedIn.

Did I miss something?

All necessary meta tags are installed:

<meta property="og:title" content="Indian Media: Then.... Now... and Later" /> <meta content="Sensationalism has become synonymous with the Indian Media, especially Television. In 2008 dur..." name="description" /> <meta property="og:description" content="Sensationalism has become synonymous with the Indian Media, especially Television. In 2008 dur..." /> <meta content="Academic network" name="keywords" /> <meta property="og:image" content="https://www.fourthambit.com/article/getarticlephoto/big/ZGNlZQD4/0/102/20150807050217-12217198186.jpg" /> <img src="https://www.fourthambit.com/article/getarticlephoto/big/ZGNlZQD4/0/102/20150807050217-12217198186.jpg" style="display: none !important;" /> <meta property="og:type" content="website" /> <meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" name="viewport" /> 

This is an ajax call when I try to preview the preview in the text area of ​​the LinkedIn update line.

Answer 1

This problem may be caused by the following:

"Unfortunately, LinkedIn caches the data it receives the first time it looks at the link and stores it in the cache for a week!"

and solution:

The only way to clear the LinkedIn shared preview cache is to trick LinkedIn into thinking that your page is a different (and new) page.

This is done by adding a prepared parameter to the link. This does not affect your webpage, but causes metadata to be re-selected.

Example:

Original link: http://beantin.se/consultant-resume "New" link: http://beantin.se/consultant-resume?1 "

It worked for me after hours of fighting it. The solutions are here: http://beta.beantin.se/clearing-linkedin-link-sharing-preview-cache/

Answer 2

LinkedIn launched a mail inspector. Now you can do the following to clear the LinkedIn preview cache:

Step 1: Visit https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect/

Step 2. Enter your URL and click "Verify." You will see an updated preview image.

Step 3: Now try sharing your URL on LinkedIn
