When I try to share a page of my website (http://www.webhostmogul.com) on LinkedIn, Google+, Facebook, etc. no image shows up.

Your link doesn’t appear to be an appfinite theme, it looks like the Metro theme. Is that the right link?

Oops, that’s the wrong site. This is the one: http://www.dailyvirus.com/. The specific post in question is this one: http://dailyvirus.com/2013/07/16/four-traits-of-powerful-triggers/.

It could be because you don’t have any actual images on the page (I do see a video though)…..But I’m not really sure how it all works though. It really just depends on what those social sites look for when creating a thumbnail/image.

I was going to mention adding a featured image, but I’m not sure what good that would do since it probably won’t be visible to those sites when linking directly.

Anyone else out there know how to do this?

Add an image to a post and post the whole url to your FB page and see if it picks it up.. I find that creating and image with the focal point in the very center of your (say featured image) works best for FB as it defaults to a square image link on the FB page.
