: Microdata for product images which aren't displayed in the page? My internet shop displays thumbnails of products' images, and I see that these thumbnail are (slowly) being indexed by Google.

If the value is a URL, you must use link instead of meta.

<link itemprop="image" href="/uploads/images/medium/product_img.jpg" />

You should use

<meta itemprop="image" content="/uploads/images/medium/product_img.jpg">


Since src="" is associated with embedding content on the page and content="" is associated with embedding items off the page so to speak. This is the same method as used with the Facebook Open Graph meta as well, take a look:

<meta property='og:image' content='/uploads/images/medium/product_img.jpg'/>
