I have a website and want to put a link to it on my status on facebook.
However, no image is displayed.
How can I determine to display an image with that link?
Thanks

Indeed. This is the answer. I must point out that I did everything ok, the problem was that I havent fetched the link, and thus the facebook was not updated which thumbnail to present. So the most important stage to do it to fetch the link

Facebook Share Story Image Does Not Appear For First time

I have a website that generates a collage for a user and then allows them to share it on facebook. I have all the og tags setup, so when a user shares the page it will display an image preview. The problem here is that the first time a user shares the page no image preview appears because facebook has not crawled the page yet. If there someway to solve this, so the image preview shows up the very first time?
Simple.
Just make sure you include the height and the width of the image as well in your OG definition.
Example:
<meta property='og:image:width' content='1000' />
<meta property='og:image:height' content='300' />

Facebook share url thumbnail problem
I discovered, after testing, that I had the wrong meta tags for image or url. After correcting the information on my webpage, FB still seems to reflect the old information. Is there something I can do to correct this? Or does FB just take a certain length of time to kick in and if so, how long?
Changing the tags should be enough, but there are some tags that aren't allowed to change past certain limits (check here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/ under "Editing Meta Tags"). You can use the linter tool to check that your tags are correct, or see, if they are wrong - why they are wrong:

I use facebook debugger for test my page (http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug).
When I test this page - http://chatterbay-test.appspot.com/user/FlashMaster, debugger can't find any meta tags, but when I try test same code on another server - http://194.105.145.52:8080/wc/face.html debugger show title, description and image.
That's because if you go to http://chatterbay-test.appspot.com/user/FlashMaster you need to sign in.
As such the debug tool can't read your page.

Control the image that facebook shows when I like a URL [duplicate]

As the owner of the page being liked, is there anyway to control the url that shows up on the wall of people who like my page?
See the above image? Like a blog post on this page: www.sunlitehardware.com.au and you will note that the "thrifty link" logo, found in the bottom right hand corner of the website, is displayed (as shown in the picture above). I want to change that to a sunlite hardware logo.
You can use the meta tag to tell which image to show on your post to your wall:
<meta property="og:image" content="(your image link)"/>
