Rich snippets
-
Hi Everyone,
Hope you can help me out.
We have customer reviews on our product pages and are also ranking highly for those keywords for those product pages.
To improve our CTR for those keywords I think to show those reviews with organic results using rich snippets would be a good way of improving CTR.
I have asked my programmer to integrate this, which he came back and said after the rich snippets have been integrated we then have to ask Google to integrate it in their search results, is this true?
I hope this makes sense.
Kind Regards

We've implemented rich snippets for a bunch of our retailer pages and they are showing up for about half of them. Is this Google just decided which SERPs to show the snippets for and which not to or is it something more?
-
They will find them as the crawl
-
It is best practice to let Google know about these rich snippets? If so, how is this done?
Yes, i came across the webmaster tool for rich snippets, will be using this for sure.
Kind Regards

Well the short answer is, if you do a good job on your website its not spammy, it crawls well, you should get your snippits picked up.
when you get it up and going you can use the rich snippit tool to check them, http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
Make sure you have plenty of the properties filled in, It is my expirence that slim snippits dont work.

Hi Alan,
We are migrating to a new website which is about to go live in December this will include the rich snippets. At the moment the rich snippets have not been coded into the exciting code, so there is nothing to show i'm afraid.
-
You can test your Rich Snippets using http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets

Can you give me a URL, i will tell you if it has rich snippits done correctly.
Google decided when to show them it is not automatic, but if done correcly and your site is not too spammy you should be able to get them picked up.

How to delete video rich snippets?
Hi mozzaholics, At first I was very happy to have video snippets appear in Google (200 pages), but now after 6 months I see a drop of almost -30% in traffic, whilst the average rank stayed the same, compared to the star snippets I have for other pages. So I want to remove the video snippets and have the old rich snippets back. I tried removing the videositemap and google's the structured data tool doesn't show video snippets. Does anybody know what else I can do to remove the video snippets? Is there anybody who succeeded deleting them? Please share your wisdom. Ivo

Meta Description VS Rich Snippets
Hello everyone, I have one question: there is a way to tell Google to take the meta description for the search results instead of the rich snippets? I already read some posts here in moz, but no answer was found. In the post was said that if you have keywords in the meta google may take this information instead, but it's not like this as i have keywords in the meta tags. The fact is that, in this way, the descriptions are not compelling at all, as they were intended to be. If it's not worth for ranking, so why google does not allow at least to have it's own website descriptions in their search results? I undestand that spam issues may be an answer, but in this way it penalizes also not spammy websites that may convert more if with a much more compelling description than the snippets. What do you think? and there is any way to fix this problem? Thanks!

Are There Negatives to Removing the Rich Snippet Date
On some of our website's pages, Google displays the date of the last update in the search results. We want to remove this because it cuts off our meta description and it can make our page look outdated. Are there any negative consequences that you can think of when removing the date rich snippet.

Using rich snippets with a CMS?
My site uses the webEdition CMS that is split between templates and documents (pages). A template responsible for a number of documents. If I wish to use rich snippets, how and where can I add the microdata as I can't do it on a page per page basis? My CMS documentation and its developer forum doesn't give any information on this but I'm hoping its a common problem for open source CMS's and there is an easy fix. I live in hope! Iain

If non-paying customers only get a 2 min snippet of a video, can my video length in sitemap.xml be the full length?
I am working on a website that all of its primary contents are videos. They have an assortment of free videos, but the majority or viewable only with a subscription to the site. If you don't have a subscription, you can see a 2 min video clip of the contents of the video. But all the videos can be anywhere from 10min to 1.5 hours. When I am auto-generating the sitemap.xml, can I put the full length of the videos for paying members in the XML in the video:duration property? Or because publicly only 2 minutes is available (unless you pay for a membership) is that frowned upon?
