Increase your click-through rate with stars showing on your search rehsults!
RICH SNIPPETS ARE THE #1 SEO TREND 2013!
Google says: „(…) We look forward to seeing structured markup continue to grow on the web, powering richer search results (…)“
(Read the full article here.)
This plugin helps you to generate these stars in search results by including some special HTML-tags called microdata. But even more: It allows the user to rate the current page, post or custom post type. After the rating the plugin provides a textarea-field for commenting and therefore provide more (helpful) information to the author. It‘s like Wikipedias new rating functionality!
What you can do with this plugin:
- Add Stars to your search results*
- Edit every single text of the plugin
- Choose your icon (like a heart, thumbs, arrows, and a lot more – see the screenshots for more examples)
- Choose the color of your rating
- Choose where to display the rating module (posts, pages, custom post types)
- Allow rating on comments
- Sort the comments depending on the ratings.
- Get automatic updates when providing your purchase code
Please note: Google says that there is no guarantee that the stars will be appear on your search results. My experience showed that it will appear when used regularly and not only on just one page. Read more about this in the FAQ section.
