With web3.0 results with microfrmatting showing in google, yahoo etc through reviews, instock, events, sales, pricing etc.

Check schema.org/product to understand how you should do it. Also Google has new guidelines and you can find them here.

**Note: **

When you add rich snippets, it is JUST HELPING search engines understand what type of data your site has but this may not help your site/url rank on search engine as the ranking on a page does not depend on it. However for right context the URL may get benefit as it is having more structured information.

So you should do it but it will work only if competitors have unstructured information

Hi! We're going through some of the older unanswered questions and seeing if people still have questions or if they've gone ahead and implemented something and have any lessons to share with us. Can you give an update, or mark your question as answered?

Thanks!

I know how to get engines to use it, And the formatting I was just wondering what sucess other people where having with price, instock and reviews seems to work well and recipes as well. Events don't seem to get picked up. Try to see what's the minimum traffic, rank, age, etc for them to show if any Hproduct, goodrelations what I noticed on huge traffic sites with 20k products it seems to update fast. Was just wondering for example on site x Instock works, reviews work what's - traffic, siteage, feeds, do you ping the format feed

Not sure I understand the question, sorry - but I have added the microformat tags to my ecommerce sites (on the product pages obviously) and submitted them all the Merchant Center.

To be honest though - I don't know yet if it;s made any difference. I do have significant traffic/sales from Merchant Center (i still call it google base, i cannot stop) and it certainly isnt doing me any harm.
