I had a question about microfomats and more specifically hreview-aggregate. A client implemented them a while ago but they are not showing in the SERPs however Google's rich snippet testing tool shows them working perfectly. I took a look at the code and it is currently
<div class="hreview-aggregate">
<div class="rating-45 clearfix">
<span class="rating" title="4.383 of 5 stars">4.383 of 5 stars</span>
<a tabindex="0" href="https://www.example.com/category/" title="View all xxxx Reviews">
<span class="count">View all xxxx Reviews</span>
</a>
</div>
</div>
I changed it up to include class="average" class="best" and a few other spans that they were missing.
<div class="hreview-aggregate">
<div class="rating-45 clearfix">
<span class="rating" title="4.383 of 5 stars"><span class="average">4.383</span> of <span class="best">5</span> stars</span>
<a tabindex="0" href="https://www.example.com/category/" title="View all xxxx Reviews">
View all <span class="count">xxxx</span> Reviews
</a>
</div>
</div>
Will the updated code finally show in the SERPs? Also, the page only has the rating but no reviews, should I use COUNT or VOTES?
I doubt the Google Rich Snippet Tool would pass this. The hreview-aggregate specification (specification) states an item needs to be specified that is being reviewed.
I've also seen the rich snippet tool speak of an average property, but the specification doesn't mention it, if you use value instead of average you comply to the spec and the rich snippet tool picks it up. And you should round the number to one decimal.
You should indeed use votes instead of count if the page doesn't contain any individual reviews.
This is an old question but to those still using hreview-aggregate.
The structure more or less is as follows:
<div class="hreview-aggregate">
<div class="item">
<span class="fn">Item Name</span>
</div>
<div class="rating">
<span class="average">3.5</span>
<span class="best">5</span>
<span class="count">15</span>
</div>
In your code you should have something like this:
<div class="hreview-aggregate">
<div class="item">
<span class="fn">Item Name</span>
</div>
<div class="rating-45 rating clearfix">
<span title="4.383 of 5 stars"><span class="average">4.383</span> of <span class="best">5</span> stars</span>
<a tabindex="0" href="https://www.example.com/category/" title="View all xxxx Reviews">
View all <span class="count">10</span> Reviews
</a>
</div>
</div>
So that it fully validates with: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool
Should I use COUNT or VOTES?
From the microformat doc itself: http://microformats.org/wiki/hreview-aggregate
count:: This property is used to specify the total number of reviews for the product or service.
votes:: This property is used to specify the total number of users who have rated the product or service, contributing to the average rating. For some sites, the number of votes is equal to the number of reviews, so count may be used and this property omitted.
in your case, see my example with count as I believe this is most applicable to you.
As mentioned before there are several factors that can cause google not to show it.
Google itself says:
When Google finds valid reviews or ratings markup, we may show a rich snippet that includes stars and other summary info from reviews or ratings.
Keyword: MAY
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/reviews#review-snippets
from my experience they usually do, just make sure its properly formatted and validated.

Im making responsive table and I want it be fully accessible for every people. But in this case i'm not sure where i should use rowheader and where to use columheader.
Here is my code (ofcourse it is just example, there is not actual data):
<div role="grid">
<div class="row" role="row">
<div class="hidden-xs col-sm-offset-4 col-sm-3 " role="columnheader">
<img class="img-responsive" style="width:200px;" src="http://blogmedia.whoishostingthis.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/free-hosting.jpg" alt="Vendor 1">
</div>
<div class="hidden-xs col-sm-offset-1 col-sm-3 " role="columnheader">
<img class="img-responsive" style="width:200px;" src="http://jennmoney.biz/assets/free.gif" alt="Vendor 2">
</div>
</div>
<hr class="line">
<div class="raty-table" role="row">
<span class="col-xs-12 col-sm-4" role="rowheader">
Title 1
</span>
<span class="visible-xs-block col-xs-4" role="rowheader">
Vendor 1
</span>
<span class="col-xs-8 col-sm-4" role="gridcell">
Content
</span>
<span class="visible-xs-block col-xs-4" role="rowheader">
Vendor 2
</span>
<span class="col-xs-8 col-sm-4" role="gridcell">
Content
</span>
</div>
</div>
Here is a fiddle:
For vendors should I use rowheader or columnheader? And how I should tag "How long can I sing?" Once it is rowheader and on different screen size it can be columnheader.
I see, it is hard to undestand what I mean, so I made two mocks, but thanks to StackOverflow I can't post it, becouse I have to low reputation...
I must post it as a link: http://postimg.org/gallery/j2elhzmc/ - first picture shows how it looks on desktop, second how it looks at smartphone (if you have the same order as me).
Your grid must be defined as non editable
A grid is considered editable unless otherwise specified. To make a grid read-only, set the aria-readonly attribute of the grid to true.
You should explicitly indicate relationships
If relevant headers cannot be determined from the DOM structure, authors SHOULD explicitly indicate which header cells are relevant to the cell by referencing elements with role rowheader or columnheader using the aria-describedby attribute.
Note that you might reference a "display:none" element in the aria-describedby attribute. I will say that the more semantic choice will then be to set aria-hidden attribute on your rowheader elements.
TL;DR:
Set aria-readonly=true on the grid
Set aria-describedby attribute on your "gridcell" cells referencing each one of your "not always visible" columnheader
Remove role="rowheader" and set aria-hidden="true"
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious but columnheader should be used at the top of each column. (You could have a columnheader in the middle of the table, but that's not typical, although I could see it used as a repeating header if it split across pages.)
A rowheader is usually the first cell in the table for that row. You can have multiple rowheaders but it's not common unless you're showing a multi-dimensional table (eg, a sales report that has a year header for all rows, then quarter headers for every three months, then month headers).
You start getting unreliable results (from screen readers) if you have row headers spread across several non-contiguous cells.
I'm assuming you don't want to use <table> and <th scope='row|col'>
Hello i have a site with flash games and i need to add star rating for each game in google search like for amazon 'here' but without review just rating its possible ? google dont punish me for that because its not an article ?
<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
Rated: <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span>/<span itemprop="bestRating">5</span>
</div>
I tested the code here https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ but i have error
Thanks
This is an example of a valid code (not related to games, but you'll get the idea). You could test it in the tool:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">
<span itemprop="name">Kenmore White 17" Microwave</span>
<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span> stars -
Based on <span itemprop="reviewCount">250</span> reviews
</div>
</div>
Now, you can't really put whatever you want there. In order to use the star rating you have to put reviewCount or ratingCount. Those are just mandatory.
There are two problems coming up from the tester
it doesn't know what Thing you are rating, you need to tell it you are rating a game, and what the game is called
you gave a best rating but no ratingCount, how many people rated it? If you don't know set to '1' and use a <meta> tag to hide this
Use this:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/VideoGame">
Download
<img alt="Super Game logo" src="/images/screenshots/supergame/cover.jpg"/>
<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
Rated: <span itemprop="ratingValue">4</span>/<span itemprop="bestRating">5</span>
Based on <span itemprop="ratingCount">1</span> rating(s).
</div>
</div>
The page http://schema.org/VideoGame has more examples, and google may ask for a few more properties like name or headline for the game. Google can suddenly decide things are compulsory when they were not last month.
I'm working on a website for a friend (www.texasfriendlydds.com) and am trying to give them an edge with Rich Snippets that Google allegedly loves. It's a defensive driving school with 10 locations in the Austin area. I've placed the schema.org code within the address of each location, but while searching 'defensive driving austin' - I do not see any of the locations listed. I have 10 of the following code for each location(different address for each):
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
<span itemprop="name">Texas Friendly Defensive Driving</span><br />
<div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
<span itemprop="streetAddress">13201 Ranch Road 620</span><br />
<span itemprop="addressLocality">Austin</span> <span itemprop="addressRegion">TX</span> <span itemprop="postalCode">78750</span>
</div>
<div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
<span itemprop="ratingValue">4.6</span> stars - based on <span itemprop="reviewCount">24</span> reviews
</div>
Free meal w/ <span itemprop="priceRange">$40 tuition</span><br /><br />
<meta itemprop="openingHours" content="Thursdays 3:30pm - 9:30pm"><b>Thursdays 3:30pm - 9:30pm</b><br />
</div>
In addition, at the bottom of the page, I aggregate all the reviews in attempt to get organic search rich snippet star-ratings to no avail. I've compared my code directly with the following site:
- http://www.microdatagenerator.com/aggregate-rating-schema-generator/
They were exactly the same (minus the values). You can find their snippets by Googling 'aggregate rating schema' and find the 2nd listing with rich snippet stars and 956 ratings. At one point I read that you need to show proof of your ratings, but this site doesn't do that and they have them.
I've used the Google Structured Data Testing Tool (https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/) and everything comes out peachy. So why in the world am I not seeing any results from this?
We (Google) don't accept rich snippets for homepages; rich snippet annotations should be placed on leaf pages.
Say I have multiple price quotes from multiple retailers, how will I retrieve the 5th value from a particular retailer - say Target or Walmart ? I can get to the 5th entry using the matching image logo bit how do I retrieve the value ?
Adding Html Code to make things more clear .I need to retrieve the ratePrice value (198)
<div id="rate-297" class="rateResult standardResult" vendor="15">
<div class="rateDetails">
<h4>Standard Goods

<strong>

</p>
</div>
<div class="ratePrice">
<h3>

<sup>49</sup>

<p>
<strong>$754.49</strong>
<br>
</p>
<a class="button-select" href="https://www.walmart.com/us/order/95134/2013-05-14-10-00/95134/2013-05-17-10-00/297"> </a>
</div>
</div>
If you could provide some HTML it would help. Speaking generally from what you're asking you'd get a locator to the price div or whatever HTML element and then get its text using something like:
_driver.FindElement(locator_of_element).Text
The trick is understanding the HTML in order to target the 5th element. So if you can find the row that has the 5th entry then it's simply a matter or then finding the price div in that row and getting the text of it.
EDIT based on more info provided by OP in comments
Using the HTML you provided (which isn't well formed by the way, missing closing strong tag, a tag, etc.). I'd say do the following:
_driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[#class='ratePrice'][5]/h3")).Text
I'm trying to help Google generate appropriate breadcrumb details for my website. I am currently using this as the breadcrumb:
<div id="breadcrumb">
<span class="crust" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">
<a href="http://www.radonsystems.net" class="crumb" rel="up" itemprop="url">
<span itemprop="title">Home</span>
</a>
<span class="arrow">
<span>ยป</span>
</span>
</span>
<span class="crust" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Breadcrumb">
<a href="http://www.radonsystems.net/business/profile.2" class="crumb" rel="up" itemprop="url">
<span itemprop="title">Business Profile</span>
</a>
</span>
</div>
However, this isn't helping Google at all, even the testing tool does not generate the breadrumb link, though it does see the microdata and correctly identifies it as breadcrumb microdata.
Any ideas?
Instead of using the microdata schemas at data-vocabulary.org, I would use the newer ones at http://schema.org which is the joint project by Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. It has a wider range of schemas to be more expressive with your data modeling.
In particular, the webpage schema is what you want for defined breadcrumb microdata.
http://www.schema.org/WebPage
What I did was to add a new column, in which numbers could be entered as format: 1,3,4. Then, I retrieved it from the database, exploded it into an array, and for each number, I'd retrieve information about that link id: url, text, then output it.
If you want to list your pages, you need to create a version that contains enough substance that should be sought.
