However, it must still consider the right way, because if something goes wrong, Google will not show the star rating. We also need to know that, Google does not guarantee the star rating continues to appear, in simple language, sometimes appears sometimes not.
Okay, before we make a star rating. To appear in Google, We need to know, that the star rating should be a 'rich snipets' (read: About Rich snipets). While making his own way, can use the 3 formats: microdata, microformats, RDFa. Regarding the third difference and that format is. You can read the following article "Rich Html Format snipets difference". But this time I discussed was the use microdata format with the type of schema.org due to having advantages than other formats are data that we make can be read by some search engines at once (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Microsoft, Yandex).
The first thing you must understand is the star rating has two types, namely aggregate rating and individual rating. The difference lies in the usability rating. Individual rating is only for one item of the review, while aggregate rating for an item of some of the reviews. Review or a review itself is part of the microdata type and rating it is the property of the reviews.
In making the star rating below this, can we put the html code manually in each post or automatically so that all posts are rating.
Individual type Star Rating Rating
Example display in google search:
Html code used when installed manually on each post (In the immediate post):
<div itemscope = '' itemtype = 'http: //schema.org/Review'>
<div itemprop = 'itemReviewed' itemscope = '' itemtype = 'http: //schema.org/Thing'>
<span itemprop = 'name'> Name Your Article Title </ span>
</ div>
<div itemprop = 'reviewRating' itemscope = '' itemtype = 'http: //schema.org/Rating'>
<meta content = '1' itemprop = 'worstRating' />
<span itemprop = 'ratingValue'> 4 </ span> /
<span itemprop = 'bestRating'> 5 </ span>
</ div>
by The
<span itemprop = 'author'> Your Name </ span>
</ div>
Html code used when installed automatically (in the blogger template):
<div itemscope = '' itemtype = 'http: //schema.org/Review'>
<div itemprop = 'itemReviewed' itemscope = '' itemtype = 'http: //schema.org/Thing'>
<span itemprop = 'name'> <data: post.title /> </ span>
</ div>
<div itemprop = 'reviewRating' itemscope = '' itemtype = 'http: //schema.org/Rating'>
<meta content = '1' itemprop = 'worstRating' />
<span itemprop = 'ratingValue'> 4 </ span> /
<span itemprop = 'bestRating'> 5 </ span>
</ div>
by The
<span itemprop = 'author'> <data: post.author /> </ span>
</ div>
The code above is just an example of code, should not be copied. For a complete code along its css I will discuss in the post "Making the star rating with css pull" and the result will be like below.
