Google has provided a very handy testing tool which lets you validate your markup to make sure results are shown the way you want them. <br /><br /> Before you rush off and retool your site to include rich snippets, know that Google will be taking a &ldquo;gradual approach&rdquo; to surface the data &ndash; meaning there is no guarantee that the rich snippets you include will be shown on the SERP&rsquo;s. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=13514" width="1" height="1">googlemicroformatsRDFarich snippetsmicrodata4710
