Google is beginning to use Rich Snippets to help index products and product ratings. The current structure of CS-Cart’s Discussion templates makes it mostly impossible to implement these search engine strategies.
Microformats is the easiest Rich snippet method to use in HTML docs.

Looking quickly, it looks like implementing this in the Product detail templates will be difficult too.
Very interesting to know. That was a very good feature for future update. I mean general that Cs-cart must working more on the SEO and Google Listing Features. Because what you have from a wonderful shop with super features if nobody can found you on google.

Hmm, just read this nice article… [url=“Rich results are rocking the SERPs • Yoast”]http://yoast.com/rich-snippets-everywhere/[/url]m Apparantly…
Rich Snippets are showing up everywhere
Seems like this is going to be important and big. donm't know much about it yet… so comments are appreciated!
I guess Google tried to make this big ~2 years ago. I implemented Rich Snippets into Interspire Shopping Cart and released the modification for doing so. To be honest, I ran the modification on 3 sites and never noticed any changes at all.
But this article is brand new, and yoast is a very trustworhty source, and one of the best SEO dudes on the planet I guess.
So apparantly it's taking off now, finally!
I've got rich snippets up & running now. Within 2 days my reviews were indexed by google and are now showing stars!

Hi, did you get an addon done to do that, can you please direct me to where the modification details are?
Thanks.
No add-on, ALT team implemented it for me.
