Hi tagDiv,
I’ve some questions about the SEO for Reviews for Newspaper theme. My site has only one review, which is on Stars (reviewed in stars). But, when I search on Google, it seems like the Rich SEO Snippets isn’t working at all! I searched with my post link on Google but it didn’t showed up. Can you guys tell me what is needed to be done to fix it?
On the other hand, I want my site to show links in details on google. Just like this:
I remember that the theme used to show my site in details (like the screenshot), but when I changed my menus to Mega Menu, Google started to show them normally like other sites!! Does the Mega Menu affect my SEO anyway? I’ve read that the Menus needed to be in HTML. So, that the Search Engine Bots can understand it.
Please help me solve this SEO problems, I really want them to be done.
Thanks!
Hi,
unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that. Google decides what to show and what not to show in the search results. The theme has meta info for reviews but that doesn’t guarantee that google will show your ratings in the search results.
For example for authorship support @google they have this information:

Regarding the site sections please see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6886019/how-do-i-get-google-to-show-different-sections-as-parts-of-the-same-site

Thanks Radu, can you please tell me if the Mega Menu is affecting the site navigation to display properly in the search?
hi,
it should not affect the navigation. We are working to better optimize the menu for google in the following updates.

HI!
Thanks for notifying me. How long it might take for the next major update to come? Please be quick because I have a feeling that the mega menu is hurting m site’s seo.
Thanks
Hi,
the mentioned links are sitelinks that google takes from the most important sites of your page. In my case those are pages that are not even linked in the main navigation. But you can partly control that via webmaster tools: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=de
Make sure that you most important links get many internal links e.g. by a placed Top Pages Linklist in Footer or sidebar – and give it some time.
cheers,
Norman
