Look at how a simple Google search for computer monitors has changed in the past year (below). Study it. It may not be long before all of your search results look this way.
Earlier this month, Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, simultaneously announced support for a new set of standards that can now be found at http://schema.org. The set of standards set forth are not entirely unlike http://sitemaps.org.
HTLM 5 Tags
Essentially, webmasters now have a huge wealth of HTML 5 tags. They can use these tags with their sites. The purpose is to enhance how search engines and other spidering devices understand the content.
Imagining the level of understanding this gives the major search engines about what you do, and how they can now compare you in their results, integrating these tags makes it seem like a no-brainer. The competition involving recreations on the search engine results page, which Bing initiated, is far from finished. Consequently, your SEO will likely experience numerous further impacts.
Perhaps to our clients here that are hosting SEO projects that have any level of seriousness, it’s time to start on that HTML 5 upgrade.
