I am running a blogging tips niche blog -http://bloghelpline.com Here I read a lot about recent semantic web update in Google in the name of Hummingbird Algorithm. And, according to the new search algorithm update, it insist the webmasters to use microformats on their blog to improve search engine visibility. I didn't find any plugin stuffing Microformats, is there any way to add microformats to a wordpress blog post manually? Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • Microformats are nothing more than defined class and rel values, basically.

    So when you want to use a specific Microformat, look it up in the wiki and see how it has to be marked up.

    In WordPress, depending on the Microformat and your content, you could add it to the HTML of your theme or as HTML in each post.
