Style google search result like stackoverflow using microformat

It's for a while I'm researching on the microformat for styling my site information different in google result page.

I found some detail about microformat in this links:

that will have result like this : enter image description here

Now, I'm trying to find out could I manipulate microformats to force google show my site information in result page, just like do it for stackoverflow or other most popular sites :

Or Is it possible to do that...?!?!?

Thanks in advance...

Solution

You can't force Google to show your website and sub pages like the Stack Overflow example you posted. Your search term was stackoverflow and so the information displayed on the results page was far and away the most relevant. Hence why it displays like that.

If someone searched for your website by name you might get a result like that. You'll need to submit an xml sitemap to Google Webmaster Tools, give it time to index and hopefully your website name will be unique enough.

I guess the main thing is that your website is first on Google's results page for a given search term and the sitemap shows Google what your other pages are.

With respect to microdata - it's really good for giving extra information to search engines. The CSS-tricks one is a perfect example. You'd need a Google+ profile and using the microdata specify that profile as the author.

Again, Webmaster Tools has some great Microdata validation tools. You can even load your pages source code up, highlight the text you want to tag and it'll show you exactly what tags to add and how so it works. Link below:
