Ratings Not Showing In Google Search, the only way to activate stars for your website Options

[FireFly3000]

Hello
I thought that the 4.0 version of Microformats SEO votes for Joomla was going to solve the problem by ratings not showing in Google searches But maybe it is just something with my setup that is wrong.... So hope you can help me.

My ini file looks like this:

[RUN]
view = article
#layout =
#task =

id_par = id
context = com_content.article
#skip = 2889, 2906

stars = 1
novote = 0
position = after </h2>
HTML_before = <div style="clear:both;margin:7px 0">
HTML_after = </div>

or maybe I will have to set it up from the administration area? But I can't find anything about it. As I remember in the old version you could choose among some different setups, can't you do that any more? And what is the best setup?

BTW: The site is secretinvizimals.com

Hope you can help

There is no "best setup", is now the only one offical supported by google format - svhema.org.

Please open link to google's rich snippets test tool. There are no errors - this mean that our plugin work ok and is well configured.

All others is between google and your website. You can open here rich snippets request in google webmaster tools - ask to activate this option for your website.

On just finished Seo conference 2013 in Bulgaria (22 March 2013) i speak with one of Google moderators (and Search quality team member) Mariya Moeva and Mariya also told me that this is the only way.

Note that in google rules is written: there is no warranty that stars will be shown for every website. So, stars work only for selected websites.

If not work, ask in google webmaster forums. Google say about stars "no warranty". Without any reasons, rich snippets are switched off for our website 3dwebdesign.org also - an this is from more than 9 months!

I think the reason to "not show rich snippets" for our site in Google is automated and is due on numbers of "rich snippets spam" reports from competitors (3dwebdesign.org have really many competitors, we are ranked top in google for every of top 10 bulgarian keywords).

And result is.... no rich snippets in Google


But you can see how 3D Web Design website looks in Bing - stars are enabled and working for most of internal articles pages.
