Schema.org Microdata for eCommerce sites


A Lot of studies online talk about an increase in 20-30 percent organic traffic using schema.org.
Schema.org provides a collection of shared vocabularies webmasters can use to mark up their pages in ways that can be understood by the major search engines: Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo!

Some Relevant Tags for E commerce tags:
http://schema.org/Product

e.g.:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">
  <span itemprop="name">zinog 55 inch TV</span>
  <img src="zinog-tv-55in.jpg" alt="">
  <div itemprop="aggregateRating"
    itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating">
   Rated <span itemprop="ratingValue">3</span>/5
   based on <span itemprop="reviewCount">11</span> customer reviews
  </div>

http://schema.org/Offer
e.g.
 <div itemprop="offers" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
    <span itemprop="price">$600.00</span>
    <link itemprop="availability" href=" http://schema.org/OutOfStock ">Out of Stock
 </div>

http://schema.org/Review
e.g.
<div itemprop="reviews" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Review">
    <span itemprop="name">Yo Camera</span> -
    by <span itemprop="author">Yo Boss</span>,
    <time itemprop="publishDate" datetime="2012-01-15">Jan 15, 2012</time>
    <div itemprop="reviewRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating">
      <meta itemprop="worstRating" content="1">
      <span itemprop="ratingValue">3</span>/
      <span itemprop="bestRating">5</span>stars
    </div>
    <span itemprop="description">The Yo Camera is a revolution.</span>
  </div>


This is interesting for SEO, just thought of adding it here, How Google perceives web pages.

  9. When it comes to e-commerce, aside from these mind-cracking letters (I know, but for your business, right?), make sure that you sail with the clients' needs, not just your suggestions for their companies. Use enhanced user-friendly features to keep you unique from potential competitors of your field. And this time, forget the line "mind your own business". Keep in touch with the latest. Maybe it's "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" time.
