Dear all:

There is growing evidence that using GoodRelations + RDFa in shop sites 
brings immediate benefits for current business and current search engine 
technology, in addition to the future benefits in terms of visibility on 
the Web of Linked Data.

See

and

http://www.solutions-answers-results.com.au/index.php/Ways-to-Improve-Your-Website/How-To-Get-Ranked-Without-Resorting-to-Outdated-SEO-Tactics.html 


The second reports on a controlled experiment and can show GoodRelations 
would be justified on the Google rank gain alone, even without 
considering the additional visibility in the linked data world.

An my Google findings at

still hold, of course.

Best wishes
