Do you use structured data in any of your websites?
For an affiliate, structured data might be used in reviews of online gaming sites, allowing information such as star ratings to be communicated to Google in a way that they are displayed in search results. For this week's poll, we ask if you are currently using any structured data on your sites and if you have plans to use structured data in the future. Besides voting in the poll, be sure to share your thoughts about structured data and how you think you might use it in the future.
