Dear all:

There is a Google feedback form that you can use to point Google to your shop if it uses GoodRelations markup.

This may speed-up the whitelisting process for Rich Snippets, i.e. you may get Rich Snippets for your products faster when you tell Google of your GoodRelations-empowered site.

Here is the URI:

    http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/request.py?contact_type=rich_snippets_feedback

For the question "Does your site use hidden markup?", answer

* "yes"

if you are using a shop extension like Magento MSemantic. Other than Google indicates on the pages, this markup is perfectly accepted by Google unless you use it for manipulative purposes. As an explanation, you can post:

"Our site uses RDFa in the GoodRelations snippet-style, because this is the only feasible way of adding respective markup automatically via a shop extension module. We are using the <name of the module> module; our shop runs on <name of the shop software>."

For the question, "What markup format does your site use?", check 

* RDFa

In general, we see now pretty quick and broad acceptance of rich snippets for shops with GoodRelations markup.

Best wishes
