Microformats & Search Engines

I got a link to an article from the Microformats Wikipedia Page that was written more than a year ago titled How microformats affect search engine optimization ( SEO ). Here is a quote:

One day search engine spiders will need to accommodate microformats.

Let’s face it, one day search engines will have no choice but to take microformats into consideration and they will certainly benefit because of doing so. Microformats provide valuable data that people are interested in, just like Technorati pushed elemental microformats to a level of common widespread use (although most don’t realize it), another popular site could just as easily leverage compound microformats causing even more need for engines to begin distinguishing microformats from standard webpage content. It’s a snowball effect that is happening right this moment.

In other words, we are right on the spot with Kupa. :)
