I added rich snippets markup to my review site almost a month ago and submitted it to Google, but rich snippets (the little stars for reviews) still aren't showing up. I read in a couple places it can take up to a YEAR. Anyone know how to accelerate this process? Very frustrating!
It seems like sending pings would get it done faster if we were talking about a time period of hours or days, but I've read articles and forum posts that say it can take months. My site has been crawled many times since adding the mark up, so how do pings help? (Btw, I did it anyway just in case, but I'm just curious.)
