Hello Michael,

First our compliments again. Still works great! For our visitors (future clients) the rotating testimonials are really having a huge impact. Like our previous clients are talking to them:)

But... It would be even better if the (average) stars and amount of testimonials are shown in Search results of Google and Bing! Because then they have an (extra) reason to visit our site. Till now I did not see stars or amount of testimonials (reviews) appear.

You already implemented schema.org in your plugin. In the source of our webpages I see reviewrating, reviewcount and agrregatereating appear with the total amount of our testimonials.

Therefore the question: Is it possible to get the code wright for the search engines to show stars and amount of reviews in the search results? To me it seems your plugin is ever so close to get those results, which would mean an added value to all your users:) I will donate you a nice meal with Dutch beer if you succeed!

Greetings Stefan Vogel from The Netherlands. (www.neverrest.net)

(just an example: search "teambuilding nederland". the hit with http://www.hollandevenementengroep.nl gives average rating and amount of reviews.)
