Which rich snippet is better for SEO ?

[lans2787]

Hello guys, I have rich snippet on my blog, actually I have 2 kinds of them... rating star and authorship... both of them apears on google when my site appears on the results... BUT.... just one of them by time.

I notice that when someone rating one of my blog post, then in the google results for that post, It will show the stars and not the face of author and vice versa..

So I would like to know about your experience, wich one is better for seo and gain clicks, authorship or star rating ?

It depends. Here is how I prefer my snippets:

If its an article or blog post I prefer authorship.

If its a business page, service page, review, testimonials page, product page, etc. I prefer star rating.

Hope this helps

I agree with Vadim.

Authorship is normally for articles while ratings are for reviews. Having a rating on an article is not as useful as having it for a review.
