What is the current status quo of the Semantic Web as first mentioned by Tim Berners Lee in 2001? Not only 10 blue links can drive you traffic anymore, Google has added many so called Knowlegde cards and panels to answer the specific informational need of their users. Sounds complicated, but it isn’t. If you ask for information, Google will try to answer it within the result pages. I'll share my research from a theoretical point of view through exploring patents and papers, and actual testing cases in the live indices of Google. Getting your site listed as the source of an Answer Card can result in an increase of CTR as much as 16%. How to get listed? Come join my session and I'll shine some light on the factors that come into play when optimizing for Google's Knowledge graph.
