What are Rich Snippets?

 

Rich snippets are a type of on-page HTML mark-up that appear in search results so that the user can garner a better understanding of what is on the page as well as what the page is about. This data allows users faster access to information on your page and a another way for you to optimize your page for higher rankings in search engine results. Rich snippets are a great way to add flair to your ecommerce product pages when they appear in search results and to differentiate your ecommerce website from your competitors in the search engine results that surround you.

There are three supported formats: Microdata, Microformats, RDFa. For more information on the more technical aspects of rich snippets, check out Google's Webmaster Tools article on them here.
