Why do recipes not show in search results?
My recipe Hubs include the following warning: there are one or more recipe capsules in this Hub but it will not appear as a recipe in search results. Why the heck not? Aren't we supposed to use the multiple recipe capsules?
When you started to publish your recipe hub did you click on the RECIPE category? You have a choice at this stage, Article, Video or Recipe. If you did not then this is the reason why. I am not sure if you can go back and fix this.
If you did click on RECIPE at this stage then the reason you are getting this message is because you must have the RATINGS capsule included in the recipe hub too. This is easily fixed. Go back to the hub and into edit. Add the ratings capsule.i
I noticed if you do not fill in the ratings capsule you get that message. But the recipe I looked at of yours seems to have that done.
Whatever, the ratings capsule is the key to getting it to show up in search results.
Yes, this is happening on a number of my Hubs and I like including text to round them out. Not sure why HubPages has to restrict number of capsules.

Why do some hubbers have their photos in the Google search results?Often when searching on Google a hub is in the search results. Sometimes the hubbers profile picture is in the search results. Why does this happen for some hubbers and not others?

I have been experimenting with Google to find new techniques to drive more search traffic and I found one that is quite silly but has doubled my traffic within about a week of updating my hub.Here it is: THE RATING CAPSULEIt's really quite silly, but I added a rating capsule to the bottom of my...

Many of us have had problems recently and historically with Google rankings and traffic. It's of course a huge issue for all online writers but especially those of us who depend upon it for a living.What happens, however, when Google's top search results are proven to be wholly inaccurate and...

When searching for unscrupulously borrowed copies of my work sometimes I come across results that don't seem to really be there. Even though I search for a sentence in quotes, and the SERPs shows that quote in my results, when I click on the link either the text isn't really there, or I get a...
