New Google Search Option - Forum / Review Search

[thisisdurham]

Hi,
As you know Google has recently updated its search and included a new 'search options' which allows you to search forums, reviews and videos.

So, my question is;

How do you classify your website so that Google knows you have a forum or a review site?

Cheers

Its done by algorithm

Yes it is not that difficult for Google to recognize forums and review sites. They could basically append 'forum' or 'review' to the end of any search. Obviously almost every site that is a forum or review site would use that keyword in their page and/or in their links.

I haven't heard or seen the new search option!

Google can see the platform use on the website.

Google has alot of ways to crawl different sites, blog, forum for indexing thats why they don't show unusual text on the search result just the the important parts.
So google knows
