I research about how google answer work then I found your blog. I think rich snippets can be very useful if done properly, I have tried to do it but I didn’t make it.

Your last point is a plausible side benefit. If people notice your site being featured in a Google answer box, it may add to the credibility of your brand.

If I get it right, this should be my first time reading this blog, right?
That’s by the side, I have been thinking on what benefits Google rich answers will bring to the site that got featured – traffic wise.
Judging from my own experience as a search engines user, I can say it will benefits the featured website more than it will cause any decline in search traffic.
Except for such query like that of weather forecast you gave above, I usually click through to the featured website to learn more about the subject.
And in my opinion, getting featured for a search query in Google search engines could help prove to that user that your website is absolute an authority in that field or topic.
What can you say about that?
Thanks Mark.
