Get Ratings on All Your Posts From Readers

Posted on February 17, 2008 by Game Dame

new_rater_mockup.pngThis is WAY too cool not to post about. For those of you who are fellow bloggers, this is a totally awesome idea. You know how you can rate stuff on Amazon or BestBuy? Well, now you can add a 5-star rating gizmo to all your posts and get immediate feedback from your readers! How cool is that?

It’s called Outbrain and it is easy-peasy to install. Go, enjoy!

Seriously, this may be the Killer App that forces me to go to a WordPress.org hosted site instead of the freebie version.

    I think I’d be worried…and wouldn’t one’s ego take a bruising if no one rated your articles?

    (I have self-confidence issues.) :(

    Nah. It wouldn’t bother me. It’d be cool to see the things people would rather read about. I’m guessing they are judging the content more than the “writing” anyway. I mean, it’s all about customer service! LOL…

    OOOOOOO…O_o . I am getting this right now! Awesome little link. Thanks for the info!

    @Kestrel : I can see that (part of me is rocking in a corner right now), but it think people will be much more willing to rate an article than leave a comment. Like Game Dame said, it is a really good way to see what your readers really want to read. I am tired of ‘0′ comments and not knowing if it was enjoyed or not because there wasn’t any feedback. :D
