At the rate at which new info-products are launched sometimes it’s difficult to distinguish between what’s hot and what’s not. That’s why sites like Amazon depend so highly on reviews and ratings for its survival. Think about it: how many times have you returned to a rating and review site to get information, and then later bought from that same site! It’s interesting to note that Amazon is not a specialty site in anything specific. It sells everything from pots and pans (do a search “pots and pans”) to books. If not for reviews, it absolutely has no credibility!

On the other hand, you can attract and build a community of review writers who are seeking to raise their profile (and a link back to their sites). You can take this advantage of your customers’ opinions, reviews, thoughts to build up consistently repeating traffic who desires more believable information. It’s a win-win situation for the writers, consumers, merchants (as honest feedback) and YOU, the webmaster!

Thus, for these reasons that will help to boost your websites’ attractiveness, I would like to recommend something called Rating Dominator.

This plugin has a variety of uses, but in short will add some excellent interactivity to almost any blog, regardless of subject matter. For those operating review-based sites it will be even more attractive as a must-have add-on.

You’ve probably seen many WordPress blogs with ratings on their individual posts and or comments, and Rating Dominator enables you to add this functionality quickly and easily. People like to offer feedback and feel more involved, particularly with blogs they are fond of reading on a regular basis, and enabling them to give you feedback and ratings on what you write, in addition to the regular comment field is a nice little extra.

Installation of the plugin is as easy as downloading and extracting the zip file, uploading it to your plugins folder, activating it in your admin panel and setting the options you prefer.

Without getting any more long-winded, download Rating Dominator, your FREE ratings WordPress plugin.
