I have seen this on many blogs (the one which get huge amount of daily visitors) and it somehow does not receives the votes which can help the reader..!

even I installed a similar widget on my blog but it didn't get the response. Looks like people do not have the time to actually leave a vote.

by the way why didn't you install it on DI? ;)

and hey your after I clicked on the comments link it didn't open up as a pop-up. I guess the pop-up way for commenting is better. Just my view.

I gave this a try, but it somehow managed to un-center all of my images. If not for that little glitch, it would be pretty cool!

Hi Amit,

Good Morning........

Most of site visitors can not write proper comments on different articles but only few visitors inspire and write good comments. Some people can understand but they can not express their feeling in words. They simple leave comments.

People comment improve site author's interest and can write more effective articles for site visitors. Author takes responsibility about each article to give good information. Each author expect proper response but they can't. Site author descries at that time if no one does not comment on articles.

But, Rating method is very simple and easy method to collect the Feedback from visitors. Almost all users give rating. The average rating gives final Comment of the total visitors. So, this method really works when compared to the comments.

Thanks you for your suggestion..........

Even JS-Kit offers similar ratings for blogs. When I tried to install it for individual posts it went crazy.

Thanks a lot Amit, for sharing this information. Very usefull widget, I have added the same to my blog.

Hi Amit,

I installed the widget. But Now I find it is cluttering already cluttered blog.

Can you tell me, how to get rid of this now?
This was added automatically to my blogger-hosted blog when i followed the instructions.

Thanks Amit.. I have added the widget to my blog too.. I think through this I will be getting good feedback from my post as many don't post a comment..

Hey Seeji - I wanted to reach out and help you with your rating widget. For some reason your blog url did not come through on the comments. You can ping me at john@outbrain.com and we can take a look at your integration. Best regards, John

Hey Salman - This is John from outbrain. You make a good point about some people not rating. From our experience integrating our ratings on blogs and within rss readers, the number of rates seems to increase over time as more people see the rater and make it part of their consumption experience. On this first post Amit has logged ratings from 36 readers which is a good start.

Additionally, to help bloggers make the most out of every rating, we offer a free "Blog Intelligence Report" that displays data and analytics of each post's ratings and popularity rank. Our goal here is to help bloggers understand what content works best for their audience. If you want to give our rating widget and "Blog Intelligence Report" a try you can shoot me an email at john (at) outbrain (dot) com. Thanks, John

hi everyone;
I tried the ratings for my blog. it is a good looking star rating. I put it to my video posts. it worked good in firefox but when I open my blog with ie-7 my video doesen't appear everythings appear properly but not the video. I use multi_swf_player. and I don't solve the problem why this is happening...
thanks.

Thanks for the widget, I'm trying it in my blog, I translated it into french, www.hicham.us
thanks

Is this available to wordpress.com users too?

Ive been using this plugin on my sites since it came out of beta. Must say one of the easiest plugins for wordpress or blogger.
