What is site rating and what benefits do users get from it?
The site rating is used by users in a few ways. It benefits users both as consumers and web-users (reading the site rating indication) and as people wishing to express their opinion (using the site rating to vote).

As users wishing to express our opinions, site rating can benefit us:
Many times we might have an opinion about a website we reach. We might have bought something on the website and got great service or we might have had a less pleasant shopping experience. We might have found a wonderful blog with helpful or insightful posts or we might have found a suggestion that didn’t help us. Many times as consumers we wish to share and express our opinion with other users or our own friends. The only way to do this today is to either send an explicit email, make direct contact or post something about it on our blog or in a discussion form. This is not an easy or quick activity. WebSpeakup site rating comes to address this issue. It’s easy for anyone with a single quick click to give our feedback through site rating on any website or webpage we surf. If we feel the need to express ourselves just click, let everyone else know about it!
As user reaching new website, site rating can benefit us:
We reach many new sites. We aren’t always sure the website is beneficial or not of high quality, what other people might think of it, or what’s the community opinion about it. We can of course go out and try to find information about it on the web. Do we really want to spend the time looking for it?!
As consumers the site rating provides us a quick community opinion about the site we have just reached. WebSpeakup site rating has a stars indicator and number of votes. This allows us to understand quickly if we have reached a website that others view as a good and popular (high site rating and many votes), unknown (very few votes or none on site rating) or not trustworthy or unprofessional site (low site rating by many people). This means we no longer have to look for more information on the website, to check if it is in fact a good website or not any other time consuming methods. We can always look at the site rating and tap into community opinion expressed through a simple and easy to understand indicator (stars site rating and number of votes).
Summary:
The benefits from site rating are very clear. As people using the web we now can say what we think quickly and easily, help other not fall into traps or find recommendations easily and discover new sites. As people consuming web information and shopping for products we can quickly tap into the knowledge of others and instantly hear what others think and if we should continue spending time on the website we have currently reached or should we spend time on other more beneficial sites. It’s easy to see the many benefits from site rating.
