Today I am going to write about an interesting Post Rating widget developed by Outbrain.com . This Post Rating Widget is available for all blogging services like Wordpress.com , blogger , typepad , drupal , etc . A Similar Post rating widget is developed by draft.blogger.com and is found here at Star Rating Widget
Advantages of this Post rating Widget :
1. Know your readers opinion about the post
2. Drive More traffic ( Outbrain has a feature called Recommended Posts which is embedded within rating Widget , So outbrain users who have enabled this feature will show your post . )
3. We can also display Most Popular posts with this post Rating Widget.
How to Add This Widget to your Blogger Blog ?
It’s very simple . Visit http://www.outbrain.com and register an account ( to track traffic and details ). While registering , check this box (Yes – I want to install the outbrain widget and/or access my blog’s reports ) .
After this step , claim your blog by filling your blog Details and click continue. A new tab/ window will open and just choose your blog . outbrain will install the widget automatically.
