“Reviewing” websites on AboutUs

by KristinaWeis on 12 August 2008

As you probably know, the bread and butter of AboutUs is information about websites and domain names. Everyone can edit or add an overview of the website, its contact information, related domains, categories, logo, and so on.

But oftentimes we have knowledge or experience of website that would lend itself more fittingly to something along the lines of a review. That’s where AboutUs’ InfluenceUs feature comes in. The idea here is to leave constructive feedback for a website by posting a comment on their AboutUs page aimed at helping them improve (e.g. influencing them). By explaining what you are delighted or frustrated about it gives the website valuable information on how their operation is being received and how it can improve, and they can even address an InfluenceUs post by replying to it. Also, because these comments are in the public domain they give visitors to the website’s AboutUs page another eye into the website based on this person’s experience.

Try it out by clicking the InfluenceUs button at the top of a domain page on AboutUs. For more information see our page on using InfluenceUs.
