At 8:00 PM, EST, PodasterWhosWho.com released a brand new service where podcasters can review and rate other podcasters. Anybody visiting the PodcasterWhosWho.com web page of any member can add their opinion of the podcast as well as provide a rating from 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best).
It’s pretty easy too. Reviewers simply need to log into their PodcasterWhosWho.com web page, select any podcaster they enjoy, select a rating and finally type in their review. The reviewed podcaster simply gets an email asking him/her to log in and accept or delete the review. Any accepted reviews automatically show up on their member page.
Now, it does not stop there, because starting in the middle of September 2007, we will be displaying a listing of the highest rated podcasters. The podcasters with the highest ratings will appear first, getting more links and downloads to their podcast. How does this rating system work, you ask? It’s simple, but has four steps:
-
The number of reviews you receive for your podcaster
-
The podcasters with the highest rating score (the total of the 1 to 5 rating system)
-
The number of podcasts you review
-
The most recent reviews
That’s it. So, in other words, your highest score along with the highest AMOUNT of reviews, coupled with reviews that were submitted recently will have the highest ratings.
So, it makes sense to add your PodcasterWhosWho.com page to your web site, blog, and Myspace page, along with any other place where you get traffic.
We are also developing an API to provide you the benefit of listing your reviews on your web site and blog. We are also preparing an audio promo to tell people to review you on PodcasterWhosWho.com.
That’s it for now. You can always go onto the PodcasterWhosWho.com Google Group and ask people to review you as well or if you have questions.
