I found out about them at Blogworld, but it works on affiliate sites.

Five free tools

1. Comments Widget
* Foster a social network on your site
* Encourage valuable user-generated content
* Let you communicate directly with your visitors
* Provide fully-featured commenting engine for your site

2. Ratings widget
# Build trust and foster online community
# Turn occasional visitors into active contributors
# Provide valuable data to guide your business decisions

3. Reviews Widget
# Improve conversion rates, pageviews and overall user experience
# Combine the power of comments and ratings in a single service
# Bring "social search" to your online offerings

4. Polls Widget
* Add variety and interactivity to your site
* Gather and share community opinions
* Can be used as a marketing, research or entertainment tool


5. Navigator Widget

* Highlights your site's most popular content
* Simplifies content management, saving you time and money
* Lowers bounce rates and drives pageviews


I combined the ratings and review widgets. There was NO learning curve - lol

Took about one minute to change "Was this article helpful" to "Rate this Product", and I changed the color of the rating stars to match my site

For me - on an affiliate site - not a blog - it provides instant visitor feedback and keeps them on my site a little longer, and the search engines like when my visitors stay

Your product is great - and so was your support!!

Khris was right there... he asked Phillipe to help me... way cool

Now I spend my day checking my refer logs... see what page they went to... and see if they rated the product.

You need a way to bar my ex-wife from leaving comments

Nice list. I think these are all important to every affiliate marketer since they need to be reliable cause they are selling products. Ratings and reviews are the two most important factors that can affect the decision of the consumers.
