spotback wordpress plugin

Description - The Spotback Wordpress plugin enables simple integration of rating component into your blog. By using this tool, all your users can rate your posts.

This plugin allows you to choose the rating components you like, or even design your own, exactly the way you like them. The custom design can be done by using the Spotback widget designer.

Create your own: slider, stars and more

Spotback rating widgets are different from other rating widgets as the ratings are used for creating “Top Stories” and “Personal Recommendations” for your readers, within your blog. The widgets also allow user to tag, and to view other users that rated the same stories. The outcome is a great online experience for your users and more pageviews for you!

The plugin requires no changes in your database or any special install procedures. It works with or without “Wordpress Widgets”.
