Ratepoint website review

I'm using it on my texo website. (Button is at the bottom of every page).
 
I don't think it affects my site stats, but I'm fortunate enough to have quite good reviews which can only help to convert visitors into clients. Ratepoint sends out weekly activity reports. Here's the one from last week:

Here's your RatePoint weekly activity summary report for 5/5/2008 - 5/11/2008

Most website visitors will glance at the seal to see your commitment to quality.
These views increase your customers trust in your website. Clicks are an additional indicator of interaction with your RatePoint account.
While clicks are not crucial to increased conversion, they are a strong indicator that a visitor viewed your profile before making a final purchasing decision!

But the commitment to quality thing ... how many people here know what that is :P ...
 
I think that's a bit of their marketing hype to keep me paying for the service :)
 
ha ha ... u must be gullible then ... cause u still pay :P ... at least u got 2 reviews :)
 
I think it is quite good. With the internet being so unregulated, it helps to show your site has some commitment to quality. I think it improves the trust of the site.
 
Thats why I have a link to oneshop.co.za on my site ... I have some reviews there ... but it doesn't cost money ... and the little button says trusted shop or something like that
 
No cons ... pros are you are listed in their directory. I have reviews on their site which I can refer people to as well ... its nice to have. It won't increase your sales much ... just gives people a better reason to trust you.
 
out of 1344 referring sites (So that excludes search engines and direct links and stuff), Oneshop sent 62 visitors in the last 31 days ... so its not impressive. Mybroadband sent 254 visitors :p

Is that from the link in your sig? I've run three advertising campaigns on mybroadband, and the results have been less than spectacular, unfortunately. Adwords works well for me.
 
Not sure ... my stupid statistics on the site for referals don't show me who actually purchased. I know from MyADSL ... its mostly just people looking around ... I think I've had 4 or 5 purchases from MyADSL ... not sure about Oneshop
Most of my purchases come from Pricecheck.

A lot is from links in my sig ... but its because I try help out with hardware stuff on the forum ... so people check me out for hardware ... but I'm also listed in WKJ:Beanie's Hardware and Software FAQ under recommended online stores ... so I'm sure that sends through a bit.
