New Rating Places Interface

By admin, 24 January, 2010, No Comment

In order to provide you with the best personalized suggestions for restaurants hotels and other services we need to learn about your tastes.   We learn about your tastes by examining the ratings you give places you’ve been.  In order to make rating places easier for you we are going through a number of site changes.  Our first is a new rate places interface that allows you to quickly type in the name of a place you want to rate and rate it with just a few clicks and keystrokes.

We’ve still kept our old interface where we suggest some places for you to rate based on their popularity.  Using these two tools you should be able to rate a number of places and begin getting personalized suggestions in no time.

Click here to try out the new rate places and begin getting personalized suggestions.

Narrowed Focus = Improved Suggestions

By admin, 17 January, 2010, No Comment

We’ve made a decision at theSUGGESTR.com to focus primarily on providing suggestions for restaurant and travel related services.  This includes restaurants, hotels, bars and clubs.  Previously our site held ratings for a number of other types of services (banks, grocery stores, shopping, etc).  However, due to the nature of our unique and powerful suggestion engine it is important to have a more focused set of ratings.  By narrowing our focus we will (and already are) provide you with better suggestions which is our primary goal.

So rate some more places and get some new and improved suggestions!

In our journey to provide the best personalized suggestions for local restaurants and businesses we are pleased to announce the creation of our Blog Affiliate Program.  This program is designed to allow “Foodie”, Restaurant or local business review blogs take advantage of our similarity and suggestion engine to find new user’s who have similar interests and tastes, thus driving new and quality traffic.  For us (and our users) these new ratings will help drive better suggestions.

For bloggers, the best part about this program is that it requires basically ZERO work.  Just write your review blog and we’ll review it and create ratings on our site which will then be used to find user’s with similar tastes and help drive new suggestions.

You can learn more about this program and how to register by clicking here.
