Often times visitors to your website would like to hear what others are saying about your products, services or info that you have posted on your website. Having a review system which supports user feedback can help meet the visitor needs.

Reviews are fairly easy to implement and administer as it is really up to the visitors to create the reviews...all the site admin needs to do is make sure the system works properly. The obvious benefit is that the visitors are creating the website content in this system.

Reviews can be applied to many types of objects, including written articles, pictures, videos, products, etc. However, the burden is on the site administrator to ensure that no inappropriate reviews are posted on their website. To accomplish this, the review system can use a method of email notification and admin acceptance of each review if the number of reviews is limited. If the number of reviews get very large, additional help will be needed in the same way that added moderators are needed if visitor forums become very popular.
