Hello!
I'm thinking about alternative ways of rating pictures to make it more entertaining and also get visitors to make a few more pageviews
The probably easiest one and i think maybe even best approach for most of 4images webmasters is a Hot or Not type rating. The picture is displayed and only 2 choices HOT or NOT, GOOD or BAD, LIKE or DONT LIKE. This way images would have an easy and accurate percentage over total votes. The icons representing this could be hands up or hands down.
The other solution i'm very interested in myself is a sort of picture shootout. 2 pictures are shown at the same time. User decides which one wins. The winner gets a WIN point and the looser a LOSS point. Then a winning percentage could be calculated to display the most popular pictures.
Does anybody want to take the challenge and do something like this? I want to try the 2nd option myself but with my coding experience it wont be finished before Xmas
