Like we’ve said before, Noobing always strives to improve.

And here’s a way to make your live feedback more effective for the advertisers whose sites you view—right now!

As you’re Noobing, you can tell advertisers specifically what you like or what you don’t like about their websites. It’s simple. Along with the required star rating, you have the ability to let them know what you think—so they can optimize their sites’ effectiveness.

These categories are available in the “Flag this site?” drop down box:

1. Annoying Sound
You may appreciate that cool Space Invaders’ laser sound on your 1980’s video game website, or your cuddly canine’s Monday morning bark on your veterinarian business’ site—but do others? Now you’ll know whether to keep it, change it, or kick it.

2. Error on Site
Spelling or grammar issues, links that don’t work or other problems. Let ‘em know!

3. Inappropriate Site
This is a family show—need you say more?

4. Not a Product or a Service.
Ever get tired of the phony promises, rambling rackets and bunk blueprints for a lifetime of E-Z happiness? Flag the flimflam.

5. Site Blocked
Did a 300 pound football lineman prevent you from making it to the line of scrimmage? No, there was a technical error that stopped you from viewing the site with the prompt, “Site Blocked.” The website owner will probably want to know, if they don’t know already.

6. Site has Pop Ups
Let the advertiser know that those pop ups are just as annoying as that Jack-in-the-Box your little brother wouldn’t stop playing with when you were kids. Aarrgghh!

7. Site Loads Slowly
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock…you don’t have all day. You have business to attend to!

8. Site Not Found Error
This should be self explanatory—did they get to see your “World’s Greatest Online Baseball Card Collection?” Doubtful.

Don’t take the power of live feedback lightly. Real time constructive criticism will help all advertisers in the Noobing community—you and them!

But please, save these flags for sites that really deserve them. We constantly monitor these ratings and use them to remove sites from the rotator. We have to review every one…and wouldn’t you prefer that we concentrate on adding more cool new features?
