How Do I Join in the Fun?
Register for the contest by sending an email to contest@rateitall.com and include your active RateItAll account nickname. The contest starts at 12:01AM on March 10th, and runs through midnight, Tuesday, March 17th. You can join at any time prior to March 17th, but only Local Business reviews written after registration will be considered for the contest. We will send you a registration confirmation email once you have been set up.
How Do I Earn Points?
Points are super easy to earn. You will get 20 points for each new Quality Review of a Local Business (at least 3 sentences explaining your rating). You can earn an extra 20 points if you add a new Local Business in the process of leaving a Quality Review (Add an Item Here).
Any Local Business in Particular?
You can write about any local business in your hometown or a place you've visited. Here are some ideas we came up with to get the creative juices flowing.
Review your favorite:
- coffee shop for people watching
- sports bar to watch the game
- romantic restaurant for a date
- moving company for fragile items
- farmers market for quality produce
- hair salon for curly hair
- bakery for kid's birthday cakes
- auto mechanic for reliable service
Good luck and have fun!

ReplyDeleteI sent an email to contest@rateitall.com this morning, but have not yet received a confirmation email. Do reviews that I wrote after I sent my email count towards the contest, or do I have to wait until my confirmation email appears? Because I have a few reviews I want to write, but I want to make sure they count.
ReplyDeleteTwan, we can count anything after 12:01 towards the contest. I'll take this post to mean that you're in.
ReplyDeleteOK, thanks. That's great because I already wrote a couple new reviews this morning.
ReplyDeleteDear sirs or madammes,
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of a problem leaving comments. Mainly I have the following questions:
1) How Do I Join in the Fun?
2) How Do I Earn Points?
Thank you for your considerations.

Hi P,
ReplyDeleteTo join the contest, send an email to contest@rateitall.com with your RateItAll.com username.
Then visit www.rateitall.com to start earning points. For each quality review that includes 3 sentences explaining your rating of a local business you will earn 20 points. You can earn an extra 20 points if you also add a new business we don't already have in our database in the process of leaving a review! To add an item use this link: http://www.rateitall.com/AddItem.aspx
Good luck!
I also sent an email to contest@rateitall.com this morning, but have not yet experienced fun. Is there something wrong with me?
ReplyDeleteShould I just kill myself?
If the answer is yes, please indicate this by doing nothing...
please don't confuse this website with www.rapeitall.com as I did. All I can say is, BIG disappointment.
ReplyDeleteQUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCALL ON ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the internet?
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI received an email linking me to this page, but I think you have made a mistake. I do not "love to review Local Businesses [sic]." I also do not consider myself "folk."
That aside, I would also have to disagree that you have great prizes. The Flip Video camcorder gets a rating of 3/5 from users at CNet, a great review site, and still only 4/5 on your own site. I would have called that a decent prize, maybe a good prize...definitely not a great one. The use of "great prizes" in the plural is also troubling; a RateItAll Happy Star T-Shirt is downright crap.
This page should probably read more like:
"We're running a new contest at RateItAll for all you kind sirs and madams who wound up on our mailing list by rating a random friend who happened to end up on your site, or did something else that you now realize as regrettable because it landed you on this mailing list...We have some mediocre prizes in store for those of you who are so worthless that you will actual waste time trying to win in one of the multiple ways noted below..."
I hope this was helpful; I'm sure you do not want to confuse your clientele.

ReplyDeleteIn case you didn't realize, "Local Businesses" is a youtube video, and that is the ONLY thing they want you to review. Perhaps they should have made that clearer

I can't find www.Rapeitall.com. I think The Man took it down.
