Comments or Feedback
OK, OK, I think I have finally got it. Let me start by apologizing to any of the pages I have reviewed, if I did it wrong. Luckily I have only reviewed about 7 requests to date. Here is what I have learned.
When a request is made to review a PAGE: your only job is to view that one page of the entire webpage and make positive comments about the content as being relevant, the layout being attractive, or other helpful elements.
Feedback is a different thing: you let them know gently about content, grammatical improvements, broken links, formatting troubles, layout oddities, or other technical elements that you feel would improve their business.
The reason these two are distinctly different is because Comments go directly on the page for the whole world to view. I thought that we inside of WA reviewing/commenting/feedbacking had a special area that did not get posted for the world to see. Now I realize those stay with the page until the owner decides differently through their webpage dashboard settings.
I have been advised that feedback stays behind the scenes and is the place where you can use your experience to assist others with the tricky technical elements without worry of the rest of the world seeing the behind the scenes magic being revealed.
I hope I got it now! I will be doing my reviews in a totally different way in the future and this information really makes me excited to go and read single pages instead of attempting to look at the entire business with all the links, pages, posts, articles, references or anything else that I have been attempting to look through before commenting.
I'm not sure I have left any 'feedback' in the accurate fashion.
Again, Whew!, so much to learn.
If I missed anything, please gently share the information so I can learn it effectively. TIA

Hello Rita:
Where the site feedback is concerned, I think you have nailed that 100%.
As for page review, I can't see how we can tell someone every-thing is fine on their page if it is not. Things on that page may well need correcting too. Page review is different from site comment.
Where site comment is concerned, that is the one where we ignore any fault seen on the page and just deal with the content written. Here we make our comments relevant to what is stated. This one is connected to the site owner's ranking, (as a result of the interaction been done on their page). This is the one the world sees. It would be damaging to the owner to have their 'dirty laundry' i.e. poor grammar, spelling etc, etc being mentioned in public. So this is not the place for it, it's more for interaction. Here we ask positive questions, they reply and so forth. A 'bit' like what is happening right here on your blog. This is interaction.
Reviewing a page is completely different. I think this means, 'Is my page OK? If not please tell me so that I can fix it before I present it to the world!'
If I am wrong about page review Rita I do apologize. It simply means I have not got it yet either.
I will come back from time to time to view what other more experience members are saying here. This is important so i need to get it right.
There are blogs 'out there' on it, but I can't tell you whose.
Thanks for this post.

We are supposed to leave rate producing comments for public view and more detailed suggestions for private feedback. That is the crux (center point) of the two separate requests from us.
My understanding is that many of the pages and posts are already live, such as mine were published the same day I created them. Therefore, I am told that the comments we leave are not previews, rather they are live with the page content as soon as you submit them.
Of course, the poster has the option of either approving or disapproving them.
I wonder if there is a difference between posting directly to their posts or in the comment request area. I suppose both have to be approved before they go live, but I'm not sure yet.
Do you know the answer to that??
The first time I requested a page review I did it via private messaging. I just sent the page URL to specific people. They replied via private messages and I made the adjustments accordingly.
At that time I did not yet know about site feedback. I found out about site feedback soon after.
With site feedback people actually request what they want checking. Be it general, content, site layout, images and there's a 5th thing.
I never try to do the whole website if they requested content checking. I tend to start on the page I land on. If there is a lot of content and a lot of corrections necessary, I stay with that page.
When I document it I will tell them so. If the first page has not got too much needed, I will move to another page and repeat the process. By my documentation they can see which page/s I dealt with. I do it this way because the process can take much time.
Apart from private messaging I don't see how you can separate negative (constructive) comments once you use site comment. As you rightly say, it is live from they publish it, and so can be seen by all.
Regarding your question above, if there is a difference about where you post on their page? I doubt it.

Thank you for that information. I would like it if someone could take the time to critique my websites, but the more I work on them the more work it becomes for someone else. I spent over an hour going through one of my sites today, but did not edit it. I saw 2 typos and now have to go back and attempt to find them.
Edits are very time consuming. I would like to have someone go over it again as I am sure there are probably other changes that could be made. I do not think there is a method of that depth of feedback or is there?
If there is such a method, I am not aware of it.
To use Site feedback you have to do 2 peoples' feed backs to get one credit each. 2 credits then qualify you for 1 feed back.
Then there is the thread: This one is 3:1 to start in the system:
It may not be that amount thereafter. You can check it out here:
'Need website comments? the give and take comment thread':
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/authoring-writing.
You may have to do your sites page/post by page/post as I doubt anyone will give that needed amount of time in one go.
I will say more in a PM.
I hope this is all making sense to you.
EJ
EJ,
Thanks for the response. It makes perfect sense. I feel as though I am not getting much accomplished this week. I will be posting my dilemma in a blog soon.
Thanks. I hope it does help. Being rejected is never good especially when there is time waste also involved. :(
I'm sure there must be an official blog on this topic. I just don't recall all the steps. :(
I hope I'm closer to accurate now. :)
Awesome! This should make it much easier for me to do reviews in the future. Thanks for your input.
I think your understanding of how to give comments and feedback is pretty much on target. We are all learning here at different levels. You are doing fine, Rita. :)
Thanks J. I was wasting a lot of time going through each page of the websites and trying to summarize it. I had people rejecting my comments and now I understand why. They only wanted my attention on one page, not their life's work all in an hour. LOL.
I don't have to waste so much valuable time this way, now that I understand it better. Whew!
That's good Vera. I bet that simplified your life. (Sorry I couldn't resist). Lol. You can call me Jeannie. :)
Ha, ha...good one Jeannie. That's what this is all about for me, simplifying Rita's life. Vera was my aunt. ;) LOL.
I'm so sorry. That's what I get for relying on my memory, Rita. At least they both have 4 letters. That's similar, right??
LOL. You are funny. No problem. I just thought you'd like my response. You obviously have a great sense of humor.
LOL. We get so busy and there are so many out here. It's hard to keep everyone straight. I should put my name in every now and then to help with reference.
It's also very tempting to just go with the flow of ideas when writing a feedback and cheat. It's a matter of self-discipline too.
You confused me Pierre. Could you explain it better for me to understand your meaning with - "go with the flow of ideas when writing a feedback and cheat."?
