Yes, You read that title correctly!

In the past couple of days I have used the SiteFeedback platform after reading another Member here at WA's blog.

In the past I have requested comments on specific articles on my website and many times what I received was feedback on my entire site and/or on that post :)

The SiteComment platform is also much less active than the SiteFeedback platform as I have experienced in the past couple of days. When requesting comments to a particular post and/or posts, it would many times go unanswered for quite a while until I would end up canceling the request then requesting on my newest post .......

With the Feedback platform here at Wealthy Affiliate, I requested 25 Feedback just a couple of days ago and have already received 18 of them!

In that same amount of time, I would have been surprised if I received 2 legitimate and true comments using the comment platform.

Not only was the Feedback platform much more active, it was way more productive as well!

I have been able to accept the constructive criticism, in my opinion, my website is better now than ever before.

That brings me back to the reason for this post and it's title "Feedback from Newbies is many times more valuable than from Experts!"

How can a Newbies advice be valuable and even more valuable than an Experts, You ask?

Well, the advice/feedback from Experts can and many times is clouded by their years of doing something in a specific way, therefore it's harder for them to look at a website from a different perspective. (Not always, some are able to look impartially)

Newbies on the other hand are coming from a whole different angle and many times from more the same place as our targeted audience will be coming from .......

Now do You see why in the past couple of days that the feedback I received from 15 Newbies was more valuable than that I received from the 3 more refined Experts in websites being user-friendly, visually appealing, quality content, ease of navigation, calls to action, selling without selling etc....

I did also receive great feedback from the 3 more experienced Friends/Members here at Wealthy Affiliate and did also implement changes based upon their feedback, thoughts, ideas and recommendations.

I realize that I have already thanked the Friends who have already provided me with Feedback to my site, I am now thanking you all again. Also, if You haven't yet utilized the SiteFeedback platform, I would love to highly recommend that You all do. I've been earning an income online since 2007, have been and am involved with many communities and would simply love to say that the Wealthy Affiliate Community is by far the most helpful, caring, knowledgeable and diverse community on the Planet! Thank You all, All of our continued success is my daily Prayer.

I look forward to receiving and giving more quality feedback at the SiteFeedback platform (Not via Private Message) Don't SPAM, Just say no to spam!

Feedback or Comment?

Sharing is Caring my Friends & don't ever forget that some of the most valuable information and feedback that you could ever receive could very well come from a Newbie!

Stop private messaging the "Experts" and use the Site Feedback platform, you'll see much more results, that I well know for sure!

It also helps me with ideas for my own site. I love looking at the different sites and providing feedback.

Tony,

As a software developer for many years I know exactly what you are saying. We would always pass our finished code off to a team that would do Quality Assurance.

This team was not programmers and many didn't even know how the product worked. Which in a testing environment is exactly what you want.

People that know how something works are the worst testers. Because they don't try the obscure ways to do something that a new user would.

Another great post Thanks,
- Glen B

I agree with you Tony.

Newbies are a welcomed breath of fresh air when it comes to providing feedback and comments.

Their input and responses are akin to what our wider audience would report.

Thanks for this post .
I love the site feedback platform but as for the site comment...my post sits there for days before I even receive 1 comment.

A very brilliant analysis, my friend! Your assessment of this topic is right on key and it's such a wonderful reminder! I will take this post to heart!

Erin :)!

Thanks for that. "Sometimes the experts are too sensitive to allow less than a perfect comment or feedback to be allowed and criticize the person doing the commenting." Most of the time the comment or feedback is being done with no malice or bad intentions but with true unbiased comments.
