Feedback and General Suggestions for dooyoo

Firstly I would like to point out that I think Dooyoo is a fantastic site and one I enjoy using over and above virtually every other site. I am a true addict, and unless I am on holiday or can't get to a computer, then I log in every day (usually numerous times a day), without fail. I consider myself to have little staying power but Dooyoo has managed to keep me well and truly hooked for nearly a year now, which is not an easy feat. Whilst it is a great site, it does have some flaws, which is to be expected, after all nothing is perfect, and I think there are some ways this site could be improved. In my opinion, the suggestions process is the most annoying ...  Read the complete review

'The fact is that the dooyoo Community rates well over 95% of the reviews posted as Very Useful.' The above statement is obviously meant to be shocking, but for anyone who uses Dooyoo with any regularity it isn't in the slightest. I'm not surprised that such a massive discrepancy exists and am convinced that without serious change to the way that the site works this wholesale abuse will remain unchecked in future. While it's lovely of the Dooyoo team to treat us all like unbiased, objective adults, the fact of the matter is that most of us aren't. The illusion of choice presented by saying that sorting out a 'broken' rating system (my quotes) is ...  Read the complete review

egarding dooyoo miles. Personally I think the earning threshold needs to be changed, not so much increase or decrease, but needs to be re-evaluated. My personal major issue with the dooyoo miles is that there is one single threshold for quality of review and everyone earns the same based on that. 150 words of personal review and BOOM you have your 500 miles as basic. Now that's all well and good, but here's the problem, its too easy. I'll admit, when I first heard about dooyoo my intention was to just come here, write 150 words about anything and everything and earn my miles quickly. At 150 words per review I could easily write 40 or 50 ...  Read the complete review

The first suggestion I have for dooyoo is to increase the amount paid out for each review. Time is precious and spending more than 10 minutes for the sake of 50 pence is excessive. One can't do much with 50p. For example, a pint of beer costs at least £3. Writing 6 reviews just for a pint of beer is asking too much. My suggestion would be £1/review. At £1/review I could write one good quality review every 15 minutes, earning approx £4/ hour. This is less than minimum wage so this is not unreasonable. The biggest change that I would like to see, more emphasis on people reading reviews because they want to read it rather than sake of receiving it for reciprocal ...  Read the complete review

Having been a member of several review sites over the years, I have to say that Dooyoo is my favourite and the one I've found myself spending the most time on since once more finding myself able to connect to the internet. That's not to say it's perfect, because it isn't. So what do I think would improve the site and what do I think is perfect as it is? Well read on and I'll share my thoughts...... The first thing I noticed on returning to the site after a two year break was the new payment method. Dooyoo never used to pay 50p per review, there was just the flat rate of 3p per member read. While I understand the general idea behind paying for each review ...  Read the complete review
