  I don’t want to rate the links in my blogroll. Whatever I do, the screen still show the “0”-os… Thnaks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  There is ratings for blogroll links – sorry. PollDaddy Ratings are available on WordPress.com. This enables you to place ratings on your blog posts, pages, and comments. http://en.support.wordpress.com/ratings/#rating-reports

  There is NO system in place for ratings blogroll links – sorry.

  @dorintudoran You should be able to turn off the link ratings in the links widget settings. An example is shown in this help page:

  @dorintudoran: Go to Appearance>Widgets, open the Links widget, uncheck the option “Show Link Rating”, click Save.

  And please paste the URL of your blog when asking questions here, or link your username to your blog (as explained in the Sticky 8 Things to Know before Posting). Helps us help you.

  Thanks designsimply and panos. I must have been unwittingly ignoring that option for ages.

  How is the rating determined?

  By you: edit link > “Advanced” module.

  (In my opinion, ignoring was good: I wouldn’t ever display a blogroll saying, look, this guy is better than this guy.)

  I’m confused. When we place ratings on post we invite our readers to do the rating. Why on earth would we place our own rating on a blogroll link? I don’t link to any blogs that aren’t related to my own, and those I do link to I consider to be a valuable resource for both myself and my readers. That’s the criteria any savvy blogger sets for adding blogroll links. The thinking behind this rating of blogroll links seems off-base to me but perhaps it has some meaningful application and usefulness that I just don’t get.
