Meet the 'Upvote' - where list meets poll

Say hello to our 'Upvote' format. Combining the best features of a list and an opinion poll, each upvote is a crowd-sourced listicle.

A small selection of sports teams using Riddle.com

Designed to get your audience involved, you select the items and your community upvotes their favorites.

Each upvote takes just minutes to create - generate social buzz and engagement with upvotes like "Choose your top 3 Star Wars movies" or "What's your favourite goals of the season?".

Why use an upvote list?

Today's audience want to be active, not passive, participants. Instead of merely reading and moving on, clever content teams know how important it is to get them thinking (and clicking).

The upvote is unique in how it involves your users - it turns a flat listicle like "Top 10 reasons..." into an interactive "We want to know what you think about..." format.

Easy to create - easy to embed, you can have your upvote list live on your site in under five minutes.

The benefits of an upvote quiz?

90% of website visitors want content that's more interactive and engaging.

Upvote lists make this possible - and painless - for busy content or marketing teams:

One upvote = multiple experiences

Upvotes are brilliant - because you can use them in so many ways.

For example, one clever approach that works well - hide the vote totals from each user, then share the overall results later.

You can do that as either:

  • as another article
  • include a lead form to collect email addresses, then send out the results (and grow your marketing list)

The BBC loves a good upvote
