I see it helping in few ways. First, it provides a quantitative look at it, so you know what your corruption tax is going to be. Second, there are regional variations, so in the medium-term, people can respond to this information to make better choices (yes, it is everywhere, but how bad is it?). Third, in the long-term, this can potentially impact governance. Public perception can be powerful, so I could see progressive entities trying to get off these websites.
