PollDaddy - Free Surveys and Polls for your Blog

Last year I was helping my wife to create on-line survey as a part of her academic research on psychology. Tell you truth, it was not easy to find a good site that will give the sufficient flexibility, will allow significant survey length, and will be free. I do not remember, which site we have finally selected, but the chosen site was just the best from the available, and was far away from the “service of our dreams”.

It seams, that I just missed in my search an interesting online tool PollDaddy, which gives trouble-free opportunities of creating free polls and surveys, and placing them on any website, blog, or social networking site, like MySpace, hi5, Friendster and Xanga. PollDaddy application is simple and flexible, allowing high degree of styles and appearances customization to match the interface of website or blog. Poll can be delivered to the reader and potential responder through JavaScript, flash, direct link, widget or RSS.

Basic services PollDaddy are free, without adding sponsored advertising or redirecting users out from the site, hosting the poll, however, there is the link to their Web Site on the form. In November 2007, PollDaddy introduced the second version, improving reporting, tracking, fraud detection, and voter location features. While the current services remain free, some of new features will be available exclusively with the PRO account for the moderate fee. Current limitations for a free account holder are 10 responses per month and 10 questions per survey.

57 "Money for Surveys" Web Sites Collection

I have compiled a list of the top 57 Money for Surveys Web Sites on RateItAll. It took me three days to filter through about 300 sites I found online. However, besides those, that I use myself, I could not give the proper evaluation for sites by just looking on their offerings.

The criterias for the site to be included in the list were as follows:
1. Preference for instant pay for survey, not a lottery or raffle. For some reason, I have suspicions on the prizes distribution fairness. I saw once, how the winner was determined through the raffle on one of the Trade Shows. Just overheard the talk: "Let's give the prize to Mr. X, he will feel good, and will buy the system tomorrow".
2. Applicability for the general population. I did not include too narrow targeting Web Sites.
3. Any good or bad feedbacks, I could locate in the online communities.
4. Amount of the information given before the site forces you to register or sign in.
5. Web Site professional outlook, how long ago was it updated, etc.

Definitely, I could miss some valid points. You are welcome to review the list, leave your opinion and rating, and earn money as much as you wish...Link for the list:

Again, I want to claim that the list does not include my referral links, so do not consider this posting as an attempt to make new referrals. Tell you truth, I am so bad in making referrals, so I just gave up on this side of the business.Anyway, good luck with your online moneymaking.
