Surveys

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Welcome back!

I like to take surveys.

What frustrates me is when I am told that too many with my type of qualities have already taken this particular survey.

I wonder if the survey companies have ever thought that with so many people of my type, maybe they should find out just what we are thinking. If there are so many of my type, I guess that we might actually count for something.

Survey Reject

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

I am a grumpy ’survey reject’, and I am not ashamed to admit it.

If you like to take surveys the way that I do, you will find out soon that if you are female, white and in your fifties, you will not be needed much. That hurts. It makes it sound as if your opinions do not count. Never mind all the spending of money that you do. Your opinion is not wanted.

What I wonder is - why do they send out a survey to me in the first place when they know how old I am and that I am female….etc? It makes me wonder if they even examine the different wants of the person who needs the survey to begin with. They could just save time if they would read what they are sending out. Am I grumpy? YUP :/

Opinions

Friday, June 27th, 2008

I have been giving my opinion for several hours today. It’s been fun, and yet I have found some ’survey’ sites are not really about the survey, but about selling you “opportunities” to get things.

You get from one page to another and continually are presented with things to sign up for which will most of the time cost money. If you decide to pass on the “opportunities” you might be told that you have to take a pick from gold, silver, or platinum choices, or even some from ALL that are presented to you. That is NOT a survey. It is worse than phone sales. I put my number on the Do Not Call list to avoid irritating sales pitches. Now, I find them in e-mails (I use the delete button a lot), and on sites posing as surveys. YUK

The way I figure it, the TV has more than enough commercials on it; so, why can’t the advertisers be honest and admit that they are selling things and not try to disguise their sites as surveys. It makes me not trust the products being pushed.

Surveys, I thought, were supposed to be about opinions, not selling stuff; but, that’s just my opinion after all. :)
