Post mentions Google Comsumer Surveys http://www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/pricing http://www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/pricing
at $0.10 for targeted and $0.50 for targeted (age , gender, etc) responses this seems like a great way for getting feedback quick. Has anyone got any experience doing them ? Does anyone know how these people answer surveys, is there a web portal for people to sign up to do them ?
- prezjordan 13y agoLooks like Google embeds this survey directly into content on many sites, probably through AdSense tags? I'm not sure, I don't think I've ever seen one.
- blackdogie 13y agoJust did some more research, they have outlined a bit here http://www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/how http://www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/how sometimes it unlocks content (and the publisher gets a slip of the fee). It seems that they somehow have you already targeted to a 10% accuracy level based on your search history. Their case studies are also worth checking http://www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/use_cases http://www.google.com/insights/consumersurveys/use_cases
- JunkDNA 13y agoI've seen them smack dab in the middle of boston.com "The Big Picture". You basically can't look at more than a few of the photos without answering a google survey question. For me, looking at this page now asks me who my auto insurance provider is with: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2013/10/broken_lives_of_fukushima.html http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2013/10/broken_lives_of_fuk...
- carlob 13y agoIt must be blocked by AdBlock, because I've never seen one. I'm realizing now I'm missing a pretty large part of the web, by using AdBlock and Ghostery: most social share buttons, ads, Disqus comments… I should probably go on the unadulterated web one day a month, just to see what it looks like.
- rplnt 13y agoI don't have adblock either and I haven't seen any. I'm probably not a target group for any survey.
- dylangs1030 13y agoDon't do it. The web is dark and full of terrors.
- ydant 13y agoI've never seen these before. I disabled blocking and was, on my first load, presented with this: http://i.imgur.com/aYE5GC7.png http://i.imgur.com/aYE5GC7.png

- sadow 13y agoHey Xux, What issue were you having with the "take the tour" button?

- cninja 13y agoI can't say what is is about your comment or the article, but something about the combination gives off the vibe that this is an astroturfing effort to promote Google Comsumer Surveys.
- blackdogie 13y agoI've been a member here for over 4 years, I doubt I'd wait so long to promote a product.
