We’d like to ask you for a favor.
We’re running a survey to get a better idea of who you are and what you like to do online. Yes, we know, surveys can be a pain, but the data is essential for our sales team to represent us properly.
If you like what we do, it’d be a huge help if you could fill it out. The survey is a pop-down ‘toaster’ style. It’s conducted by Crowd Science, a well-respected name (here’s some info about Crowd Science from TechCrunch). The survey hovers over the leaderboard for a few seconds and disappears if you ignore it.
The survey isn’t too bad. We’ve kept it as painless as possible. It’s about a dozen questions, standard stuff, mostly about your usage of online social-media and some basic demographic information. It’s totally anonymous and takes a few minutes to complete.
The survey is persistent. It’ll run until we turn it off. This allows us to gather a stream of up-to-date information, rather than a snapshot that’s soon out of date. But don’t worry — only a small percentage of readers see the popdown. If you see it and ignore it, you won’t see it again for at least 3 months. And if you take the survey, it won’t pop up again.
The information is essential, otherwise we wouldn’t run it. The site needs to make revenue or we won’t be able to operate. And to make revenue, the sales team needs to give potential advertisers good readership info.
We appreciate your help — many thanks.
