Do you want to know what your customers think? Well, ask them.
Recently PollDaddy.com released a new version of their polling service. The new features are awesome and the service is still stupid simple to use.
If you read my previous post on using polls to increase visitor trust, then you will know that I recommended using polls as a way of getting close to your site visitors. Posting polls on a regular basis gets regular blog readers accustomed to interacting with you and your site. It can also get them in the habit of answering questions which comes in handy later when you really want to ask them some serious questions.
PollDaddy Version 2
If your not familiar with PollDaddy it is a very simple service to use. Just register for a free PollDaddy account, and then walk through the simple step by step process of creating a survey or poll.
Polls and surveys are hosted on PollDaddy and all you have to do is paste code into your blog for everything to show up. You have the ability to edit the poll/survey, change the look and feel, add or subtract questions, etc without needing to change the code on your page. That means you can manage all your polls and surveys from one central location without the need to tweak the code on each of your sites. This is a huge time saver and with PollDaddy’s new advanced reporting features you can get a clear view of the feedback you are getting from your visitors and community members.
With the introduction of Version 2, PollDaddy is also offering a paid version of the service that allows for larger poll samplings. By default the free version is limited to 100 responses. This type of limitation is similar to the one applied by at SurveyMonkey.com as well. If you have the need to take in more than a 100 responses then the $20 a month PollDaddy charges is a good option at 1000 responses per month.
Some of the other paid features are:
- PollDaddy link removed from your polls and surveys
- Track individual votes in your polls
- Track your voters location
- Easily detect and remove multiple poll votes from the same IP
- Unlimited Questions per Survey
- Priority Email and Phone support
Overall, PollDaddy is a fantastic option for creating polls and surveys super quick and with just a cut and paste code snippet to put in place it is good for bloggers who are using a third party blogging platform like Blogger or WordPress.com.
