Who loves surveys?
April 11th, 2008I’m investigating some new advertising options for the website. In order to get the higher paying ads they need some demographic data from my readers. So it would be a big help to me if everyone here filled out the survey at this link:
Click here to take the survey.
A reader from the forum says that it is “surprisingly short.” Thanks for your help!

I’d gladly take it… but it’s blocked by at least two of the ad-blocking layers woven into this LAN.

Well, it’s the thought that counts.

Done. Concerned that the best your new adertisers could come up with Butlins adverts… Especially since they don’t load in sync and flash at slightly different times to each other!
Not making enough from PW?

@Mike - Advertising revenue is very random and uneven. If I start using more than one service they may even themselves out a bit.
What is Butlins?

@chris he was referring to the survey system. It’s quite…. quaint. But I took for you anyway.

I surveyed! Glad to be of service!
I’ve been using intensive repair lotion for my dry hands every other day, so this comic makes me cringe. D:

That was surprisingly short!
Glad to help out.

You might want to make the announcement more prominent… most days, I don’t read down below past the comic, and was just lucky I caught it today.

Hygiene week, huh? Cool.
That survey wasn’t what I expected… enjoyable, even.

Where was all the static electricity and the really intese guy screaming “Tell us what we want to know or we taze you again!!” I mean, I wasn’t even threatened ONCE!
Oh well, keep practicing!

Now that’s the type of survey I enjoy. Not too long and it doesn’t try to burrow too deep into your personal habits.

I can’t say that I *love* surveys, but if it helps you and the Biffster I’ll gladly take it.

Butlins is a cheap holiday resort in the UK, it’s one of the only ads that displays for me, that and Tmobile ads.
But interestingly, when I click on burst media ads, I don’t get taken to the advertisers site, I get taken to a burst media landing page. Is that how it’s meant to work?

Anything to help Biff
Done!

Love the comic, and a survey is the least I could do to help you out.

I liked how they thought I might get my information from “internet websites”, and how they placed xbox below ‘other’ on the list of videogames.
