Ok, we hear you - MySpace.com surveys

Update: You can now add our surveys to Myspace: read about it.

We have noticed a bunch of searches on our site for MySpace.com surveys. We see incoming searches with MySpace Surveys. MySpace.com, for those with their heads in the sand, is the huge-normously successful social networking site that every marketer is salivating to get a bite out of. We haven’t really looked into incorporating SurveyGizmo surveys into MySpace.com yet, but what do you think? (Yah, I mean you reading this right now.) Is this something you want? What should it look like and how should it work?

We want to know what our users want. What would work well for you? Simple polls or extended surveys? Contact forms or contests? Are you looking to include surveys on your corporate MySpace page or create something viral you hope will be picked up and spread around?

This is less “build it and they will come” and more “tell them and they will build it.”

What do you think? Share your ideas here or email us at support@sgizmo.com and we’ll bring it.

Hi all,

To Patrick Hennessey

SurveyGizmo is pretty flexible in what you can do with it but it just depends what works best for you. You can use a survey to collect any kind of feedback and email addresses, and the HTML is very customizable so you can add links. A really good way to achivee what I think you’re looking for is to integrate your surveys into a blogging tool like WordPress(see our Add-ons page) this would allow for open comments, profiles, etc.

To Bill
We offer paid account levels with different features, but you may be talking about a survey system offering perks to survey takers? We don’t have an integrated pay for play system but many people offer incentives to take their own survey and we have a lot of power and flexibility to allow integration so that you could offer a coupon system, a points system, free downloads, etc as a perk.

You’re both welcome to call us for more details if interested - 800.609.6480.

Thanks
Scott

Hi Josh,

Hands down embedded surveys convert better in pages like MySpace.com or on any web site than linked surveys. Users are lazy by nature and if you can catch their eye with the actual survey questions you are more likely to get a response.

With SurveyGizmo though you have a choice. You can embed or link to them, so the choice is yours and can compare conversions across methods while using a single survey so the data is aggregated.

Thanks for the question.
