Paid Survey Reviews - Are They Any Help
from: Jorge ChavezSearching on paid survey review you come upon several different sites
with reviews of paid survey sites. Are these reviews real?
Do they have useful information? Can they be helpful? The
answer is, "Well, it depends." This article explains, "Depends on what?"
When you are scouting around trying to find a good paid survey site, a
guide company to help you get started with paid online surveys, you
sometimes come across "Review Sites". Are these of any help? Is
their information useful? Can you trust them?
The answers depend on what kind of review site we are talking about.
Are we talking about real paid survey review sites or are we talking
about bogus "review" sites of the various types that exist? Let's
enumerate them:
Real:
1. Serious review sites. These will normally be comparing more than 10
paid survey sites, using objective criteria, measuring
performance, making periodic reviews (since companies and conditions
change rapidly), offering comparisons, and periodically coming to
different conclusions in their rankings.
These are signs of a serious review site, and yes this type can be very helpful.
2. Semi-serious, Good ol' Boy sites. These will list 3-6 that
"they have compared" and found to be good, they recommend them, etc.
Web page goes up and remains unchanged for months or years. Maybe those
paid survey sites were good at one time but now? Still some of these
sites name well-regarded paid survey sites, so they may not be the best
but they are not all bad.
This type of site can be of some help, better than nothing, but they are not the best.
Bogus:
3. Sham sites set up by or sponsored by paid survey sites as a kind of
self promotion called "Paid Survey Review" in name only. You can
see various of those scattered about. Look at the sites closely and you
will see that they do not look "live", webpages are old outdated,
details such as privacy policy and contact information are missing or
non-existent. Site has no feel, no depth to it. Comparisons
are short on details, sponsor companies always show up in the top 3. No
discussion about ranking criteria, you are expected to take that on
faith.
This type of site is not credible and is of no informational use.
(Except maybe to note that the sponsors are not long on scruples or
ethics!)
4. "Straw Man" sales pitches. Generally start off with something
like, "We checked out 197 paid survey sites and 97% of them were
scams. There were only three that were any good. But those three
are really good and we have their contact information here" Reading a
bit you will note that they often play it fast and loose with the
numbers, saying one thing at one time and something else at another.
This type of site is a sales site, setting up "Straw Men" and then
knocking them over to make the product they are trying to sell look
better! What they have to say is self-serving, highly suspect and
not at all helpful.
So the full answer is that Paid Survey Review sites can be either very
helpful, somewhat helpful or totally useless, depending on the
site. Judge for yourself now that you know what to look
for. Just look for the signs as explained above and it will not
be very difficult to distinguish which is which.
