rtsl35 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I received that email and another one today. Again not favorable survey sites. Too bad, I was kinda excited... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avemaria Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 honestly to me it's no different than someone signing up here and posting referral links.. they get people to sign up via this site and then they pass on their referral links, making money when people sign up for whatever they recommend..

1957horses Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 So where is Noah Seton now???................................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avemaria Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 he figured out how to make more money by selling his panel information.. each time someone on his panel signs up, he gets the sign up commission... sometimes a few bucks a piece.. just like us when we sign up people to GTM we get $2 or so..

Roco1975 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I got the Cint one and agreed to it. However, I am already with Cint for other stuff, so not sure how that will work. I ignored the Vindale and other site offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avemaria Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 i'd advise everyone if they want to sign up for any sites given in the email to do so via the company's main site and not the 'special referral link' given in the email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noahseton Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hello, I am Noah Seton - Co-founder of PollBuzzer. I've noticed that Survey Police removed us from its main directory because of some offers that we sent out to our panelists, as well as some partnerships that we established - both of which were designed to give our panelists completely voluntary opportunities to earn additional rewards. I thought I'd explain what happened in the hopes that we can be reinstated in your directory and hopefully ease the minds of some of our panelists who are confused or disturbed to find themselves receiving surveys or other offers that they did not expect from us or from our partners. 1. With regard to some of the offers we've sent out, like those for FusionCash and Vindale, as well as for various Ipsos and Harris surveys, we sent out a list of links to survey opportunities to our database of panelists. In the email with those links, we explained explicitly that we weren't endorsing the opportunities, nor were we asking them to try them, but that since we were in the market research business and see more opportunities than our panelists probably did, we'd send them along periodically for anyone who wanted to join. We did this perhaps half a dozen times this spring, answered every email that we received complaining or otherwise asking about the practice, and have recently stopped sending the offers out because the number of people joining them didn't seem to justify the small number of people who were aggravated by them. Lesson learned. 2. We have also set up partnerships with two very reputable companies whose management and leadership we've met and worked with - Clear Voice Surveys and Cint. In these partnerships, PollBuzzer panelists who opt-in (either through an explicit response to an opt-in request, or, since May 6, 2014, by agreeing to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy) have separate accounts set up for them with each of our partners, respectively, and are then sent surveys and panel invitations from those companies. Like the other offers, these are completely voluntary, and they seem to have been successful for the ~25% of our panelists who have taken advantage of them, earning those panelists who have answered surveys from our partners a couple of dollars per month on average since we started the projects in the late spring. We are a small company that really does value our panelists. Our co-founders read the support inbox, communicate directly with the panelists via email, facebook and twitter, and take complaints about either low survey volume or anything else quite seriously. We'd love to get back into Survey Police's rankings, as we really do believe that on the whole we provide a great experience for our panelists, and we'd love to be able to publicize that fact more broadly. Thanks very much, Noah Seton Co-founder, PollBuzzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
