There seems to be a never-ending stream of new ECommerce services aimed at bloggers. The latest is Vizu Answers, which allows advertisers to pay for interactive polls on blog sites. Sites that feature polls are paid per impression, not per click which is unusual but in a way reassuring as it should mean that any polls purchased will meet certain quality standards. Another nice touch is that all the activity stays within the blog rather than clicking out to another site.
Creating a poll is very simple, and is just like creating a new Adsense unit. I’ve added one to Connected Internet in the sidebar to replace the What Will Santa Be Bringing You This Christmas poll which has just closed. I think it took me about 3 minutes to create and add.
There’s nothing running as of yet, but apparently what will be displayed for the first couple of days are a few basic polls to profile my readers e.g. age, gender, income etc. Even if Vizu don’t sell any polls on my site, I think getting this info will be very useful.
