They send me emails whenever I meet their particular demographic - they usually want a mom with children. Most of what I am asked about is food products. Many times, the item has already been introduced to the market. I think that they often cover the gamut for relevant answers (I would definitely, might possibly, might or might now, probably won't, definitely won't...use). What I DON'T like is that if you choose the last two, they often ask WHY...but they don't ask WHY you would DEFINITELY use the product. I have had, on two occasions, products sent to me to actually sample. One changed how I felt about the product, the other didn't. It works well for me. I occasionally participate in other online surveys that are not paid, and like you, I think that they skew the answers to get the results they want. <em>Linda's last blog post..<a href='http://fifenhorn.blogspot.com/2008/03/random-q.html' rel="nofollow">Random Q & A</a></em> I participate with one survey company that does pay.

Ipsos Isay just gives you entries into sweepstakes. I haven’t done any paid ones, so I can’t really say about those. Ipsos Isay just gives you entries into sweepstakes.
