The Bad Surveys

This is the page dedicated to bad surveys, *shakes a finger* and you know who you are but just in case the reset of the internet is unfamiliar lets go ahead and make a list:

First is the Survey site that sends you to other survey sites, we call this linking and clicking, because you click the link, fill out the registration form, click another link to have twelve more registration forms to fill out. If by chance you made it through that mess then you get 50 emails a day for new surveys. Second is Spammers, which you sign in and create a free account but then are inundated with 25 + emails for surveys that you may not qualify for (1out of 20). No you won't qualify for every survey because companies are looking for different demographics but creating a residual income off of surveys is the point.

The Black List: Avoid them if you can because of the spamming issue..

Nielsen Digital Voice (Panels, Survey Panels or Downloads) The link will take you to their FAQ page you can explore their wesite.
   This company will send out surveys through various other sites, taking the surveys aren't an issue but BEWARE of the downloads. This company will do a software download for 5$ reward that tracks where you go and what you do on the net (for collection data.) Now whether or not they actually do that for the intended purposes I can't say. Who gets the information is also not listed.
The downloadable software however comes with issues. I have had a malware attack after ten days of being tracked, computer crashes and viruses from this software. Do NOT download, period. Remember taking the surveys is fine, just dont do the "extra research opportunitiy for an extra reward."

Inbox Dollars - Ever been to Pogo.com? Great online gaming site with cash games, tournaments, avators and a general hang out place for people? Inbox Dollars is set up just like that where they advertise you can get paid for reading emails, playing games, clicking on video's etc. What they don't tell you is how many emails you get in a day (25 - 35) regardless of checking the options for daily digest or weekly digest. Once you sign up for Inbox dollars then you keep getting offers from third parties, other survey sites and occaisionally recieve some video's to watch. The catch here is to keep you online with their site to keep creating money the bad news is the money is minimal (literally pennies or subscription fees out of your pocket).  Inbox Dollars is similliar in set up to FushionCash however you will find on the FushionCash website a cleaner look, updated material and NO spam. Check out our Good Girl List for Survey sites to sign up for.

Survey Money Machine - the registration to get the registration forms.... yeah the big circle jerk. If you type "Surveys" into Google then you will get this site at the top because it pays for the listing. The link will take you to their "How this works page", which incidently is another way to make money (becoming a site that connects people to other sites).  Not nessecarily a bad thing except for the constant emails, sifting through surveys and of course the ever popular sites you have never heard of emailing you for their program. Not the greatest idea in the book but there is a small grain of truth here, how to get the most money from your survey taking.

Other sites that I have found not worth the time for creating money are:

Panda Research - qualifying for surveys is 1 in 20
Survey Spot - 1 - 10 (if this was the only one you did then maybe I only made 2 $20 cash outs in two years due to not meeting qualifications.)

Another Survey scam is buy and recieve points, these companies like Cash Back Research will provid you with opportunites to earn points and money from testing products, trials and surveys. The idea here is to get you in the door with an outlandish claim " Make 40$ a day, you won't rich but you will get paid." Now if you think about the statement $40 bucks a day is $1200 a month which middle class income so no you wont get rich but HOW do you get $40 a day? By buying into trials or products for points to redeem for gift cards. Thats the catch you don't see in the fine print.
Other companies that advertise like this are:
www.cashcrate.com
www.getpaidsurveys.com/
www.onlycashsurveys.com/

Think before you register for a survey company, know your limits for time to partcipate in the programs and above all find a company or company that works for you.

These are the only survey companies I partcipate in and for the last two years I have made 908$ extra cash for about ten minutes of work 5 days a week.
