Online Surveys Rating - What You Need to Consider Before Taking Paid Surveys By Alex Cadens

When I first started researching on this subject, I found that all of the "informative" sites about paid surveys did not provide me with an actual insight about the surveys websites they displayed, but more with a simple list of links with very little information about them. So, I was not before an online surveys rating, but before a great number of names and direct links, with no clear idea as to where should I go to for best results.

That left me with the task of having to go ahead and join more than 50 surveys sites in order to assess how much money was really in them. As you can imagine, I wasted a lot of my time doing that, because as it turns out, I almost did not get any satisfactory results. I then thought "if I would have had some kind of online surveys rating I could have saved all this painstaking trial and error time consuming process I went through"

So, considering that most of the "informative" sites on this subject do not really report on the quality of the paid surveys websites, I decided to start thinking about how to rate o rank those websites and how to summarize their basic characteristics thus building an online surveys rating.

After careful consideration, my conclusion was that in order to evaluate a paid surveys website and build an online surveys rating there were three key factors take into account:

  • The Time/Money Ratio factor is simply how much do you make in a given period of time.

This factor is one of the most important, because surveys websites are by general rule a waste of your time. They can suck up half an hour of your time and for that 99.99% of them will pay 50 cents or $1. That simply is not good business. So time/money ratio is the first thing that is going to tell you if that website is worth your while.

  • Website Reliability is also a factor to consider in the online surveys rating.

I have found surveys sites that have a fair pay per survey, but then you have to be very careful along the way, because if you are not, you might inadvertently end up signing up for offers or services you did not want, and that will probably cost you more than what you will be getting paid; or you could find your self already 20-25 minutes into the survey, when they suddenly prompt you to sign up for an offer that will otherwise prevent you form continuing and finishing the survey. The result: you have to quit the survey, you got no money and you have lost 25 minutes of your time.

So a reliable site is one that you can be sure will not lead you -or mislead you- to hidden offers or sign ups, because that ensures you will not loose time or money in the process.

  • Payment Options is of course another huge factor in the online surveys rating, because you not only want to get paid, you want to get paid as quickly as possible.

Well, the majority of the surveys websites (the ones that pay cash) will pay you via check, and very very few via Paypal. No need to say that this last form of payment is without question the best and most desirable, because that way you get your money very fast and you are ready to use it right away.

So, to avoid wasting your time and to get the best results out of your taking surveys efforts, keep these factors in mind and check the Online Surveys Rating for information on the highest ranked surveys websites.
