Don't do it, its garbage. I took some of these surveys and it says that you have to actually sign up for some of the products of the companies that you are taking the survey for. This is just a total waste of time and you make absolutely NO PROFIT!

Signing up with "Paid Survey" sites is a waist of time. They collect your name, email, home address and phone number. They sell your information to different places (List Emailing Services). \n\nYou will continue to receive bogus emails saying "You MAY be eligible to participate in a new survey"! Plus a bunch of SPAM like: Congratulations, you qualify for home mortgage, Lose weight now and the usual. People who usually fall for this are Internet newbies.

you're kidding right? I hope you don't use any of the data you collect on here for a school project. This is about the worst sample you can have for a survey. Your results are going to be pretty much worthless.

in my opinion, th emajor drawbacks of focus groups are that their results have what is known as high "face-value" validity because participants' comments sound so believable. In fact, the results may appear so believable that the researcher's tendency is to rush out and put the focus group's recommendations into action without further investigation. The best plan is to wait and, before adopting specific programmatic strategies, take the time to do additional research and look for back-up of the results in the literature.\n\nAnother risk is using focus group data to generalize to a larger population. Remember that the group of participants, also known as the sample, does not necessarily reflect the entire population. For that reason, critics say that focus groups are merely an exploratory research tool. For an organization, the real question is: are the data credible enough to use in making decisions?\n\nthe major disadvantages are:\nThe moderator has less control in the group than in an individual interview. Because individual group members can influence the course of discussion, it is not always possible to know if data reflect the behavior and perceptions of individual participants or the group.\n\nBecause focus groups are held in an arranged or controlled setting, participants may behave differently than in private interviews, and this may affect what is expressed.\n\nData are difficult to analyze. Be careful not to lift comments out of context or sequence or come to premature conclusions.\n\nThe technique requires carefully trained interviewers. While an untrained moderator can achieve remarkable results it is far better to influence the odds by using skilled people.\n\nBecause each focus group is different and has its own characteristic, you must take each group on its own terms; there is no cookbook method for working with the groups.\n\nDepending on the available staff support, recruiting participants can be a difficult and time consuming process.\n\nThe discussion must be conducted in an environment that is conducive to con-versation. To attract the types of people you want, you may need to provide incentives to ensure that participants will come to the meeting.

I work in fraud detection, the advantage is obviously convenience. the disadvantage is possible identity theft. There are numerous devices that can be attached to the machine and copy your information. Your information could be sent to another country in a matter of minutes. Make sure you use a machine that is serviced often and watched closely. Even the most cautious person can have their information compromised.

You will have an issue with ip addresses if you are targeting a certain area.  For example AOL, EARTHLINK resuses IP address so you might block a new user from taking survey because IP was used by someone earlier.  I believe use a database to store username(FIRST LAST NAME) and timestamp it, then if they enter the same username within the timeframe it will deny them access with outputs like the previous example... "You have taken this survey in the last 24 hrs."   I do contract coding for small businesses, email me anytime.. lance@801promos.com

It is both advantageous disadvantage and disadvantageous advantage.  It all depends on how YOU behave in PG level.

I am an academic marketing researcher but I've never seen any figures on the % of market research done online.  In academia, we tend to shy away from collecting primary data online because many people don't use the Internet much, if at all.  That means that data collected this way will be skewed towards the type of people that fill out questionnaires online.  This may not be a problem you want to sample this type of people, but if you are trying to get opinions from elderly people, for example, online data collection is definitely NOT the way to go.  Hope this helps.

The advantage is that anything can happen, and it usually does.  Disadvantage is that the footage can be edited in ways that will make someone look bad or someone look better.  It's not a complete picture of what is actually happening.

There are no real advantages, only perceived ones! \n\nThere isn't enough space to list all of the disadvantages.\n\nIf some one was to do an honest cost/benefit analysis, very few would own one.
