We are testing a new program by Google -- members will be shown a survey on poem pages that they will be asked to fill out before continuing on. These surveys will only appear at most once a month, will not appear for premium members, and only one response (rather than the full survey) is required. Google, in turn, will pay us about $0.05 to $0.45 per survey result (with most surveys likely being closer to $0.05). We estimate this program, over the course of a year, will offset our budget for one month (in contrast, display advertising covers close to two months of our annual costs).
We are running this on a trial basis till the end of the year and are very open to your feedback.
Please do consider a premium membership as that will open a number of new features for you, and is our primary source of support.

I like how they present themselves.....the advertisments....carrier fees....plus it works the social strata of human interest....the social awakening.....I will fill them out next time! Thank You Andrew!
Andrew
I am in favor of this as long as it is for the betterment of Neo and will offset a fraction of the operating costs
Good
idea. An increase in revenue with little disruption is always a plus..........stan
Great idea
I think it a good way to start the site making revenues.
If you're going
to get paid for it, then I agree, do it. Bear in mind, though, that Google has a track record of lengthening these kinds of surveys over time, which will eventually turn people off.
I would prefer a different survey provider too - I don't trust Google farther than I can spit.
Anything for the benefit
of the Neopoet.
I'd say YES!
