Researching Online Survey Panels
I've been a survey panelist participant for a number of months now, and am interested in actually evaluating the different survey sites. Some of the reasons for this include:
I. Identifying to prospective panelists the pros and cons of different research sites; II. Collecing data from panelists to determine areas of difficulty in survey participation;(examples: failure rate of survey links; 'dead' or 'looping' links; Length of time for reimbursement).
III. Establishing the cost/benefit ratios of different sites as a function of amount of time vs level
of reimbursement.
To this end I am starting to do database construction - I am in the most preliminary of stages now, focusing on field and table construction. Hopefully, I will have a basic database up and ready by the end of September, and can start issuing reports (and graphs!) shortly thereafter.
Any questions, advice, or feedback on this project would be appreciated. This is the first time I have done a weblog, so my apologies for any formatting issues - I've yet to really explore all the editing options available to me.
