Do Companies pay for On-line Surveys if Yes Which r they?

Question

PLz name few sites which pays.

Answer 1

I've listed some of the sites I have taken surveys through and actually been paid (or recieved other rewards like gift cards or CDS) on the following site, if you are interested:

http://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys

I list how they pay you, what I like and dislike about them, whether they have an affiliate or referral program, etc. (And yes, if I say they have an affiliate program, I'm part of it, and make a commission when someone signs up through that link...I like to be up front about that).

There are others out there. Be careful though, there are also scams. Don't sign up for any survey site which asks you to pay to access the surveys. Also watch for language like "get paid for taking surveys AND SIGNING UP FOR OFFERS" if you don't want to have to sign up for stuff with other companies to get paid.

Always carefully read their terms of service and privacy policy. If in their privacy policy they say they only use aggregated info, this is GOOD SIGN they are legit. Aggregated info information that is grouped together so it can't be connected with anyones personal identification like name, e-mail, phone or address. That's what survey sites SHOULD collect. Avoid sites that say they give, rent, or sell any personal information (info that is not agregated) to third parties (unless you really don't mind getting junk mail, telemarketing calls, and spam).

Also just recently came across a good survey ratings site that I've found very helpful:

Answer 2

Good Question and nice to see the answers and really helpful.
I have been taking surveys at CIAO. Probably i havent yet reached the threshold limit where they normally send the amount. I am impressed with Ecaria's answer. User has very well given about what one should look out for in survey schemes. Even i always use to wonder why should one pay when they make money using our opinions. Thanks Ecaria

Answer 3

It is so told and advertised on the net, I have also tried several companies and spend hours on the net filling their surveys but they have not paid a single rupee as yet.
There are several claims seen on the net that they have received cheque s of pay outs from these companies,
But, I think that these claims are false and they do not pay to Indians.
So take care,
BYE

Answer 4

Don't know the name of them but I know they exist. I used to work with a group of homeless and that's how most of them made their money.
