I can't remember how many survey sites I have joined since I had the internet. Not all survey sites make you earn a big fortune or evaluate your views in a joyful way! To be honest; most surveys are cyclically long and uninspiring. It is barely ever pleasing consequently, not all people are capable or bearing to answer 15-30 minutes with incessant questions without being fed up or driven up the wall by some rudimentary and byzantine questions!

I used to sign up in every single survey site I found, either for money and to fill up my time. Anyway. . .I won't encourage you to join the bad sites . . .I will only suggest the decent ones and Ipsos is one of the first-rate and astonishing survey sites and I can highly recommend it for you to join (if you like filling out surveys)

== First, who's Ipsos? (The company, who are you dealing with and what are they offering you?) ==

Ipsos ASI, the Advertising Research Specialists, are the Group's dedicated brand in advertising research. With offices in 25 countries, it claims to be the largest provider of advertising pre-testing services in the world. A research company assesses market potential and interprets market trends. Like most survey sites, it sends questions about products from certain clients with new products in the market, new ideas or even questions about political issues to Ipsos members asking for their individual opinions. This process will not only involve questions, sometimes they send products to be tested at home; also they have some focus groups.

Their job is to advertise and help clients to build along relationship with the customers by sending the information and some products to the customers.

Astoundingly, it was originally created in 1975 as a market research company then expanded to most Europe in the mid 80's then in 1998 it shifted to the newest technology( the internet )and expanded in nearly every continent, in Europe, North America, Latino America, Africa, Asia Pacific and recently the Middle East using over 35 different languages.

== Ipsos Interactive Panel, how to join (not rocket science!) ==

Joining is very simple and easy, you only fill out some very rudimentary details (your details and any other member of the family who lives with you) then a few minutes later a confirmation email will be sent to you with a panellist ID that consists of 8 digital numbers that I found very confusing and difficult to remember. They explain the usage of ID numbers by saying that this number ensures
