Do you know how your blog performed? Do you know who is your reader? Your reader wanted to read which topic the most? We will never know more about our readers if we never ask. A useful method is using survey.

There are many survey tool out there. As a Google office user, I do not need to look for third party service.

The Benefit of Google Docs Online Live Survey

The visitors can submit the survey form instantly without login to Google. After that, results are automatically added to Google spreadsheet, and you can receive notifications by email when submissions occur. You can even add in Google Docs forms gadget to your iGoogle homepage for live update.

Finally, in your spreadsheet, you can create graphs and charts from the results, and then publish those charts back on your blog. As the responses going on, the published charts will update automatically. Cool isn’t it? This is why we call it “Live Survey”! And of course, it is Free

If you do not want to survey via blog or website, you could also survey your friend via email. (more…)
