Polls and surveys

As a professional blogger or webmaster it's important to keep in touch with the readers and know what they feel about subjects you write about. One way to keep in touch with the readers is to allow people to comment on your entries. But we all know that it doesn't work very well, because people seems to be reluctant to drop comments. It's a pity because it's so nice to get to know a little about your readers.*hint*

Another way is by adding polls or myspace surveys to your site/blog. It will give you the interactivity you need to create an attractive site and at the same time you'll get the feedback from your readers. A no fuss service is the best, since it will save you time (in a couple of minutes your account is up and running) and space on your server. And best of all, it's free!
