[If anyone wants a translation, please let me know. But the sites are in
Spanish, the surveys are in Spanish, and I figured that if you can't read what they say in
Spanish here then you
probably would not be interested anyway ;-)

(Visita el Sitio Web) y puede descubrir facilmente exactamente lo que esos sitios ofrecen para ayudarte hacer

For an explanation of the factors used in classifying our top 20
and in picking the top 5, Click Here >> Paid Survey Site Classification Factors Explained
Commentary:
At one time, size was a major factor in choosing good paid survey
sites. Bigger was better. Then for a few months the refund rates of many larger sites went up and stayed up. Big
paid survey sites were starting to look like dinosaurs, big, but slow to adapt to new conditions! Many of the
smaller, innovative sites got much better marks from their clients, as expressed in their refund
rates.
But recently the larger sites have made a comeback, rising to the
top in results according to their clients and as expressed in their refund rates.
Some sites have "gone private", using ClickBank only for a
collection agent, which makes their full refund rate figures unavailable to the public (you and I!). Instead of
making the changes needed to provide more client satisfaction, they took steps to hide the size of their failures
to please their clients! We no longer list any sites that have gone this route.
We also brought some of the smaller paid survey sites that we have
been tracking, into the top 20 list. They are smaller but some have very good refund rate numbers. We prefer a
small paid survey site with a 5% refund rate to a large site with a refund rate of over 8%!!
Recently there have been many changes in the ways these sites
work... most no longer just give you a copy of their list of survey makers and leave you alone with it. They have
set up strong support departments and provide significant help to their clients in getting worthwhile surveys to
take... This explains, in part at least, why the current top 5 sites are all larger sites.
These sites are providing excellent support to their clients, who
are getting good results and sticking with them rather than refunding out...

Four Spanish sites are
relatively new here: Encuestas Por Dinero (Surveys for Money), Encuestas Remuneradas (Paid
Surveys), Enquestas Pagadas (Surveys that are Paid for) and Encuestas Para Latinos (Surveys for
Latinos). These sites are set-up for Spanish-speaking people who live in the U.S. or
Canada.They deal with surveys being made of/for the 41
million-person Hispanic demographic in the U.S. who speak Spanish
They all four have very good rankings, but were not included in or compared directly with
the sites in English. Instead, we have established a separate category for them, as yet unranked, since there are
only four in that category so far.
Refund rates are down somewhat for
this last ranking period. The average refund rate for the latest ranking period for our top 20 paid survey
sites was 6.53%.
We show the past average refund rates in a table by
date, which you can see on the right-hand side of this text. ==>
ClickBank earlier made some changes in the way it
reports numbers which may cause some distortion in the absolute values this rankings period. It will not affect the
relative positions of the sites evaluated.
When we have sites whose numbers are in transition from changes in
prices or otherwise off-scale and not reliable, we indicate this by "n/a" (Not Available right now).
Note that none of our picks had either a year
average or a Composite Index refund rate higher than 7.14% (1 client in 14). All things being equal we felt
that the refund rate was the single most important measure of client satisfaction and determiner of the quality of
their service. We tend to favor larger companies over smaller ones, based on the market's choice and greater
stability.
We now print the refund rates
of all with refund rates of 10% or higher, of our top 20 in Red above. This is to highlight their low desirability status and urge caution with these. Note
that we have added a red "X" to the left of each of these, to
point out that these rank at the bottom of the top 20 and their refund rates have passed our "red line"
danger mark. At this time we would NOT recommend
them.
The overall average refund rate this month
is 6.53%.
We have looked at the numbers of survey makers on the lists of paid
survey sites as a possible qualifying factor, but have generally downplayed this number. The quality of the list is
much more important than the shear number of names that are on it.
We now update our analyses on the 5th day of the month in each
ranking period, at which time we review and revise our picks. Paid survey companies change and market conditions
change. Our selection of recommended companies is dynamic and will change as new information comes
in. We always pick the current best choices for
you!
We now have sixty-five months of history posted on this website, with the
numbers and the winners chosen from December 5, 2006 all the way up to today. We invite you to look at
the past numbers in Past
Rankings for comparisons.
In general, you probably won't go wrong with any of the companies listed, especially
those with refund rates below the average. For the 20 companies listed above the current refund average is
6.53% (means that on average, for the top 20 companies
shown here, approximately 1 new member in every 15.3 asked for a refund for one reason or another). For the top
five, only 1 in 22.42 to 1 in 21.05 asked for a refund!
