You can use polls as an option to bind the visitors to your website.

Maintaining an online website is not as it was planned and expected it to be. Because, the real traffic visiting your website or blog varies from time to time and depends on a lot of factors. The need of increasing the website popularity has given birth to many new careers in the internet domain like Search engine optimizers, website designers, website, maintenance etc.

As a part of increasing your traffic, you can use polls as an option to bind the visitors to your website. There are huge number of websites that are offering free poll creation service to the webmasters in the internet but only a few of them are good when you want a real thorough analysis about your audience which helps you in writing better content and gaining more stats and page rank. Proprofs is one such website allowing the webmasters to analyze the nature of their audience/visitors.

The reason why I liked pollmaker site is because of the following salient features.

1. You can create a free poll

2. You can insert links, images, and videos besides the plain text in the options of your poll

3. You can set expiry date of your poll

4. You can allow/ block the comments to your poll question. This helps the users to express their ideas more openly.

5. You can have single/repetitive votes from a single user.

6. The poll question can be either public or private.



Of all these, the best thing is their analysis part where they give a detailed information on the polls, telling which country men gave which answer; their browser, location in a map etc.

If you want, you can embed this poll in your website or blog with different sizes.

Looking at all these features, I prefer and advise my fellow blogger/ webmasters to avail this service.
