We’ve announced the launch of Pollsb for business last week, and briefly covered three products Pollsb has available to businesses interested in using the power of Pollsb, a giant community of questions and answers, and huge demographic pool, for quick, affordable market research, customer feedback, marketplace evaluation, content enhancement, advertising and buzz generation.

Today, we’d like to tell you a bit more about our Market Research program that allows you to get instant answers from real people all over the world, for a fraction of the price it would cost you to perform traditional market research. Using Pollsb Market Research, a client can pay either $4.99 for 24hrs or $19.99 for a full month of premium exposure on Pollsb.

Once you buy premium placement for your poll, and it is approved by our editorial team, it is given premium placement all over Pollsb.com: on the homepage poll rotation, and site-wide, on each and every internal page, attaining a high visibility in front of an audience of over 1 million eye balls a month.

And since our polls can include pictures, graphics, videos and even audio, you can actually generate buzz about your service or brand, while you market research! You can show pictures of your products, or even include a video advertisment inside your poll.

Another great thing about Pollsb Market Research is it works real time. This means you can check your results immediately after you poll is posted. You can get up to the minute updates on the voters, and their demographic characteristics. So there’s no more of the waiting time typically associated with traditional market research. With Pollsb, you have a question, you ask it, and you get immediate answers.

One last great thing about our service: the people who will be giving you their opinions, the members of the Pollsb community, aren’t your typical online market research people. They’re not on Pollsb to collect money, and they aren’t getting paid for their time as a focus group. They’re just people, from all walks of life, who enjoy asking and answering questions, and enjoy voting. They’re the real people you’d like to research.

Bottom line: for $19.99 you get over 1 million eyeballs of exposure, and instat, real-time, market research, done with real people. Go ahead, give Pollsb Market Research a try.

From now on, you don’t have to go to a poll’s page in order to leave a comment. Our brand new comment box appears right on the homepage poll (right after you select an option), allowing you to leave a quick comment right then and there. Go ahead - comment away!

Until now, there was only one way of knowing if you’re a vampire or not: you’d have to be positive on a number of factors: a need to drink human blood, a love for everything black, pale skin, fangs, problems with sunlight etc…

But now, in spirit of Twilight madness season, we’ve got a better way for you to find out if you’re a vampire or not. Just take a fierce photo of yourself, go to our new Am I a Vampire page, upload it, and get a quick response from all the other vampires running around on Pollsb. Much better than trying to drink blood only to find out it tastes like rusty metal, right?

Putting up our personal pictures, videos and music online is nothing more than a way of asking: what do you think about my new outfit? should I cut my hair? Should I get this tattoo? I made this video, what do you think? and so on… More often than not, we need others’ opinions to keep ourselves in check, and be aware of other points of view. One of the best ways to getting an advice that will be truthful and honest, is trying to get the outsider’s opinions, people who don’t have any obligation to be nice, who have no intencives to embellish the truth: the crowd.

On polls boutique, asking questions like that is made easy. Just upload your pictures, your videos and audio, and enjoy instant feedback and answers from loads of people from all over the world. Instantly find out what people think about your new haircut, your tattoo, and your hair:
