Why create a poll for your blog?

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

It’s no secret that we’re trying to evangelize bloggers into using polls on their blog posts. And when we speak with bloggers about this, most of them understand the strength of a poll as a form of communication with your audience. But for the sake of those who don’t, here’s why posting poll on your blog makes sense:

1. Like blog comments, polls are a great way to add a level of interaction to your blog posts. Posting a poll on your blog is like asking your readers a question, conversing with them, getting their opinions. This is what makes good blogs great: they listen to their audience, they learn what their audience wants, and they follow up on it.

2. Polls are great for blogs because they produce additional content. As a blogger with a poll, you not only produce content in terms of your writing, but you also have your poll results to enhance your understanding of the covered subject. When a critical mass of people vote on your poll, you can update your post with the results, adding high quality content to your writing.

3. Polls are perfect as feedback tools. Redesigned your blog? Made a new video and have two versions to pick from? Have two versions of some song and want your readers to tell you which one is better? Use a poll!

4. Polls can help you market your blog. Every poll posted on Polls Boutique, is enjoyed not only on your blog as a poll widget but also on pollsb.com, by a community of many thousands of voters and pollsters who can dig your stuff and follow your poll to your blog. Make sure your add links to your polls and invite your voters to go read the post you wrote.
