Here are some ideas on how to get more votes for your polls:

• Vote and comment on other people’s polls and profile pages

Even the golden rule of “do unto others as you want others to do unto you” applies to polls. Taking interest in others polls and profiles will have them do the same for you next time you put up a poll. Plus the more you vote the more your icon will appear on our homepage, so more people will notice you and click on your pretty face.

• Add people as pollsters

When you add other users as pollsters, you’ll get their polls in your pollsters feed (right under your profile name). Since people tend to reciprocate, the more pollsters added, the more will add you, and will see your polls in their feed. They’ll vote on your polls. Just don’t forget to return the favor.

• Send poll to your friends through email or IM

A great way to get some extra votes on our poll is to get your friends to check out and vote on the poll you just posted. All you have to do is click on the “send to a friend” button at the bottom of the poll, or get the URL from the “share” option and paste it in an email message. If in dire need, send a link to your mom. That’s a sure vote.

• Post poll link in relevant message boards, communities, and social networks

Addicted to Facebook? or Myspace? Well, posting your poll’s link in your profile or status update can get you those beautiful votes. Even posting a link on a forum you often write on can get people interested and voting.

• Use the poll widget to place poll on your blog

If you have a website or a blog, why don’t you just post the poll on it? All you have to do is click on the share button at the bottom of the poll, then customize the poll to match your blog, and grab the embed code to paste it in your site.
