Vizu: Polls for interactivity and income

I recently learned of Vizu, a company that allows you to add custom polls to your websites. I used their "Power Polls" system to create and add surveys about women's sports to my WhyPark site:

www.SportsQueens.com

Click the links at the top of the page (either "For Women" or "For Men") to go to the pages with the Vizu-generated surveys.

You can also make money with Vizu if you allow marketing researchers to put their surveys in the Power Polls on your websites. Here is a WhyPark site for which I added a poll, but did not specify my own questions:

www.GameQueens.com

The questions that you see on GameQueens.com are either from Vizu or from marketers who are using Vizu to collect consumer data (and paying for the privilege).

[Update 8.10.08: I removed the marketing research survey from GameQueens because I'm now using that pol for visitors to review the games that are available on that site. If your want to see a Vizu-generated Power Pol, there is one at the upper right of www.MemoryTheater.com .]

Vizu Power Polls is currently a free Beta. They might start charging to use this service. However, based on their FAQ, fees will probably only apply to high volume sites. Below is an example of a Vizu Power Poll.
