Poll FAQ
How can my poll be free?
Your poll is supported through advertising revenues generated by one graphical banner on the top of the page and one pop-under
ad.
How do I create a free poll?
The setup process for your poll is easy. Just sign up and then follow the instructions to create
your own poll.
How do I put my poll on my site?
After you create your poll, select the HTML code with your mouse and copy it. Open your webpage source file (your HTML file)
in a simple text editor and paste the code into your file at the appropriate location. For best results, we recommend using a text
editor to paste the HTML code into your HTML file. Do not use a word processor such as Microsoft Word, nor a webpage design
program such as Microsoft FrontPage. Use of such programs will often result in errors in your HTML code.
How can I change the poll I've created?
Once you've created your poll, all you have to do is login with your e-mail address and password to change your poll settings.
You can customize almost everything, including the results page and the language!
Can I create more than one poll?
Yes, you can create up to 25 polls. If you are conducting a survey, you should consider creating a
poll with multiple questions.
Why doesn't my poll work?
The HTML code on your page is probably not correct. As mentioned earlier, we do not recommend using a word processor such as
Microsoft Word, nor a webpage design program such as Microsoft FrontPage to paste the HTML code into your HTML file. This will
often result in errors in your HTML code. For best results, we recommend using a simple text editor.
Can visitors vote more than once?
Not usually. There are two blocking options to prevent users from voting more than once.
- IP Blocking: users with same IP address can not vote more than once.
- Cookie Blocking: a cookie is set on the users computer when they first vote.
Some of my visitors complain that they've never voted before, but still get a message that they've already voted!
If you enable IP blocking, the IP address of the voter is recorded. If someone with the same IP tries to vote again, their
vote will not count. If you are using your poll on a site where people access it from behind a firewall, many of your visitors
may have the same IP address. For this reason, you should disable IP blocking and only enable cookie blocking.
What's the maximum number of questions that I can have on my poll?
You can have up to 15 questions on one poll.
What's the maximum number of answers that I can have for each question on my poll?
You can have up to 15 answers for each question on your poll.
Can I control the order of the questions on my poll?
Can I edit the "total votes" count on my poll?
Can we pay to remove the advertisement?
Yes, we offer an ad-free service which is very reasonably priced. Please log into your account for more details.
