plus the guy who owns it… joe… his support is awesome, highly recommended.

First off, Thanks to Ian for this great, thorough review of Poll Factory. One of the best I’ve seen.

Secondly, to commenter “Ugh”:

I’m very sorry Poll Factory did not work out for you, It’s impossible to please everyone with a product like this, which is why I offer the 30 day money back guarantee. I do think it’s a bit uncalled for to call me an “idiot”, I am far from one.

I would really like to address the concerns you have with poll factory, so others who read this understand why it is the way it is.

1. “PollFactory requires me to fricken create a file for each poll. Yawn”

One of the main selling points behind poll factory is it’s centralized control panel. The idea was that you can install the poll factory control panel on a single domain, and manage ALL your polls that are hosted on Various other domains without installing poll factory on each of those domains (like you would have to do with wordpress for example). The only way to host a poll on multiple domains, is to upload a file to those domains. That’s simply how web servers work. It’s only 1 .php file you have to upload, it’s not like you have to go through an involved installation process for each one.

2. “Why can I only have 4 options? Maybe I want fourty?”

The decision to limit the poll options to 4 was for simplicity. I’ve never had anyone else complain that they wanted to have more than 4 options, so I never considered adding more. The idea with these polls is to make money, not conduct scientific research. The bottom line is that the more simple the poll, the more money it makes.

3. “Why can’t I tell each option to go to a different page (I wanted them to go to different landing pages depending on if you’re right or wrong).”

This is entirely possible with poll factory and is clearly outlined in the user guide. Im not sure what else to say about it. Read the guide.

4. “Why wouldn’t offer rotation work for me, and why wouldn’t PollFactory respond to my emails?”

Im not sure why offer rotation didn’t work for you, it works for me every day, and it works for the other 500+ poll factory users. Perhaps you didn’t set up the poll correctly. Again, this is outlined in the user guide.

Without knowing which email you are talking about, i can’t comment on why I didn’t respond. I do my best to respond to any and all support emails as quickly as possible.

Thank you again Ian,
