You can post questionnaires on your site in order to learn what you target market is looking for from a provider such as yourself or take stock of what’s going on in the marketplace from the consumer’s point of view. In the meantime, customers get the sense that you care about their needs and wants and they get the opportunity to interact with your site which is why the Traffic Ultimatum course covers them as a means for getting traffic to your site.

Questionnaires can also give the user information about themselves. Questionnaires and surveys are currently being used as marketing tools on social networking and web 2.0 sites such as Facebook and Blogger, to engage users and provide them with a fun, free activity. When a user enjoys a questionnaire, they engage their network and invite their friends to complete it as well.
