Survey Head – Survey Site Review (Oct 2011)

October 17, 2011

Name: Survey Head

Link: http://www.surveyhead.com/

Who Is Eligible To Participate: Pretty much anyone

Type of Award Or Payment: Sweepstakes, Cash, E-gift Cards , Magazine Subscriptions and many many more

Points or Cash Normally Earned Per Survey:  0.50 – $3.00 USD

(Must have a minimum of $25 USD/CAD in your account to redeem)

Sign-Up Time: Pretty lengthy

How Many Survey Invitations Should You Expect Per Week: 1 – 20

How Long Does It Take To Collect A Reward Or Cash Out: On average 7 or 8 months for a $25 CAD/USD cash out

Do They Spam You: No

Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 – This survey panel has proved it self in spades to me. It has a decent amount of surveys and not that bad incentives. Although, I do want to say you won’t qualify for most of the surveys. Overall this survey site earns itself another half a point (.5) upgrade over my last score back on (June 2011) of 2.5/5. Do to it’s increase in direct e-mail survey invites. As compared to it’s past hidden dashboard only survey invites. Well done SURVEY HEAD !!!

————-

**Extra Information: Once you reach your $25 cash out minimum. Don’t be surprised if it takes a 1 or 2 months to get your chosen reward. It took me almost 3 months to get my Paypal payout of $30 CAD. “Not the worst I have seen, by a long shot. But no where near the best ether.

Blog Update #186.5 – I Want Everyone To Welcome “Erin” To Our (CSW) Comment Moderator Position

October 15, 2011

Dear Readers,

We have noticed we have been getting spammed hardcore by bots (Along with unverifiable ad spam and comment spam). Mainly do to our stellar search engine and keyword ratings. So after an e-mail from one of our readership Sanjay S.outlining the issues along with last weeks chat with our very own Scam Watch feature master “Nico“.  I have had a quick Skype chat with Remy our very own Editor-In-Chief and we both have agreed to do the following.

We have placed Erin to the position of Comment Moderator. She will from today be watching and approving and or dis-approving comments. I have already spent quite awhile today with Erin getting rid of some of the spam bots.

In the end we decided it would take too long to go over all of over 5,000 plus comments. But we did go back time wise pretty far and we still have some work to do.

So just to clarify this will not be Retro-Active move. But we also want to say outright this move will not impact any of our comment related policies or the time it takes for us to respond to comment left by our readership and or membership.

On An Important Side Note: If your comment has been removed for what ever reason please let us know. As we will try to correct any errors as they may come up. Please use the appropriate comment section or our main e-mail address computer.savvy@hotmail.com.

Till The Next Blog Update,

Canadian English Dictionary (2.0.3) – Mozilla FireFox Add-on Review

October 15, 2011

Canadian English Dictionary (2.0.3)

A. Ease Of Use: 4.5/5 – Very very easy. Just don’t by mistake add an incorrect spelled word. Or you’ll have to un-install the add-on and re-install the add-on while losing and added words in the process.

B. Security - Absolutely No Impact On FireFox Security Or PC Security

C. Usefulness: 4/5 – Just be aware this dictionary is very hit and miss. Some very common newer words are not even in the dictionary YET.

D. FireFox Slowdown: None

E. Computer Slow Down: None

F. Type Of User Would I Recommend To Use This Add-On: Any Canadian user would greatly benefit From This Add-on.
