The first thing I am noticing about many surveys (and I see posts by others in various threads stating similar concerns) is the difficulty in finding one that you qualify for.
Something I am beginning to see a pattern of, though, is that when I do not qualify for a survey in one of the "Daily" area's, I am then often redirected to another page indicating that another survey has been found that I qualify (or "may" qualify) for....so, I'm thinking "heck yeh, give me all the surveys you got".... I then proceed to complete the survey. Sometimes I get this "we found another survey" redirecting repeatedly before getting to actually complete a survey.....
BUT --- these, apparently, are NOT surveys through FC. I never see any credit for them in my FC account. The pages I am redirected to do not show any ads, or banners, or anything identifying them as a particular company, panel, website or anything. Just a white or gray page that is otherwise very plain, nearly blank except for the small paragraph at the top stating that I did not qualify for one survey, but another survey was found.
My question is....if we are clicking on one of the "Daily" links, and complete a survey, not only do we get credit for it, but FC gets their benefit from it as well. But, if we are not qualifying for the surveys FC is getting paid to lead us to, then getting detoured to another survey and not getting credit on FC for it, I would have to guess that FC is not making anything from it either???
Do any members of FC feel as though your getting "used"?
I am a "newbie" here, so maybe a seasoned member or an admin. can shed some light on this issue??
I'm sure I am not alone when I say I became active on this site in hopes of making some money (not just because I have a lot of time to kill and nothing better to do)....not to get rich, mind you. Just some extra funds to help in tough times. I don't feel I have the extra time to spend in taking the scenic route every time I think I may get to complete a survey. Maybe a lot of people won't care if FC gets their profit from those surveys we are getting detoured to, but the way I look at it..if FC isn't making anything, then we aren't making anything.
This is not intended as a rant or rave. Just trying to understand a little more about how this works and how we all can benefit.
