Want to instantly add interactivity to your blog? Consider adding polls to your site. And here are more 5 good reasons …

  1. They encourage discussion and can spark new ideas and content.
  2. The poll’s results can add to your incoming links, bringing up your blog in search engine rankings.
  3. A series of polls can offer your readers a sense of ownership, and these loyal viewers will continue to participate over time.
  4. Because it’s easier to respond to a poll than provide a comment, it helps to demonstrate that your blog is alive.
  5. They can increase blog visits from your RSS feeds because readers have to jump to the site to cast a result or see the current results.
