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.
