When choosing which surveys to answer is it the amount of the incentive or the length of time that determines which ones you choose. I usually go for the amount of time.
-
I just go for quantity. Go, go, go.
:fish:
-
I do not pay attention to the amount of time because it is never correct.
-
The amount of the incentive!
-
I just go with the ones that I qualify for. I click on most offers and see if I qualify. If not I just get the dq penny and move on to the next one
-
I rarely, if ever, pay attention to the time associated with a survey. When I began working this site I used to follow along with the notation of the length of time and soon found it to be a poor guessing game. You'll only frustrate yourself if you do.
-
It depends on how I feel about the survey. Time is relative.
-
Don't really pay attention to either just starting working them and hope for the best.
-
I go by the survey time. I am not going to take a 60 minute survey just to find out at the very end I don't qualify!
-
I look at both the time and money factors. If I get into a survey that seems too lengthy and detailed for the money, i sometimes just close out of it because I have completed too many surveys where I didn't receive credit. In fact, that happens on F.C. a little too often for me!

If I have time I go down the list and click all the surveys. But usually right now I click higher paying first. Rarely do I look at the time. Usually the time is not where close to correct.
-
Time most of the time unless it is a really high paying survey
-
Both, the amount of time and the incentive. I will not spend an hour on a survey for one dollar.
-
Both. But if a survey is longer than 15 minutes, I lose my focus. So I don't bother with those.
-
When I have time and nothing to do all day I'll do whatever I can all day. Naturally I try and do the shortest surveys for the most $$$ but in the end as long as I get the five cents for paid to click I'm a happy girl.
-
I go from the lowest time upwards like you do. I hate long surveys. I look for the ones that have both a low amount of time and a higher reward first. I used to just go down the list from first to last to see which ones I qualified for, but don't do that any more.
-
I look at both, for me they need to somewhat equal out in terms of my time; the incentive needs to be somewhat equal to the time I need to complete the survey; although there are times when the time ends up being more; as long as I get credited then I am ok.
-
You can't go by what time it is suppose to take because it is never true. I do mean never, so don't start hyperventilating.
-
I never pay attention to how much they pay because 9 times out of 10 they kick me out anyway and I just get one penny.

I still go for the higher paying ones first.
-
I just start at the top and start working my way down, and if I haven't landed on a survey in ten times then i will sometimes go to the bottom knowing all I will get are pennies and try for a few more then I say bag it. Do my community form and get off for awhile.
-
Always go for the one that pays more even if it last long for you to finish it.
-
Neither one, I just pay attention to who is offering it.
-
I never look at either I just start at the top and go down to the end
-
The amount of time matters more to me. I like to stick to surveys no more than 15 minutes long. Any survey regardless of length can sometimes be worth the same amount of money as another would be (e.g., a 2-minute survey might be worth $0.25, but so would a 30-minute survey). Also, a short survey might be worth a higher value of money than a longer survey might be.
-
All depends on the amount of free time I have to do surveys, if only a short amount of time, I shoot for the shorter estimated time ones. My preference, if time is plentiful, is the higher paying ones -- I unfortunately rarely qualify for those, but they pay based on the amount of time spent on the survey before disqualification, so even if the survey ends for me early, the disqualification fee is higher.

A more common situation for me is a 60 minute survey takes 3 seconds to DQ me and a 3 minute one takes 5 minutes with all the pre-survey questions and processing delays.
-
Both, but I filter them by time first. I never risk anything longer than 15 minutes because I'll be too mad if I don't get paid, which has happened a lot. These days I'd rather aim for a short cheap one than risk a long one where I get DQ'd at the end.
-
The amount of time and the amount it's worth. But most importantly the time.
-
I just go first for the type I only do Tap Surveys because even if you don't qualify you get partial credit.Then secondly I go for incentive and move on from there - my goal and concern being to earn enough to do the 15 cent activity each day. Yep that is the way I roll :monkey:
-
Yeah I've learned that the time limit doesn't matter or hold true. I still stick with the ones that say less time.
-
I usually choose for time in proportion with the money For instance, I won't do 2 cents for 20 minutes
-
I just keep going. From one to the next.
-
I go for the most amount of money with the shortest time.
-
If I try for one it is usual the amount of time, the least and sometimes its work out to the amount of time I have at that time.
-

I don't even look at the time since it is usually not any where close to correct. I done one the other day and it said 3 minutes. I spent more than 3 minutes trying to see if I qualified for the survey. In the end I did and the survey took 30 minutes. Ended up being a really interesting topic and paid decent.
-
Yes, I have to agree with you, tjshorty. I definitely go for the amount of time. I don't have a lot of patience for the overly long surveys, which sometimes even disqualify you after 20 minutes. That really gets my goat, LOL! The best surveys, of course, are those that are super short that pay very well, which are very few and far between. :peace:
-
I will say both because sometimes the survey is not all that long if it is not a high paying survey. But I just do what I can and see what I can get.
-
Usually, if it's interesting or the shortest survey. I'm impatient & refuse to do an hour survey only to get a penny for my effort!
-
I'm just grateful to qualify for any survey.
-
You can't always go by the time. Some are shorter than the time given.
-
I usually choose surveys with higher incentives and lower times. Emphasis on the amount. :moneymouth:
-
You can't always decide on the time because they are never the same. At the beginning of the survey they say it's going to take 35 minutes to complete the survey, then as you go a little further by answering some questions, it decreases to 15 minutes.
-
I think it's interesting that so many people in this thread say that they don't pay attention to either. I agree that the times rarely match what is stated, but I still pay most attention to the surveys that state the least amount of time. I usually start with the shortest surveys first. Then if I have time to spare, and my brain is still working, I go for the longer ones. Lately, though, if I see a big paying survey on Tap Research, I'm likely to try that one first, because in my experience, the bigger the reward, the bigger the DQ!
