I always thought it’d be interesting to have a massive amount of statistics about my fellow book bloggers.. and here’s my chance!
I’ve compiled a survey that is aimed at both book bloggers and readers of book bloggers—both may enter! I plan on letting this survey run for a few weeks and then I will compile and post the results so you can all enjoy them!
As a little incentive, everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a raffle to win a $40 Amazon Gift Card! Simply fill out the survey, select “Yes” to be entered into the giveaway, and leave me your e-mail address. Thanks for participating! 😀
The survey has been closed and the results are in! Check out part 1 (book bloggers) and part 2 (the blogosphere).
Cool survey Ashley! 😀
This is a very cool survey and I’m truly looking forward to see the outcome! Thanks Ashley!
Eek I love surveys! This was a great one Ash!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😀 I love surveys too! They’re so much fun!
That was actually fun. Made me think. What made you want to do this?
I’m a bit of a statistics whore. I love numbers and seeing how many people think a certain way or hold a certain belief, etc. I’ve always kind of wanted to do this, but I think I wanted to hold off until I felt that I had a good enough readership to actually poll enough people. Because obviously the more people you get to participate, the more accurate the overall numbers will be. 😛
Great post/idea Ashley – I look forward to seeing what the outcome is 🙂
nice survey, I follow your blog and love the blog tips that you give.
It didn’t give me a chance to get into detail but I loathe captcha because I get blogger updates in email form and usually read on my phone. Blogger hates my phone and will not let me comment. It gets frustrating.
Some of those stuff had me wondering, but it was such fun to take this survey. It had me really thinking about me and my blog.
Great survey! I can’t wait to see the results 🙂 I’ve been curious to how the community would answer to many of these questions. Thanks for creating the survey and doing a giveaway along with it.
My Friends Are Fiction
I look forward to reading your results! 🙂
I love the survey. I wonder how did you do that? It’s cool, it makes me more insecure in a good way. I can’t wait to see the results.
I want to participate but I can’t see the survey at all D:
Great survey Ashley! I can’t wait to see what the results are, I love the questions you asked! Also thanks for the giveaway!
Loved the survey and can’t wait to see the results. The question about commenting system though – I wish there was a “don’t care” option.
What a great survey! I look forward to the results… btw for comments I put other because you didn’t list comment luv and that’s my favorite. Or is that part of one of the others you listed?
Such a well-thought out and interesting survey. I can’t wait to see the results, Ashley.
Love this idea, Ashley! Can’t wait to see the results. Thanks so much for the chance to win. 🙂
I went through my Google Analytics, and oh my god, my page views are actually less now than they were when I began blogging. So now I’m going to go wonder what I’m doing wrong….participating in less memes, maybe? Gah!
Anyway, this was enlightening, thank you!
Maybe! Like, when I was brand new to blogging I would always link up my memes and then visit like 100 other blogs to check out their memes and they’d come visit mine, etc. so my page views for those memes were always through the roof. But now I don’t do that anymore so I get less page views on my memes than I used to.
Or, if you were on Blogger when you first started and used the Blogger page view stats back then, then that could also explain it. Blogger’s page view tracker is very inaccurate compared to Google Analytics. The numbers are bloated and are usually quite a bit higher than the page views you actually get.
Interesting survey! 🙂
For some reason the survey isn’t showing up for me. So weird.
Do you have JavaScript enabled? And what browser (and version) are you using?
Mmm it’s probably the browser. I’ll try again 🙂
Entered! It was my browser’s fault. Silly Safari. That was a great survey. I kind of caught myself a couple times and forced myself to give an honest answer for some of them. I’m interested to see the results!
This was a great post. I loved the survey! Although it really shows how undeveloped mine is… ><
This was a great idea! I would love to see the results. Its fun to see what other bloggers/readers prefer! Thanks for doing this!
This is great! I will be interested to read the results. I think you have enough followers who are interested in these topics so you will probably get some great participation too!!
Great survey. Can’t wait to see the results. 🙂
Great survey. The motivations for blogging was really a tough question to answer honestly (that’s important in of itself). I’m not sure what a “meme” is but I’m going to have to find out now!
Omg I love surveys! *jumps*
Awesome that you’re doing this survey!! I really can’t wait to see some of the results. 😀
I was able to fill out most of the survey but parts aren’t working with my phone, so I’ll have to fill it out later on my PC.
BTW, I really don’t have a preference with comment platforms. IDK what to put. Other?
Finally remembered to fill it out!
Weeee! I love the survey. Makes me think about my whole blog. The memes are actually the ones which spike my weekly pageviews. And I just confirmed for myself that I really enjoyed reading snarky and ranty negative reviews. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
And thank you for the very very generous giveaway, Ashley!
Great survey Ashley! Can’t wait to see what others say. The comment platform was interesting to me. I like WordPress’ built in feature best for my own blog, but as a commenter, I find it irksome to have to subscribe to the entire thread just to see if the blogger responds to my comment.
I guess when someone is on WordPress, it’s up to the blog owner to install good plugins to support the built-in system! For example, Comment Reply Notification. That plugin automatically e-mails the commenter when you reply to them (without the commenter having to subscribe to anything). Everyone on WordPress should have that plugin installed! *starts a campaign*
The survey was so much fun! I love how it was structured 🙂
Is it wrong that I found this really fun? I’ll be eager to see the outcome! 😉
I’m so glad you asked these questions! I was *cough, cough* brutally honest so I’m curious how ALL the answers will come out. It’s kind of like taking the temperature on the whole blogging community right now 😉
Great survey. Can’t wait to see the results!
Awesome idea! I can’t wait to find out the results.
Interesting questions, looking forward to the results. 🙂
Will you share the results of the survey? I hope so! Thank you for the nice giveaway!
Absolutely! I’ll probably let it run for at least another week, then I’ll start compiling the results. 🙂
Ashley, can we put this on our blogs – that way bloggers who don’t subscribe to Nose Graze will see it too, and participate? Maybe use your blogger survey graphic too? Just a thought ………
Absolutely – go for it! 🙂
Interesting survey. I’m curious to know the results! I think you had some really good questions.
Hi Ashley, I know I’m dumb, but where do I find the survey? I’d like to participate as a book blog reader (and sometime book blogger), but I must have left my brain in bed this morning as I can’t figure it out!
It seems to not like Safari for some reason, so you’ll have to switch to a different browser, like Chrome or Firefox! Sorry. 🙁
nice survey Ashley. :))
Great survey! I’m definitely curious to hear about the results!
I am so intrigued by what results you will get!! Loved doing this and providing input! 😉
Awesome idea, Ash!
Loved this survey! Very interesting and I can’t wait to see the results. 🙂
Great survey! I’m looking forward to seeing the results. 🙂
I’m fascinated to see the results of this survey! Great questions!
I can’t wait to see the results! 🙂 I just finished filling in my survey.
Nice survey! I enjoyed answering it quite a bit. It will be interesting to read about the results. 🙂
I loved that survey and I have to agree with Tanya and there should have a option for N/A or I don’t care or It’s not my thing. I am blogging for me and not anyone else. I love the feedback and the followers but if they all left today I would still keep my blog going.
Thanks! Looking forward to the answers.
I can’t wait to see the results – it was a really cool and fun survey to take.
Great survey, good way to think about why we are blogging and how we define “success.”
I’m really interested in seeing what the outcome looks like! Great survey!
IDK how I missed this for 22 days. O.O But that is awesome. And SO you! I love seeing the results to these things. Woot.
