Advanced Marketing Tools: Google Consumer Surveys

Google's product updates come fast and furious, so it's easy to miss some interesting product developments. I've been guilty of this too. Today, I learned about Google Consumer Surveys.

How it works is simple: you design a survey and Google traffics the survey on its ad network. Users can complete your survey to unlock premium content on partner sites.
