RT Reader Survey
Here at RT we love our readers. And we love that more and more of you have been stopping by to read every month. We’re curious as all get-out about what kinds of folks are reading up on local politics here. Are you die-hard progressives, glad that there’s an on-line progressive presence here in Rochester? Are you die-hard conservatives, shaking your heads in disbelief at those durn liberals? Or are you somewhere in between, just glad for a local, topical alternative to the corporate news?
No matter who you are, we’re glad you’re here. And if you’re glad we’re here, and want to support us, simply fill out this quick reader survey. It’ll help potential advertisers make up their mind to advertise on RT, and thus support the progressive movement right in your backyard!
You can find the survey here. It’s quick, it’s easy, and, sick as this sounds, I actually found it kinda fun.
About 5% of RT readers have filled it out so far. I’d like to see us triple that number.
Here’s a fun snippet of the folks that have responded so far– Party Registration: 
hey thanks for the nod of approval
Sigh. On-line polling is worthless.
Paige, do you feel that way because of the small sample set?
I’ll answer that. I’m fairly sure Pagie will say the same thing. Any poll in which the audience is self-selecting is worthless from a statistical view point.
But, for me, even though this has no statistical value, I find it interesting anyway.
And, advertisers like it since it gives them a peek into what kind of folks are reading RT. Readers like it since the ads are more likely to be things they’re ACTUALLY interested in. And RT likes it since we’re more likely to get site-supporting ads.
That indeed is my reason.
