Are you looking for polls that can be embedded into your page? One of our clients wanted to have polls embedded into their Web site.  So I had the chance to search the Internet for free embeddable poll softwares and, I must say, there are a lot. My list was quite long at the end of my search but evaluating and reviewing the features of the softwares that I found cut my long list. I ended up with 4 choices. Let me refer to them for now as the Magic Four.

• Wufoo
• Polldaddy
• Questionform
• Vizu

The Magic Four offer almost the same features and capabilities. I signed up for free accounts and tried them myself. Using any of them, surveys and polls are quite easy to create. You don't need to have programmer knowledge and skills to come up with one. Just drag and drop, type in your questions and choices, and click. You can also choose the theme or skin of your choice. You may even customize your own theme so your polls will have a look that matches you page. You may opt for a single choice or multiple choice polls. The polls can be embedded into your Web site, blog, emails, and what have you. This answers the need of our client. All you have to do is copy the code, which will be given at the end of your survey/poll creation, paste it into your Web page editor, and voila! Your poll is embedded into your site. Another feature is the survey or poll analysis. Voters can see the poll results, if the poll is made public by the author. Also, you, as the author, can export  your data in csv, xml, or excel. Vizu and Polldaddy allows you to insert photos and videos into your polls. This adds more fun to your polls.

Coming down to one final choice, I would say polldaddy offers the most features that we can get the most of. The free account gives unlimited free polls with unlimited votes per poll. The survey, which is different from their polls, are also unlimited; only, there are slight restrictions like the survey responses are limited to 100 and the questions to only 10 per survey. But these doesn't make much of a difference because the rest of the Magic Four offer the same in their poll creation.

I hope this blog helped you choose your embeddable polls software. Do you have suggestions or other stuff that you want to know more of about embeddable polls?
