Yesterday, we talked about ways to leverage your distribution channels<\/a> in order to maximize data collection.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But, really, data for data\u2019s sake isn\u2019t worth much. So, how can you best use your distribution channels to collect reliable, high-quality data?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Limit the number of responses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By sending single-use links, you make it impossible for one person to take the same survey more than once \u2014 or for any additional person to take the survey via that one link.These links are not tracked through IP addresses; they\u2019re tracked by our system through a unique link.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Let participants self-invite to your survey<\/h2>\n

You know how data corruption occurs \u2014 someone with too much time on his hands takes your survey multiple times, thereby skewing your results. Limit this occurrence by forcing participants to invite themselves by sharing their email addresses.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Stay on top of ballot box stuffing<\/h2>\n

With little extra work on your part, you can easily detect and automate occurrences of ballot box stuffing via Sogolytics\u2019s Report module<\/a>. Then you can choose how to treat the data \u2014 Include All, Include a Few or even Exclude All.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I hope these discussions have given you some food for thought as you go about creating and distributing your surveys.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

By distributing your surveys<\/a> through our platform, you\u2019ll reach a wider number of participants, increase your response rates and obtain high-quality data.<\/p>\n
