Poll capsule is the new feature that has been added recently to already existing several capsules. Polling is such an activity that is loved and hated in 50: 50 ratio. As in politics, some political parties pursuade voters to come to polling stations and some political parties wish that voters stay at their homes and do not turn up for voting. This difference in thinking of political parties is due to their hidden self interest. If a political party is well aware that they are not going to get enough vote from a particular area, they will pray that people better enjoy their TV's in homes instead of taking pains to come to polling stations. Similar situation exists in case of websites, blogs and hubpages.

Since I have indicated in the title of this hub, I assume that only hubbers are to read this article. Although there is no restriction on anyone and as long as it is online I can't stop people from outside the hubpages. They will come and read. There is no problem. I titled it just to create some mystery. Otherwise there is nothing confidential except one simple clue that I 'll give in between the lines and that's the reason why I intended to restrict my readers to be from within hubpages.

1. Placement of poll capsule/location: One of my fellow hubber has suggested to use poll capsule on the top (In the begining). There can not be a thumb rule. I disagree to it. If you ask a reader to answer a question without providing information, it will be just like testing the knowledge of a student in the begining of a course. I always hate that. Other purpose of placing a poll in the beginig and then putting a poll capsule in the bottom to take second opinion will mean that you wish to impose your thought on the reader and want to know how much you have influenced him . In my opinion, hubbers can use multiple poll capsules but its better to place them in the end.

2. Using single or multiple poll capsules: This decision will depend on the content and nature of the topic of your hub. In some cases you can insert multiple poll capsules and soilicit the opinion of viewers on interlinked issues. But never place more capsules if you don't have enough questions to ask. Theme of some hubs may not allow to use multiple poll capsules.

3. Never ask viewers opinion about hub: Its not wise to seek viewers opinion about a hub. If you ask viewers whether he or she liked the hub or not. It may hurt the ego of the viewer. He may express his opinion in the comments capsule. Even if a viwer caste his vote, in all likelihood, he will never make a comment in the comment box.

4. To use or not to use a poll capsule: Always use a poll capsule in the end of a hub.

• It will provide colors to your hubs.

• Viewers will be back to see others opinion
• Some viewers always try to satisfy their ego and impress upon others that they were always correct

5. How to extract viewer's opinion: You might have experienced that nobody has voted to your poll capsules for several days. There has not been a single vote. This simply shows that nobody wish to break the ice. So what to do. Although not morally good but you have no other option. First vote to your poll has to be casted by you. Not so bad too. You know one vote will not make much difference but to set the thing in motion you can do it.

6. Designing the question of poll requires some sort of art & intelligence: You have to read people's mind. Hence, design your questions using intelligence.

I am reproducing an example (snapshot -right side bar) from one of my hub where I have used multiple poll capsules:
