How do you draft questions for your quiz and survey modules? What questions do you enjoy answering?
Any tips for avoiding obvious or boring quiz and survey questions?
This does not fully answer your questions, but usually I put the survey module near the end of the article on the right side of the last text capsule and almost always add the option of "Other" or -- Please leave a comment below if you have another answer, or additional thoughts about your answer.
Thanks! I'm interested in anyone's thoughts, uses of, and successes with these modules! I like you're create an answer in the comments option! Do you get lots of responses with it?
My results are mixed with polls and quizzes. I had great results with quizzes with fun articles of humor with a hint of an opinion. I don't know if those articles really drive Google traffic. I dun'no . . . I did use it with informational too.
The quizzes were designed offering a chuckle inside the article the first type. Perhaps that created more interest with what followed? I would use hints like read further or more following kinda' thing with both types. Sometimes I would offer a poll at the end based on that quiz. I haven't tried that strategy for quite sometime.
With polls today my results related to traffic is maybe around 5+%. Today, I tend to use two. One about 1/3-1/2 along. The other at the end. I get best results with the first. I ponder how far the article is read. Maybe checking with Google Analytics the normal reading time on an article will offer a hint if exit occurs with where the poll is?
My participation with polls and quizzes? I always look at the results of a statistic orientated poll first though don't answer all. Is that cheating? In other words when seeking a range of something if there are already many answering my vote will not be relevant. So, an early on one I will more than likely vote. As intent I most likely will not return to see if the result changed. I fancy offering an opinion type poll without looking first.
Quizzes depends on the article type and what is offered with the question. I run from quizzes orientated toward 'How much did I learn'. I don't want to know if I am smart or not.

Some times I get really dumb questions. For instance, some asked "Are dragons real?" are a hub that was all about the reasons for dragon myths and which made clear that dragons are not real. Should I give a brief response: "No, dragons are not real." Or should I just...

I get a LOT of questions on my article about hamsters. Most of them have answers that can easily be found in the article. I’m not going to lie; it’s getting tiring answering the same question for the fifteenth time, especially as the asker would know if they bothered to read the article properly....

To get people to engage more with my articles, I have used the quizz and vote capsules. Yes or no answer to questions related to the topic, asking for reader opinions, and just a general quizz about the content. I'm not getting any vote at all or any answer to these quizzes. But I see some random...

Hi there folks,I'm really upset. I've been going through my articles, some of which date back to 2010 and the good old Squidoo days. The editing on my pages and the automatic removal of my Amazon capsules is out of control.The products are relevant. I use them personally to create the items...

Because of the way we have rolled out Article Q&A on a site-by-site basis, there are some network sites that have substantially more questions with their own URLs than others. Rest assured, we haven’t seen any direct correlation between changes in traffic and the ratio of questions on a site....

I have noticed that most of the questions I get are from one article. Those questions are piling up. Most are very specific and can not be answered by reading the article. That being said, do too many questions attached to one article hurt that article? I feel like too many comments dragged an...
