If you would like The Gadgeteer to continue to bring you fun and informative gadget reviews, then I would like to ask a favor of you. Please fill out our advertiser survey. It will only take you a couple of minutes (5 at the max) and the demographic information it collects will help bring relevant advertisers to the site. Running a large site such as The Gadgeteer requires a lot of expense and ads are what keeps the goodies flowing, so please click that link!

For those of you that do fill out the survey, you’ll be entered into a random drawing to win a mystery bag of gadgets. What’s in the mystery bag? If I told you, it wouldn’t be a mystery, would it? ;) I will tell you that the bag contains items that I’ve reviewed or talked about here on The Gadgeteer. So it won’t include be a roll of Charmen toilet paper or a pack of chewing gum. There will be at least 5 items in the bag and the overall value will be at least $50.

This contest is open to anyone, living anywhere.

Contest Details:

1. Fill out the advertiser survey before Midnight EST 3/31/09. Be sure to enter your email address in the appropriate field in the survey. Don’t worry, I solemnly swear that the address will only be used to contact you if you win the mystery bag of gadgets.

2. After you fill out the survey, come back here and leave a comment to this post.

3. I’ll choose a winner at random some point on Wednesday 4/01/09 (no, this isn’t an April Fools Day joke).

Update 4/1/09:

The winner is Dustin (post #126). If Dustin doesn’t respond to my email within 48hrs, I’ll choose another winner.

Here’s a picture of the mystery bag items:

Quick survey! Mystery bags are always fun!

6 george March 28, 2009 at 11:34 am

this is a great place to find the newest gadgets.

7 Paul Holmes March 28, 2009 at 12:00 pm

Done and done. I’m in the UK but still check out the site daily.

8 Jerry March 28, 2009 at 12:03 pm

Yup, quick survey and nothing too penetrating, so glad to help for a chance at some gadgets!

9 Scott March 28, 2009 at 12:06 pm

That was an easy survey. I hate those surveys that are 5-10 pages long of nothing but 30 radio button questions. MORE GADGETS!!!

10 Kara March 28, 2009 at 12:27 pm

Survey gives me an endless loop. After 83% it sends me back to 50%.

11 Tom F. March 28, 2009 at 12:27 pm

Your reviews are the perfect addition to read, after reading the manufacturers product information. Thank you

12 Gary March 28, 2009 at 12:28 pm

Oh, that was a very painless survey.

13 Osama March 28, 2009 at 12:35 pm

DONE

14 David Gray March 28, 2009 at 12:42 pm

If there’s one thing I’m full of, it’s opinions. No mystery there.

15 Pedro March 28, 2009 at 12:55 pm

Easy as pie… Although I don’t have one and am hungry… Ah well…

Love the web site! Keep up the good work! Wish I could be part of it. Glad to help with the survey.

16 Roseann March 28, 2009 at 1:01 pm

That was really quick and simple.

17 Gordon March 28, 2009 at 1:19 pm

Painless and nice that it did not require answering every question or filling in every comment box.

18 Fernando March 28, 2009 at 1:31 pm

Done. Easy and fast. Hope it helps make the site even a better one! :)

19 Matt March 28, 2009 at 1:38 pm

The survey throws me in an infinite loop from the page with the average income and the page with the age.

69 Julie March 29, 2009 at 8:42 am

To those of you having an issue with the survey, I’ll try to find out what’s going on and have it fixed.
