Are survey sites slow this week?

I usually receive a handful of surveys each day, but have noticed that many survey sites have been very quiet this week. Maybe everyone took an end of summer vacation, or maybe all the companies needing surveys have spent their budget for this quarter.
Whatever the case, it has been unusually slow for me on the survey sites this week.
Have you found the same to be true also?

I have received a little less than usual but not a huge difference. Some days I have so many and little time to get to them and other days wondering why I have not received more. Lately I have received a lot from Toluna(formerly your 2 cents) but less from opinion outpost, and survey savvy. I am currently having trouble receiving from survey spot but they are working to resolve that issue. Lets hope it picks up soon.

Opinion Outpost has been very quiet for me this week. Even Survey Spot seems slower than usual, with zero cash offers for the last 10 days or so. I thought maybe it was me (maybe it is...lol) but I'm hoping it picks up again next week.
It seems this shaky economy has companies spending more of their research budgets with the survey companies...and the extra money has helped!
Hope it picks up for you too! Thanks for responding!!

It hasn't been slow for me, I still get several surveys a day sometimes its hard to keep up with them and by the time I get to them they're expired. I do surveys about everyday..

I started getting a couple more offers this week. But I'd have to say the last few weeks are still quite slow as compared to the previous few months. Maybe it just an August thing or summer vacation thing

Thanks firefox333..I did check the website out, and I signed up, they are supposed to let me know if I qualify for a test, it seems interesting. You said that your a member too? I'm a member of several survey sites, I do survey's about everyday, sometimes I get too many and its hard to keep up..ha. Bartlesville is about an hour away from me, maybe an hour and a half, its not too far. I will let others know of this website, I have a few friends here that do surveys all the time too..thanks.

Hi there walijo2008,
I stumbled upon this topic, saw your reply, then glanced at your profile page and from seeing a picture and post of yours about the weather, I learned that you are from Oklahoma. So that's why I'm writing and I hope you will see this comment of mine, since you do surveys.
I am also a survey taker and have signed up with many different panels. One of them being located in Oklahoma and from what I can tell, they mainly do in person taste tests and focus groups. Sounds like they pay quite well, too. But since I am located in Ohio, it doesn't do me any good when they send me an e-mail invite. I have received at least three different ones this August. They're always saying to please pass it along and share it with others if I know anyone. One time I even tried to post a topic about it here, but not sure if anyone even saw my subject. So I wanted to share some info with you.
Anyway, in case you haven't heard of the company and already signed up with them, they are called 21stsensory.com . If you go to their website, there is a link in the upper right hand corner to take a survey. Also if you know of anyway, I could tell others in your state (here at myLot) about their site who would be interested, please let me know. By the way, they are located in Bartlesville, not sure how far that is from you. Hope I shared a new company with you and maybe you can benefit from this info.
Take care,
