OTX Research question??

Is anyone else getting errors sometimes when they complete a survey by otx research. Because everytime I try and complete a survey from them, I always get a error "Website not responding" after typing in my zipcode or something at the very end. There goes another 30mins wasted time for nothing, and then the company wont respond to tech emails.

I never had much luck with OTX surveys. Most of the time I never qualify for them. I have been doing surveys for about 5 years or more. I don't do their surveys very often because I never qualify and I do get errors with a lot of their surveys.

I've also had bad luck in the past with them. My biggest problem is they would sometimes send me into a loop, at least thats what it seemed like. They'd ask the same qualifying questions over and over.

Anyways, I've noticed over the past month or so that they're using a slightly different format. I've taken several, and they seem to be a bit better. I'll keep trying them for a while before I make a final verdict though.

Good Luck.

I have had too many problems to mention with OTX. I connect to them mostly through Gozing, but they do surveys for other companies too.
If the survey is for less than 5 bucks I won't even let them waste my time.

OTX Research has so many problems, and so many survey incompletes, I wont even bother doing any surveys using them anymore. Also, OTX says that they don't put any data gathering programs on your computer when you use them, but, in fact, they do insert a data miner program into your computer when you access a survey using their platform. You will discover this when you do a virus scan on your computer. GoZing uses this platform almost exclusively for its surveys, so I don't bother doing their surveys anymore. Greenfield Online recently bought Gozing, and now web pages from GoZing, and OTX platforms are showing up in their surveys as well. The only thing I can figure is that Gozing is not in the business of gathering completed surveys, but rather, its in the business of gathering personal data on user's PCs otherwise inaccessible to them through data miner software.

I periodically have trouble with error messages when I try taking surveys through OTX Research. Contact the moderators regarding these error messages so they can better their site. I do have to say that OTX is completely worth taking surveys for as their payout rate is awesome, assuming you should qualify for surveys they conduct.

OTX Research platform used by gozingsurveys.com will implant suveillance software into your computer when you attempt to complete one of Gozing or Greenfield surveys that uses this platform. Greenfield and Gozing deny that they use data miners, but Norton Internet Security recognizes this surveillance software as a high threat to your computer security. I would rather believe Norton than Gozing.
