Step 1
If you're looking for legitimate survey sites, the quality of the site's web design should be one obvious clue. Professional businesses now how important it is to hire a good designer. If the site is ugly and difficult to navigate, the company is probably less than legit.
-
Step 2
When you register with a survey site, you'll be asked to provide information about your age, occupation, geographic location, and other demographic characteristics. If the company is legitimate, there should be a privacy policy to prevent your personal information from being sold or distributed without your consent. A good survey site will also have a policy against spamming survey participants.

Step 3
One final tip that also applies to a number of other work at home opportunities: see if the Better Business Bureau has any complaints on file regarding the company in question. One complaint doesn't necessarily mean the company is a scam, but several similar complaints could indicate questionable business practices.

Actually most of the surveys are scams.I've been scammed many times, but finally I found a
legitimate paid survey company.Now I make more than $3,000/month and I work only several
hours a day.
I thought that I should share this site:

on 12/19/2009 If a survey site is asking you for money to buy something than it's a scam. The really legitimate sites are those that are absolutely free to join and don't ask for ANY money for ANY reason. After all, when you apply for a regular job do you pay the prospective employer money during the interview? Of course not.
Above your comment is a post by momswallet. Copy and paste that link into your browser. There you will find a list of free sites to join that pay either in cash, gift certificates or both. I already belong to a majority of the sites that she has listed and they are VERY good survey sites. They do pay.
Good luck to you!

on 11/14/2009 To find legitimate survey sites is not easy these days and as said in the article it takes time you to get surveys from one site. It is therefore necessary to join as many as possible survey sites. You can find more information about this at: http://www.legitimatepaidsurveysonline.com/

on 11/2/2009 Here is a comprehensive list of many legitimate, free, paying survey sites. I personally use all of these and get paid! By paying - I mean cash, paypal, gift certificates and prizes. NOT sweepstakes and entries into drawings. I feel like those are a waste of time since your chances of winning are so small that you are basically doing surveys for free.
