That's something else. It's (it was) a marketing product.

> Google Surveys is a market research tool that allows you to easily create online surveys in order to make more informed business decisions. Users complete survey questions in order to access high quality content around the web, and publishers get paid as their users answer the surveys. Google automatically aggregates and analyzes responses, providing the data to you in a simple online interface.
