Searching Google for a poll to put on your blog brings up a myriad of results, but which do you choose? Most require you to sign up and by the time you do you are disappointed with the results: the poll is ugly, or maybe there's advertising on it that you don't want on your blog. I stumbled across Pollverize a couple of months ago and was pleasantly surprised. Pollverize is simple yet has to be the best poll service out there. While it does require a sign up there are no ads (other than a small text link back to Pollverize) and the poll will fit seamlessly into your blog, fitting the surrounding formatting. Here's what Pollverize has to say on it's homepage:

"At Pollverize you can sign up and create an unlimited amount of free polls. Why choose Pollverize? You can get free polls anywhere. Pollverize has anticheating protection, but that is nothing special. Choose Pollverize to get something that no other remotely hosted poll service offers (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong): Pollverize polls require no refresh to display results and they integrate seamlessly into your website (no iframes)."
