These sites we will or may never know because of the incentive part.
The Main company has it own surveys ofcourse but they make collections from non-official partnered and official partnered sites to get the total.
So when you find yourself ticking "Adalind & Nick" on a poll question in a non-partnered site like - Which couple do you favour? You need to remember that some of these sites do have incentives for collecting data and sending them off to the main company like NBC.
