I spent (wasted) almost 10 minutes answering the BlogHer survey, then got to the income question. I never give out income information in surveys or online. Any other survey I’ve taken gives you an option to leave that blank. This one wouldn’t let me proceed until I filled in the income amount, which I won’t do. This really is a negative about BlogHer, as far as I’m concerned. Yes, it might help their survey statistics, but someone should be able to participate without giving out financial information. I saw no place where I could sent an e-mail to BlogHer about this.
Mary Emma,
Sounds like that was definitely an oversight on the survey and something I’m sure the team at BlogHer would like to hear your opinion about.
If you scroll to the bottom of the home page of BlogHer.com, there is a contact link. Here it is:

Hi Mary Emma:
Susan is right that this was an oversight, not a purposeful decision. In previous surveys we’ve always offered a Decline to State for this question. We’re using a different tool this time around, and I think this just got missed.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
I will personally have an eagle eye out for this when we do our next survey.
Thanks so much for the update, Elisa!
