Being in business for decades, Nielsen has their operations down pat. If you encounter a problem you can email or call. You should expect little to no delay in response to your query.

PermissionResearch

This biggest negative with Permission Research is that your primary reward is sweepstakes and not direct rewards for your participation. While the company is certainly reputable and there are winners, a certain degree of luck is need to make this program worth your while.

If you're looking for a more conventional company that pays out directly in cash and gift cards, you may want to look elsewhere.

Nielsen Mobile

Unfortunately, while installing Nielsen Mobile is easy money, they are only accepting certain groups, at least for the time being. If you're a tablet user, you simply have to be 18 or older. For smartphone users, the company is currently only accepting members 45 or older. These requirements may change as Nielsen's demographic needs shift.

The best part about Permission Research is that there's not much active participation required for you to have a chance to be rewarded. The only requirement is that you download their software and allow them to anonymously monitor your Internet usage. The software is completely safe, but if you have a lot of other programs running on your PC you may not want to endure the extra strain on your resources.

Additionally, you may receive survey invites via pop-ups (which you can turn off), which can be a bit annoying.

This program is worth a try, but certainly isn't for everyone. The upside is that you could get lucky and hit the big one with the sweepstakes offer. Plus, there is limited downside as the software is easily removed if you decide to no longer participate.

Nielsen Mobile

Nielsen PC and Mobile
won't earn you a ton of money, but you won't have to do much of anything to get your $50 in yearly rewards. If you like passive income, this program is ideal.

You can install this app with confidence as Nielsen has an impeccable reputation. They're simply trying to do for mobile device usage what they've done for TV ratings. The company has an extensive privacy policy to allay privacy fears. They simply want to know what you're watching on your mobile device.

In short, there's very little, if any, downside to trying this app. Users have reported no slowdowns in their devices and no privacy breaches. If for some reason you don't like it, it's a one-click uninstall.

If you fall into the demographic that is currently being accepted, there's no reason you shouldn't give Nielsen Mobile a try!
