Oh wise ones.
I've noticed several sites doing some nice surveys, but I can't figure out
exactly what they are doing. Here's basically what happens:
I spend some time at their site, click on a number of links, then this window
pops up and asks if I will answer a few questions. I can answer then, wait
'til later (minimizes the window), decline, or say that I don't know enough
about the site yet. I am not logged into these sites, so I haven't provided
them with any information (other than what they can collect on me :)
Now that I've dismissed the survey, I can't seem to get it back. Its like
they know that I've already seen it, which they probably do.
What I can't figure out is what technology is behind it. Are they displaying
it after a given time interval, a given number of link clicks, or some random
pattern? Any pointers would be excellent!
For reference, I encountered these surveys at

Thanks a million,
