This decision may reflect some existing bias which effects the collected data. The sampling problem exists because the sample is not random, and thus does not reflect an equal representation of the population. In spite of this, sampling does not represent a major problem given that the objective of the surveys was to determine the profiles of the Web site visitors, and those who completed the survey were precisely the people the survey was targeting. Since this was the first time the survey project had been conducted, there were a number of difficulties in data collection and compilation. The problems will be addressed in future projects to avoid such discrepancies.
