Add a mailto: link on the web page for this.  Insure people that 
information will be kept confidential and publish only generic usage 
statistics.  Have the mail link go to someone's private e-mail 
address (this could even be a special address set up using one of the 
free mail servers such as Hotmail or Yahoo).  Someone would have to 
volunteer to do the work of compiling information gathered in this 
manner.  The results will still not be overly accurate, however.  As 
a volunteer poll you can expect a very low percentage of users 
actually participating.
