    Hello my friends! Is anyone else finding the the new crowdsource requirements for the google url hits make them not want to do them? They seems to keep adding more work, but only raising the pay a tiny bit! I'm kinda having mixed feelings about that one.

    Depends on which ones you are talking about.

    I have stopped doing the 16¢ ones. YMMV.

    They lowered the pay rate for the HITs where you tell them the ranking of a url. It used to be one url for 5¢, now it is three for 12¢.

    A couple of weeks ago they changed it to 2 URL's for 0.10, then changed it to 3 URL's for 0.12.

    It still may be faster tho since they only require you to search up to the 5th Google page (used to be 10), and you save some time submitting and accepting. I usually max out on them when available because they were always a pretty fair requester. Just my 2 cents.

    I have noticed that I have some pending for a few days, where they were approved pretty much instantly before.

    I will agree. I went back and tried a few of these. After 5 pages I stopped looking and wrong "Not Found" in the url box. If that works, then I may give them a shot again.

    Yea its because you checked your email too late and someone else got the hits before you, but crowdsource is slacking off it was way better when I first started turking. I hope they get over their slump.

    I gave up on those 12 cent and 5 cent HITs. I haven't done much work for them lately.
