    Yeah people would be surprised how many extra page request people add. Like https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/6150-mturk-queue-count doubles the number of request for each hit you do.

    I think a good test is if you are getting errors on your own navigation on mturk, looking for hits, working the queue, whatever. Last night I had 3 pandas running, two at 2 seconds, one at 1 second and did see a few errors, so that was a bit too agressive, at least for my connection.

    Generally I have as many as 6 or 8 surveys at ~10-15 seconds, some requester pandas (viral, burke, etc) at speeds 30-300 seconds, and perhaps one faster one at 3 or 4 seconds when needed. If something good shows up, I tend to shut everything down and start a single panda at 1 or 2 seconds.

    Note this is with turkmaster, which seems to do a pretty good job regulating itself -- you can set a bunch of fast pandas, but if you watch it, they won't run anywhere near as often as you ask.

    Should be noted I don't use hit scraper or anything else that adds to the load -- I suspect you'd have to back off on the times if something else is sending queries too.

    Looks like I'm getting all the booty. That's all I've seen tonight. And a few random pictures not related to anything.

    Oh one other things that can contribute lots of page request that people might not notice. If you are doing a significant amount of hits and have any type of today's projected earnings script running you will probably run into max page views when you visit your dashboard, I personally turn it off once I've hit about 600 hits for the day.

    I wish I did that 30.00 hit at this time of night instead of catching it at midnight. That was horrrrrrrible.

    I'm still glad that you caught that thing instead of me. But at least you have $30!

    i saw my weekly earning report and was VERY thankful for that 30.00 or I would have been ever more depressed. I just wish I didn't throw back the 90.00 one. lol

    What was the 90 dollar survey anyways. Couldn't imagine wanting to stick with a survey that long unless it was ungodly good paying.

    This probably isn't what you want to hear, but I heard that the $90 one wasn't too bad at all.

    2 page paper for 90 bucks depending on topic that is pretty damn good. What kind of paper was it a research paper or what?

    Faithers can answer your question a lot better than I can, but one morning I was lurking on MTG and people were saying it was the hit of the century.
