    What's your fave 5 search words on mturk?

    Here's mine
    1. Survey - I seem to find some of the simplest tasks here. Just filling out surveys for .01-.75 for a small ammount of time.
    2. Digg - Simply put people actually pay you to digg, stumbleupon, buzz up, ect... their article. If you're a member to these sites with auto login, this takes almost no time.
    3. Image - Usually moderating it
    4. Vote - Always easy to vote for someone
    5. Poll - 5 second poll has to be one of my favorites.

    An interesting technique to be sure. I really never really thought to do a search such as that. By HIT type.

    I hope it works well for you and makes you lots of coin.

    I am usually just hanging out in the low-rent district..."F5"ing for a shot at a $0.01 Mobicious or a prized AEI for a nickel.

    I am approaching 15000 HITS since the second week in Feb when I started Turking....and I still ain't a milionaire...damn, I wonder what I have been doing wrong?

    Didn't Donald Trump get the start on his empire by doing penny "Are these items different" HITS on MTurk.

    Or am I confusing him with a Donald "Chump"...like me?:confused:

    There's a nice 15 minute chocolate study that pays $2.50 right now.

    I search for:
    1. rewrite (rewriting sentences are favorite HITS of mine)
    2. business cards
    3. ten things
    4. voicemail
    5. snippet (grading snippets of transcripts takes a few seconds and pays $.04)

    I rarely search, just keep an eye on the most recent HITs and see if something good comes in.

    I actually think that categories would work well for mTurk. It could also allow for Amazon to more accurately describe the jobs to the public who are interested in turking.

    "There are currently XXX amount of survey hits some paying XXXX."
