I&#039;ve recently returned to mturk after a year or so of basically inactivity. A couple years ago, I regularly wrote for Content Galore, which was great. I was able to make great money in my spare time until they went belly up, started rejecting HITs out of hand, and effectively disappeared. This plummeted my approval % from a little above 95 to now around 92, disqualifying me from a lot of HITs and souring mturk for me for a while.<br />

I have a notoriously bad approval/rejection rate with mTurk because the second major round of HITs that Amazon put up during the 2005 beta test had a notoriously high rejection rate. It was difficult to match a band name with the right CD cover art in a way that would satisfy Amazon. So I ended up with over 2200 rejections in 2005 and probably 15,000 approvals....<br />
