Says about 5-10 minutes. Good TO!

Took me almost precisely 5 minutes.

 

I'm never going to do Smartsheet again! 2 rejections, and I KNOW they have no problem giving rejections so I only submit when I am 1000% positive that I have the right answer. Did two last week, and both rejected. Well....F-it.

 

did this earlier, remember it to be relatively quick and easy

 

lmao

Yeah. I just found a 5.00 500 word Blog Review HIt about 30 mins ago. Had a 2 days timer. I forget to look at my "Hit's assigned to you" section sometimes.

 

randomly going through pending hits... everything beyond a week ago = carto swap...

is it weird that out of some really big batches of hits like jamie arguello or two lakes, i'll have 99% approved and one or two still pending?

 

That always happens to me. The other day had about 76 Two Lakes approved and one pending for 2 days. Weird!

 

does anyone else have an opinion on smartsheet?

 

I've never done anything for them. I see such mixed opinions of them and I'm really rejection-shy!

 

Is PPC going very slow for anyone else who's doing them?

 

I thought it was just my connection, but YES!

 

Yeah, have 6 or 7 loading at a time.

Just a heads up, I tried to do this but one of the pages took me to a youtube video that wouldn't play in that window and I couldn't get past that page. Returned it. Let me know if anyone has better results.

 

Fuck. I thought I had a Lu found but it turned out to be a laptop.

 

ok i'm going to return another goldsmith in 2 minutes!

i'm going to write some freaken amazing reviews for this. they're most likely going to get rejected or we won't won't get paid though LOL!! I emailed them for the 4th link that i was missing and showed them the 3 i had, and they emailed me back with 4 totally different links and one looked shady but they're nice about it so that makes me feel that there's a... 1% chance this is going to go well. nvm make that a 20% chance since they responded.

 

they're a go-between for their clients, so they duck any responsibility for rejections and aren't responsive to contact from turkers... definitely an at-your-own-risk proposition. i've done hundreds of some batches for them, never been rejected but i feel i may have been more lucky than anything else, and i try to avoid them when possible... i think they just rejected a ton of people today for a recent hit...

 

Argh, I was doing the PPCs because I try to always have at least 100 pending, but they've been approving as I've been doing them.
