Can't Find Good HITs? 9/15

It is always like this during the weekend usually.

 

Yeah today seems to be a tough cake.

 

It did for me too. I got exactly 43 hits in and then it said there wasn't anymore..lol. Must be limited to 43 per worker is my guess. Thanks for the hit whoever posted it =] I am taking the weekend easy. sunday-friday I made around $500 so I am happy as can be. Good luck turking to all. Hope everyone meets their goals for today. Much luck!

 

Holy hell, how did you make that much?

 

What's the deal with 'infosecinstitute.com' website in the 43 HITs? Didn't get the assignment.

 

I think I'm going to work on getting all my ducks in a row today. As a newbie Turker here's what I have done so far this week:

Downloaded greasemonkey
Installed TO
Installed Today's Projected Earnings and Pending HITs

Things I plan on doing today:

Configure Turk Alert
Set up a profile for CrowdFlower and CrowdSource
Complete some quals

Anything else I should do?
Do you guys have any suggestions for who I should add to Turk Alert or what quals I should get?

TIA

 

It's SEO. They want people doing those searches and clicking on their links to raise their rankings in Google. I don't think there's any particular significance to the number 43, but what they do want is different people from different IP addresses doing this so it looks more fluid. Notice how few of the searches don't have a result from that website near the top? Also a few of the searches even lead to black hat sites.

 

Not .10 a min but it's something

15 minute survey for 60 cents
Requester: Jason Siegel

 

That's a pretty smart marketing strategy right there.

 

Where can I set up a profile for these guys?

 

Same here, I contacted them but i'm not going to let the thing time out. So hopefully they contact me within an hour.

 

Batch hit. Only pays 1 cent but can be done quickly.
Warning: NO TO RATING

Uh-huh. Thanks, ds, for the insight!

 

For CrowdFlower, there is a contributor dashboard inside their hits that you can click the link and create a profile. CrowdSource sent me an email with a link to their website to create a profile.

 

Requester: Survos

Cigarette survey- 75cents - less than 5mins

 

Only look for it on the first page? And also write down what number it is on
the page (page 1 number 9)?
Couldn't understand much from the instructions :/

 

FYI this survey is back up now, and appears to be fixed. I made it through the game without problem.

edit: Nevermind, there is NO confirmation code at the end of the survey. Seems like this requester has no idea what he's doing so I don't know if I want to take my chances of submitting the HIT and then emailing...

 

thank you guys <3

I've been lurking the past few days, and you guys have helped me out so very much. I'm really grateful for everything. I'll try to post a few good HITs I find.

 

Welcome!

I think this is the biggest thanks anyone can offer, although of course that's JMO. I appreciate it. Good luck ---I've found this forum a huge help, too.

 

Very stupid question...Are we to write "interesting tweet" or "uninteresting tweet" in the optional feedback box? I didn't see anywhere to click anything...
