    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!

    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.

    That's a pretty smart marketing strategy right there.

    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.

    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...

    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.
