Can't Find Good HITs? 1/30

And so we stop for tonight. After the first ones I got about 15 that were more or less what I would expect Google to autofill with. May be helpful.

 

Yeah thats actually a great idea..We can always open up google and put in the term and based on the results we can categorize the terms..

On the Gaylon Polatti I think the last 15 have all been ... May be useful..... Anyone else have runs like that. I'm a little worried.

 

59secs for me.

Only 20 hits today. Around 8.80. Let me get to $9

 

I did. I stopped for now. If he ends up rejecting mine I'll be in some hot water record wise and I don't want to potentially screw myself.

 

Did 300 readabl's in an hour and a half or so.
Taking a quick break

 

Man, its just not worth it to me. I really want to try doing these, but its just not worth the potential for worry.

 

They are great hits, but rejections make me sad. I wonder if he takes samples and grades them, or if its majority rules.

 

.01 or .05?

LOL, the .01 ones. I've never really tried to do their .05 HITs.

 

I open about 15 tabs at once and only accept the hits I'm certain about. I'm not too worried about rejections.

The only problem is, you can get hit with the 5 minute account halt if you're not careful.

 

I just get confused when Its like Given the initial term -- eri -- how useful is this suggestion: Erin rice football? I guess it would be May be useful.

 

Ok, Over 400 readabls. I'm spent.
Did 10% of all my HITs in the last 3 hours

 

I'd consider that too narrow. I now understand the dilemma.

 

Umm, would somebody in here calm me down and tell me that I didn't just risk my account by doing 2,000 gaylon's? I have 26k approved and 99.9 as of now, really hate to see that right number change.

 

Well, my eagerness to break the 2500 HIT (and irritation at crappy past few days for us newer peeps with low numbers) barrier made me go against better judgement and give it hard and heavy to that Gaylon batch.

Here's hoping my weekend isn't spent curled in the fetal position and crying from the burn of mass rejects.

On a completely different note - Carl Winslow. It's makes my inner child so happy every time I see your avatar - never change it please

 

From what I can tell, Gaylon rejects but maybe it's when the HITs are blatantly wrong. From mtnsurf's example, Gaylon might reject it if someone puts 'misspelled' or something. I dunno. Maybe we all took a bad risk. Only thing to do now is wait and see...

 

I won't.
