how long do you spend on these??? I'm finding the minutes tick by faster than I can capture the info...for $.09 ?? Just wondering
My hourly rate isn't great on these either. Andy K is known to be trigger-happy with the hard blocks, too, so when I can't find contact info, I feel the need to write a novel explaining everything that was/wasn't there to try. Which makes the dead ends take even longer.
If I can't find contact info easily or quickly, I just return it. I don't want to risk getting a rejection or a block. I just do the ones I can find the info on.
I don't accept these until i've clicked on the blog and see an email address almost right away, maybe not the best method but it's working alright lol
Really? Andy K is a blocker? I've yet to receive a rejection from him and I've done 1000's. If you can't find any contact info just say something like "no contact info give, no link". If they have a facebook/twitter account you can also use that as a page link (option 2) While some of these may take a good 40 second to do, most of them don't. Add to that the fact that there is a steady supply - you're not wasting time searching for other HIT's.
I'm doing the same thing. I've lost a few because they're gone when I try to accept, but I don't want to take the risk.
He blocked me and several other people at TN a long time ago. Someone else said she emailed him and asked him to please double check that he blocked the right person or didn't misread something, and she got unblocked. I emailed him, too, asking him to please double check that he thought I deserved to be blocked (I never rush on his HITs since the hourly rate is high, so I was pretty sure it was SOME sort of mistake on his end), and while he never replied to my email, he did unblock me. But yeah...I've been twitchy with his HITs ever since. YMMV. He is a good requester, but there's something on his end (maybe an employee who sucks at identifying the actual bad workers?) that's resulted in several unfair blocks that I know of. BUT, he does unblock if you email him after an unfair block. ETA: I never got a rejection before the mysterious block, either. Not even a feedback comment. Just that shocking email out of the blue one day from Amazon saying he'd blocked me.
You're such a misleader Athena! lol With that said.. F these hits lol Normally I like Andy K but I can't handle these. Find email for a blog. Pft. Indeed LOL Just attempting a couple shows me how completely inexperienced I am with blogs, finding an email on one is like stabbing under my nails with bamboo shoots.
Andy K is hit or miss. Sometimes he'll post a batch of 10 second hits for like 5 cents each, other times he'll put up 3 cent batches that take a minute each. Very inconsistent.
I don't think bloggers usually even give actual emails. I've tried this type of HIT before with virtually no success.
I found a lot. They put it on the side on a lot of these- For most of mine it was the right side under view profile- Sometimes it was right on the side on the front page.
