They're pretty good when you can get them, but for some reason they only put up about 20 at a time (but multiple times a day). Sure do wish I could just marathon these!
I think it's very simple actually. When people do too many HIT's are one time the quality of their work suffers. On the other end, they probably didn't expect 10,000 HIT's to be completed so quickly, and it puts a damper on their workflow. I could also be wrong about both, but the pattern seems consistent with a lot batch hits.
But just 20 at a time? I see what you mean, but I suspect internal QC...issues...or something....of some sort happening. But I might be very very wrong. ETA: We might be agreeing in different words.
I've emailed CroudSource on a few occasions. I think it differs with their clients specific requests. In this case, they may only get a certain number of items to complete throughout the day or their contract calls for a small number of jobs done at any time. I know specifically on those 16 cent Google HITs, you are only capped at like 20-30 as per their clients request. I did email them and say I could bang out 10,000 of them but they said it wasn't their call
I just did two where the article had nothing to do with the keyword at all. I looked through the article, links within it and around it, and all advertisements on the page and there was just nothing there. I marked them neutral and for my example I just copied the title of the article and posted that. Is this what I'm supposed to do? I considered writing something like "not relevant to the keyword" in the box, but decided against it.
I just clicked on another one. One Keyword was "Apple". One keyword was "T-Mobile". They both linked to the same article which didn't appear to have anything to do with either one of them. I returned it.
I love these hits. They pay very well. I just type in "N/A" when something is completely irrelevant and leave a note in the comments. The "N/A" is consistent with other tasks if you check a box.
I've had that several times. What I do is rate the sentiment on the actual article against the key word. So, if the article is saying Samsung sales soar, and the key word is Apple, and nothing in the article mentions Apple, I would but negative, or very negative and highlight the sentence that says Samsung sales soar. I have never been rejected on them. I don't even think Crowdsource rejects anyway, but I would not return them.
Lots of times you will see your keyword hidden in a menu or along the bottom. In this case I put "Keyword not in article - in side menu" (or 'different headline' or whatever the case may be) and mark it neutral. Never had a problem.
