I did one of his the other day. TO isn't too good but I found the info that should get me approved. If I had to do it over again I'd probably pass. Just be prepared to return it if you're unable to get him the info he wants.
That's hilarious. Just look at the number available. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/searchbar?selectedSearchType=hitgroups&requesterId=A2V6GCHMZ3W89V
I know someone who does those. They're numbers to her. To me they're too much work. I did a few as a noob then one day I had a business card that was full, dude have like 4 numbers, etc. Took 10 min. Decided then it was more profitable to clean out the sofa for change.
Decent TO - Took about 4-5 minutes Title: Goal Study Requester: Personality Lab [AT4BTPXKIEA3O] (TO) Description: Answer a short survey about your goal and feelings Reward: $0.50 Qualifications: Total approved HITs is not less than 100, HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 95, Location is US Link: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2PBXCNHMVHVKJO72VFT7AJ7FQY213U [size=-2]Powered by non-amazonian script monkeys [/size]
Title: Experiment (< 10 minutes) about different kinds of judgments Requester: Erik Lohre [A2FHQ39T6BBNIN] (TO) Description: You will be given a couple of simple tasks concerning different kinds of judgments. This is part of a research project and the results may be used in publication. Participation is voluntary, and responses are anonymous. Reward: $0.60 Qualifications: HIT approval rate (%) is greater than 97, Location is US Link: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2NPDAT2D5NQYLMJRNJAG9TZPNC1734 4 mins for me and, as usual, I'm slow with these
For the Ormiston Google search HITs, do we put in any descriptive sentence from the page? Because that's what I've been doing and I just got one and noticed the instructions for it changed and now say "Post the last six words on the page in the box", now I'm freaking out thinking I'll get rejections
I emailed him 3 days ago about that, no reply. I did one of them where the instructions asked for the last 6 words, but instead put in a sentence relating to the keyword as the instructions said. It got approved so I don't know. I've done like 130 of those HITs from 3 different requesters and have like 100 pending.. Ormiston's HITs for google right now are only paying like $.20 for 3 words, right? Edwin Massey usually pays $.30 or $.25 for the same HIT but it's easier work since the keywords are all very related and usually gamma labs.
Feel free to page me when the golden batch arrives today. I'm going to take a break and play some SCII

I did some of those before the TO went up, still waiting with fingers crossed. Hopefully he's just a noob who doesn't get how things work and comes through. He put up a couple batches with a VERY short timer looking for info from websites. Some were ok when they were fresh, but what's left is the picked over leftovers nobody could finish and had to be returned. I wouldn't touch them with somebody else's ten foot pole.
