I recall that it didn't take as long as I felt it should but not sure if that is dues to a progress bar thing or just my expectation. I did just see a makeup HIT they posted for some apparent technical glitch. So if that was the case with you, should be good.
Thank you for the great night. Projected to make 18 bucks today. That's more then enough to meet a meager 50 dollar goal. I'm nearly there! is this okay?

If someone can shed some light please: Someone tried to explain this to me but I just wasn't getting it. I have hit scraper. How do I use it? What exactly does it do?
It basically is a better search than MTurk's standard search. Go here: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/findhits?match=true?hit_scraper Put in values (an example: 0 refresh, 10 pages, 1.00 minimum pay, leave the other stuff as is) then hit start. It will search those 10 pages for the HITs you are qualified for that pay over 1.00 and give you results on a screen that shows the requester name, HIT title, pay, an accept link, and highlights it based on TO color.
On the installation page there should have been a link at the bottom. Bookmark this link. Then, when you have your Mechanical Turk page open, click on the bookmark.
You pretty much just fill in the variables at the top, then hit start. Auto Refresh Delay you put in a time in seconds, that's how often it runs the search. The rest should be pretty self explanatory. Sort types is how you want the results filtered, like on the MTurk page. Give it a whirl, it's really helpful!
it's pretty great I started using it this week and have averaged $60/day the last 3 days and I haven't even woken up before like 12-1
