Pros

Cons

I should have listened to other reviews on TO stating this req will eventually reject your work. I definitely did everything correctly and have done many previous hits of these. Additionally, this is referral spam (or search manipulation), which is a policy violation of both MTurk & Amazon's selling/referral platform

I am fairly certain this is a questionable practice on part of requester, gaming the Amazon algo to rank high in their searches. If you examine the product links you're clicking, you'll see its a specific search term with a referral code. I'm betting that by adding these products to your cart, you are helping this individual rank highly for the specified search term. In other words, you're helping them cheat the system. As such, you should be aware that this person probably doesn't care much about ethical practices in relation to the work you are doing for them.

If this wasn't such a trick by a spammy marketer type, then they could simply link directly to the product instead of a keyword search. Likewise, there is no reason to have the same people checking the same products daily. "Checking tax" is simply a fake cover for what they are really doing here.

Approved

$10.29 / hour

Pros

After you get the hang of the workflow, these are relatively easy to complete.

As an addendum, while the HIT pay might be average, this Requester goes beyond excellent and way above the call of duty on Communication with Workers. There's been a couple of HITs that were rejected by the Requester's auto filtering system due to URL issues (and at least one that was due to me copying and pasting the wrong data) and anytime I've emailed him he always, without fail, overturns those rejections quickly. He even assigned me a bonus in the past for offering some suggestions on UI design changes for his HITs in an email!

Cons

None.

Advice to Requester

Please keep doing what you're doing as far as communication. Other Requesters on this platform would do well to look at how you handle communicating with the Workers here as an example of how to do it properly!

Pros

Approvals almost instantly.

Cons

Multiple listings, as each is a different product. You can only do 1 for each product a day.
They take time, multiple steps. Amazon is used (as you have to add things to your cart, review them (to get to the total price, any discounts and tax area)), at least the cart is.
They take time to do because of the steps/pages. Could be worth more - about $0.25-0.30 each would be much better, as I'm sure you may be able to speed up once you get into the groove - even if you can only do one. If not, I think a $0.40 would be a great price point for these.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
