11/08 - Woot Woot Wednesday!

gif of the day

 

Don't miss on our HIT: "Guess the correlation and get up to $10" .. we will run this HIT 1 more time today (more will come tomorrow and the day after)

In the HIT, you will be asked to guess the correlation from a scatter plot (with a twist). The game must be played from a desktop or laptop (No mobile support). The actual HIT will require people to be online simultaneously.

Requester ID: AGEIRIHRRYV6P

The Qualification HIT information:
HIT title: (Qual HIT) Guess the correlation and get up to $10
Time: 2pm EDT
Expected HIT length: 30 seconds
Qualification: "Guess the Correlation Score" qualification is NOT granted

The actual HIT information:
HIT title: [Play immediately] Guess the correlation and get up to $10
Time: 3pm EDT
Expected HIT length: 10-35 minutes (depending on condition)
HIT expectations:

• Your decision to participate in the experiment is entirely voluntary.
• 45 participates will receive the quals and 36 will play the game.
• The remaining participants who are granted the quals (maximum 9, if everyone shows up on time, which is never the case) will be in the surplus room (in case someone goes idle or fails the attention checks).
• People in the surplus room will be paid the base of $2 and this will not effect their future participation in our HITs.
• The bonus varies across conditions (randomly assigned), as some conditions have longer expected play time (maximum bonus ranges from $2 to $8 based on condition)
• The average pay $14/hr so far.
• People who join the HIT late will receive: "Sorry, we've missed you" message. This is important to avoid the problem of people auto-accepting the HIT without playing immediately. In previous runs, we experienced 3-5 participants that accept the HIT and go idle (i.e., not showing up on time).

If you are to participate and get assigned the qualification, it is critical that you show up on time at the beginning of the time window. Otherwise, it would delay the start of the game for the other participants.

 

If you're serious about being a successful affiliate, I'd pay the one-time cost of poring tediously over the TOS.

Nobody likes reading TOS statements, but Amazon has a lot of "gotchas" and snags to navigate, as @ChrisTurk will attest to.

Rekog - why you gotta do this to me.

Ted wakes up in the morning wondering what to name his hit. He grabs some coffee, sits down at his desk, and looks over at his cat rolling around on the floor, happily. He now has a name for his hit.

 

That's not your chin.

 

Ewww. Yes. Please let your internal folks do Celebrity. Ugh.

 

@dan

You always have these :^)

Great advice.

Alternatively, you could just continually sign up, get denied, fix w/e they told you was wrong (..if you can), then try again.

BTW if anyone is wondering I recently bought this can opener and its pretty good. (I'm actually not lying its out of my purchase history and I do like it but I mostly wanted to pimp amazon in joke form): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T4RH8E6/?tag=thtv02-20
