I have a lot of experience with contact harvesting and a lot of great tools at my disposal to find and verify email addresses, but what I don't have (with 390,000+ approved HITs and 99.9% approval rate) is the masters qualification.

By using masters, you severely limit your potential worker pool, you pay a premium fee to Amazon, and get no guarantee of experienced or quality workers.

If you'd consider changing your quals (you'd get the same results using "Total approved HITs is not less than 10,000" and "HIT approval rate is not less than 99%") I'd love to help with this project.

Title: Find the email address of company leader | PANDA Requester: Will Gordon [A2TOV53P4AAGWE] (TO) TO Ratings: 5.00 Communicativity 5.00 Generosity 5.00 Fairness 4.00 Promptness Number of Reviews: 1 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Given the website, company name, and address, find the company leader email Time: 60 minutes Hits Available: 132 Reward: $0.18 Qualifications: Masters has been granted; HIT approval rate (%) is greater than 90

I'd recommend adding to your instructions what workers should do if they search but can't find one or more of the fields. If workers spend time searching around and the information simply isn't out there, it isn't fair to expect them to skip the HIT and go onto another, without providing any payment for the time and effort they spent searching. Would it be acceptable for you for workers to enter "cannot be found" or something similar in fields where the information isn't available?

Thanks for the feedback! I published a new batch open to non-masters here: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=3AG2YDBQJVM5ZJ50FXR01B6BD3PHXC

I think you're right--I should add info for what to do in case you can't find the email. I think I should weigh more heavily on bonus payments for good info.

Right now, you have the qualification set to "greater than 99" which means that only people with a perfect 100% (no rejections on MTurk ever) can access your HITs.

I have a few minutes before work - I wanted to work on these the other day but I didn't have 100% approval....16,000+ approved and 99.9% ....thanks for re-releasing them.

Also, I've come across two that I spent about 10 minutes looking and searching for and still couldn't find any e-mail address for anyone...do you want us to just return them when we can't find anything?

 

[wgordon]

N/A is fine if you can't find anything
