Find the search engine rankings for 3 keywords
« on: August 31, 2013, 03:08:24 pm »
I know a lot of you do this task. What am I supposed to do when I can't find the URL after page 10? I know it has the option "URL not found page 10." But then it still makes me fill out the other information like the wording on the site and it's ranking. How do I bypass that??? Or is it an error with that task?

I don't know. I couldn't figure out this either so I just tried another task instead

There was a button for url not found in first 10 pages, and then I always just typed that the URL wasnt found in the text box.  I still got credit for all the tasks doing it that way.

Thanks, I will try that. I didn't know what to type in the box.

What I do is select 10 for both the page and rank, check that the URL could not be found. 

Then if it's a verification question, I'll manually type in the URL and answer the verification question. 

If it's a task where they want you to copy a sentence, I'll enter that the URL could not be found (as most of those don't provide a URL to find, just the result "title")

There is a blank between Select Page and Page 1, this is where I put it, I check the box saying the URL wasnt found in first 10 pages of results...then I manually put the URL into my browser so I can answer the questions about the page (This does feel a bit like cheating, but you cant complete it otherwise)

What you need to do is join Crowd Flower and put in a "Problem" post.  Copy your "Contributor ID" and the "Job ID" from the drop-down menu under "Help" within the task.  In your post, explain the problem.  I've done this many times when I've had the very same problems you're having right now.  Crowd Flower employees read these posts and for the most part, when they find the same errors you're getting, you WILL get credited for the task anyway.

Ihad one I couldn't find and I clicked the not found and tried typing in not available and such but got error messages.  I had to join crowd flower to complete a task so now I will figure out how to log a problem with them!! That makes me feel better than just having to quit.

I type in the URL to get to the site  so that I can get the info to answer the verification ? and put page 10, rank 10. So many are screwed up that you got to get creative!
