Hey everyone,

New here, love this forum! I was just reading the thread on Gaming Facebook and the new open api for websites. I was wondering if anyone here has had any success using amazon's mechanical turk for sending an initial stream of people to your website or Facebook page to gain likes?

thx in advance.
 


The MTurk workers are faggots who don't do what you tell them and say they did.
 
Thx for the heads up. I also just saw that it is for people in the U.S only so i am ruled out. Just trying to think of good ways to get an initial spike of traffic to gain a few 100 likes.
 
MTurk workers are good for rote tasks like data entry, but they won't know how to gain FB fans.

It would probably be cheaper to just advertise on FB. I can run a campaign at $.50 CPM and usually end up paying around $.75 per 'Like' click. I'm sure a lot of the ballers here on WF can do much better, too.

Another option is always to hit up Fiverr. Lots of shady sellers there, but if you can get a decent plug for $5 you may end up with 20-30 followers.

HTH
 
lol when I was 14 I used something like Mechanical Turk (ClickThru Traffic Exchange) to pay people to click my Adsense ads for a hosting site I owned. Made ~$1000 before Google caught on... though they didn't ban my account (I guess they were a bit nicer back then). Just gave me a warning.

I find it funny banning people that use mturk to generate email submit leads. It's just a guilty pleasure of mine.

My guilty little pleasure is masking my traffic so that tacoX thinks it comes from somewhere else :D

Joking obvioulsy.


Answer to the OP,
dont use mechanical turk. You are much smarter if you use sites like freelancer.com for services like that.

Or to be honest if you want real people wha really are interested in what you have to offer then run PPC campaigns.

Little tip: cubics.com ::: you'll end up spending much less then in the facebook's internal ad platform.
