Best Requesters for Amazon Mechanical Turk!

While on my Amazon Mechanical Turk phase of life I noticed there are a lot of BS requesters.  Many of them you have to watch out for and ignore, go through 10 extra pages to get past “Dolores Labs” and find the quick and easy $.02 hits that you can do a 1000 of.

Today I am going to tell you just a few of the trusted requesters I look for on a daily basis, hopefully this can help you out with your Mturk habit:


  • Amazon Requester Inc. This is a fantastic requester.  One of their most popular hits is the “Quick Survey: evaluate a short phrase”.   Each hit takes about 3 seconds asking if the two words are offensive, if you like the phrase, change one of the words to make a new phrase, and than how many syllables are in the phrase.  Sound simple enough? I hope so I just busted 500 out in 2 hours. $.02 a hit.

  • RelevanceQuest – This is another great user with a simplified scheme.  On the “Web Search Quality” hits it shows a statement and a link, if the link shows relevance to the phrase you rate it on a scale of 1-5.  $.02 a hit.

  • Tal Lev-Ami – This requester has a hit “answer a given question” not too hard, takes a little bit but the payout is decent: $.10.


Those are just a few if you know a few good more requesters comment on the blog and let us know! We all must share for the sake of money!

But lastly, I am sure people out there using Amazon Mechanical Turk spend a lot of time (wasting) looking for a good hit to do.  Well, if you have a favorite requester just look ‘em up!
