I was b2b, kids accidently turned of the computer, now I am lucky to get one every 15 minutes...yuck!

Ouch! That's gotta hurt. Good thing your kids (I'm assuming that's them in your sig) are so darn adorable.

I am pretty close to b2b right now - i might make my 20 by 1:00 and then I am going to bed.. although I hate to go to bed when it is actually working!

Yeah adorable but deadly!

 

[stacielee]

Me too!

Actually, I was updating my TR from Halloween and got so into it, I forgot I was logged in. It had been so long since I'd gotten a question that when it finally ding donged, it scared me!!!

I've had exactly 3 questions in the last hour and a half.

Well, at least you have over 200, I haven't even gotten that many yet; hopefully, I can make up about 30 tomorrow and be over! I can't use the vacation pay this week, that's for next week!!!

Aren't they all?

Barely over 200. And with those times I was booted out.....well, who knows what will happen. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully a good one for us all.

Okay I think I have figured out what is happening..... I went 5 hours and only got 3 questions, then it started picking up I was getting a question every 10 minutes, and every question had the word virgin in it, then I slowly started getting questions about ben franklin and george washington, and then around 10 o'clock I hit the Obama jackpot. I was getting B2B Obama questions with the occasional virgin question mixed in. From what others were saying in the forum a lot of people were getting just keyword queries (only 1 word repeated in all of their questions). No 2 people seemed to be reporting the exact same topic. Which leads me to believe certain keywords were being routed to just 1 or a few guides. I got disconnected earlier and now I can't get a question to save me life. I think once I got kicked off someone else with Obama as a keyword started getting my Obama queries and now I have to sit and wait for someone with a keyword I have to log off. I could be crazy, but it seems like only so many people can be drawing queries from the same key word at a time, and when they log off another guide gets that keyword, hence me going without questions for so long, then getting B2B Obama, then nothing when I got kicked off.

You might have something there-

My least favorite interest is movie times- you guess it, last night - all my questions were about what movies are showing and their times!

Yuck! I only added movies last week in a desperate attempt to get any questions at that time.

However, I was so thankful for any work that I answered them with gusto.

This morning is REALLY slow...........anyone else? Maybe all the teenagers are still sleeping and it is too early for them to text in.

 

[dawz1026]

veryyyyy slooooow

 

[momof1princess]

yep...very slow. i signed on, got 2 questions, b2b, then waited 5 minutes for another. gonna be a long day...

 

[Mikelly1221]

I need some advice regarding my interests. I do have some specific interests (Disney, Harry Potter, Florida), but I also have general interests (times, directions, definitions, history). I have a bunch of them. Do you think I should scrap all of them and start over. Before the whole 20 question business, they were serving me very well w/B2B questions most of the time. Since all the trouble started, I haven't had B2B at all. What do you think? Are my interests slowing me down?

 

[graygables]

Did everyone see this: http://cms.ibj.com/ASPXPages/6iframes/FrontEndArticlesDetailPage.aspx?ArticleID=24022&NoFrame=1

Important to read, I think. I've had 22 queries this week. I'm reconsidering my options.

 

[worm761]

That article is all over the forums. There is nothing new in it that we don't already know if you read the blogs, knowledgebase, and forums.

 

[mommaU4]

Well, that article confirms what people having been speculating about over on the forums. Oh well, it was good while it lasted. Gave me a little extra Christmas money. I'm not sure I'll continue dealing with it though.

 

[mommaU4]

I have been logged on for over a half an hour with nary a question.

 

[momof1princess]

they're trickling in slowly over here. yesterday afternoon was b2b until i logged off at about 9:15 pm, this is nothing like that. i'll get 1-2 queries b2b, then nothing for a few minutes, then maybe 1 or 2 more, if i'm lucky.

ETA: something has GOT to be going on. i've never seen a saturday (well, except for last saturday) where queries weren't b2b all day and evening.

 

[momejay]

I think you are on to something with the keywords. I was logged in earlier & only got questions about law & constitutional ammendments. Now I get only football crap. I am not gettin any generalist questions.

 

[Mikelly1221]

I deleted all my keywords and reput them in from scratch. I'm getting nothing! And they aren't all specific-some are specific and some are general. I've cleared my cache. What gives?

Here's another question. I'm a "pay me monthly". Right now, I have a little over $70.00 that I'm owed. If I'm not getting questions, how am I going to make it to $100.00 to cash out?

 

[dawz1026]

Its pretty funny that they are still having contests...whos the winner going to be? The one with 3 queries in 5 hours...

I've had 2 questions all morning long.


For those of you on the Pay Me Monthly, isn't today payday? When does it get deposited?
