Do these "tasks" seem weird to you?

What is the point in them? Advertising in some way? Am I the only one who thinks they are really odd?

I just took a quick glimpse yesterday and returned to the discussions so I am not the right person to judge them. What I am finding odd is the fact that so many users have spent time to earn money doing the tasks then come here and start repeat discussions which will not earn them a penny and others respond on them too - then they will all complain too!

I sincerely apologize for my repeat discussion!!!! I just posted one to say that I really don't want people to lose their earnings here. My computer locked up at one point while posting. My discussion disappeared from my page. I assumed (probably a fatal mistake on my part) that my work was erased. So I posted again. Please accept my apologies!! It truly was an honest mistake.

Not this one! I know when a mistake has occurred I am talking about all the discussions but by different users asking the same questions on the last 5 pages of this interest. Got it?

Oh, thank you! I guess I'm feeling a bit vulnerable about my goof up! Thanks for explaining! You make me feel much better!

Hello Rocketj1, From my own point of view, i would say that they earn from the task they give us. We get the credit for the job also by being paid here on Mylot. Most tasks given will benefit those who are interested in writing articles or they enjoy blogging. Other tasks are suited also for SEO's job (Search Engine Optimization) and Researchers. But the thing is, we are paid for it and that is also an additional money for us. I just hope that the next task for writers here, i will be able to participate. I was not aware of the topic, nor did i know anything about that certain kind of product, that is why i was not able to join the article writing opportunity. But i was able to try on the task given on a Review. Happy Mylotting!

yes they are weird and I can't figure out how to do them so I didn't bother with them.

Al right the tasks. Forget about what someone on this told about going on the tasks and returning here to discuss and complain and make diddlysquat. I for one am not that interested in evaluating a product or in making a review or doing the equivalent on search until you find it. However discussions on food, etc. that would be interesting or finding out recipes, etc. trying them out and giving the results, etc. Now I am interested in the E-Wos tool bar and was all ready to see how it works, and then I goes to download it, and then find it went to the page not found. So why can I not download this toolbar?

Hi rocketj1! It is a little weird alright. I did one task and I don't think it will be approved. I got confused on the instructions as well and I can not download the toolbar. I think it is all new to me until this time but for now, I will just stick with the discussions. Maybe when they will offer new tasks that are easier to do, I will get excited again. take care and blessings to you! lovelots..faith

Yeah, I think they are pretty weird, but then again this is all new. I really did not have a personal opinion about most of the stuff. I did go online to get a little informative about some of the stuff. The one task that I did do, I couldn't get it to work, and ended up having to forfeit the task after I had done all of the research and typing. I feel that it takes a lot of time, and I will probably try it again later.

You certainly are not the only one who thinks that they are odd. I have decided not to even visit the "Task" page anymore. I just don't get the point of it at all.

Someone is gathering internet marketing content. The 4 paragraphs of keyword content will likely be used on a web site or affiliate blog, something like that anyway. The ones I found really interesting is the one that wants you to look for back links and email addresses. Looks to me like someone is fishing for a place to put backlinks on a particular keyword set. It will be interesting to see how many get paid for their efforts.

I would say that most likely they are trying to get people to come over and view their content on a site so that they can get paid more. But perhaps they are just trying to check to make sure everything is working just fine on their site. But I bet it is more of a traffic generation tact than anything else. But I could be completely wrong.

I don't know b/c I am going to bed and I will check it out tomorror..... I guess it's just more content being added to the mylot webpage. Which equals more viewers, I guess???
