Best place to hire blog,forum,yahoo answers commenters?

[mitchhoward]

I need to outsource commenting tasks for a cpa campaign I'm working on on the side. Basically I need to hire workers to comment on forum posts, blogs, yahoo answers and link back to a page. I briefly checked odesk but it seems expensive. I might give microworkers a shot. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

maybe fiverr? I'm not sure though.

Digitalpoint has plenty of Indians to do this kind of work.

I thought of that. But under the services section it has a thread "no spamming/commenting" and I couldn't find any threads about commenting. I'm mostly looking for YA commenters. I will search the forum a little bit more.

Bluffspot made a post not to long ago about what/who he uses to do the same thing... $10 mth.

Look it up or ask him...

That would be perfect, I searched around his latest posts and didn't find it. I will pm him.

Thank you!

Hi Mitch - sorry for the late reply - I use vWorker.com - a few tips:

1. Its best to post a project in the morning time zone of the country you want workers from. Example: If I want to hire workers in India I'll post 10pm at nite here in EST.

2. Have your job order ready prior to posting. Meaning - write down everything you want the worker to do, leave nothing out.

3. Set a max price or you'll get hammered with crazy figures.

I like using them becuase if the worker fails to do the job or only does a portion of it and tries to close it out - you can send them to arbitration and either get your money back or find someone else to do it. Either way some of your work is done for free. I have only had 1 person out of the 400 I use to screw up an easy job of posting. I set the max at $10 and give them a spreadsheet to follow.

For blog posts you really need to be careful - most outsourced workers have limited English so you may get what you pay for. Again, create a spreadsheet for them to work off of, its also a good way to keep track of their work for testing.

Sidenote: I am selling vworker.org for those interested in an affiliate site for vWorker.com

Thank you very much for the response. I will definitely use them. I hired someone from DP to do this. Paid them for the service, gave them a full guide outlining what exactly I wanted them to do. It's been a week now since they have contacted me. None of the work is done. I will file PayPal dispute though I'm not sure what good that will do.

That being said...I will definitely go with your method. And to those of you looking to outsource to the chinks over at DP, forget it...not worth your time. Go with something like microworkers and what bluff said. That way when they try to run with your money they hang themselves.
