Swagging in 2013 - Part 1

Although I agree about those really high targets on a weekend, in all fairness we did get quads very early this morning.

Without wishing to sound argumentative I beg to differ AC............we didn't.I searched multiple times today & got nothing. At various times & in varying number of search bursts......not a thing. So when people say TRIPS....QUADS.........whatever,it doesn't apply across the board by any means. Just like that MEGA SEARCH FRIDAY......nonsense to many of us. I have never had more than 8/10 in a Friday search and never EVER had trips ,much less quads,despite job hunting on line & using their tool for it.
I know (hope)things will pick up for me but at present swagging sucks big time in my book & were it not for needing the extra bonus points at the end of the month I'd not even try for those ridiculous targets. Appealing to them to sort out my lack of trusteds & scarcity of dailies gets a stock reply basically saying "suck it up & get back swagging to earn us our wages...........and have a nice day". There is no help whatsoever in sorting these issues.

Being able to get quads and actually getting SB's for four searches seem to be quite different in my case =/ I do a lot of searching in a day, and so far I've only got 9SB's from one search to show for it! Slowly making my way to target with SBTV- I refuse to miss it today, this is the last day I need to get 7 in a row! -grits teeth- I shall power through!

Precisely Syl. All I have is games & SBTV . Not everyone is getting the trips & quads & for myself I've previously been loath to comment in case people thought I begrudged them theirs. I most assuredly don't . Grab them & good luck to you,but don't assume everyone is getting them because you are.

Likewise, I use the search toolbar as my main search engine, so use it A LOT and have never, ever had quads, think I might have had trips once, but am usually lucky to get dubs.

I have struggled to target this weekend with SBTV as well, although I did have a good day for surveys on Friday.....I dunno how they work it all out

The games don't seem to want to credit for me, but I do think that's a specific issue with my computer, because they've worked for me on other computers. I usually have better luck with the surveys, but today I have scraped up to 70/70 from SBTV, one 9SB search and the 5SB code earlier. Not really in the mood to try for any more tonight, I think it's been a disheartening day for a few of us!

I don't know if it was a fluke but it wasn't just me, I found out about it on the fb page and I got all 4 before 9.30 when I left for work. I have tried again since I came back but not joy.

Oh no, I wasn't suggesting it was a fluke, I just find it interesting how it must work- four before 9.30 is impressive!

Friday was a good day for me too, I got a bunch of tasks, but today has been droughty for me. Hoping for better luck tomorrow, for all of us! =]

Just checked my ledger and I did 18 rounds of sbtv today for 54 bucks

I'm inclined to agree with Milo as he stated above. I have never had more than two searches pay in a single day, and haven't had any search above 9SB this year. And that's considering I spend about 18 hours a day in front of my computers and search frequently every day.

Granted, I have had good days because of the amount of time I'm online, and I have SB and this thread open in tabs 24/7 on 2 computers, but there are still days, like today, where there has been nothing, and it's SBTV that gets me to target. Sad to say I hit 100+SB a say from SBTV

I tend to do a few searches if nothing comes of it I leave it and come back a few hours later. It tends to payout fairly quickly in my experience or not at all. I tend to get about 3 hits a day of between 7 and 10 sb. On Friday I hit a 49sb which was my best yet.

I have SBTV going in one tab while doing tasks, surveys or review sites in others. With bits picked up from Zoombucks, Gifthulk etc, it all adds up and avoids putting all my eggs in one basket. I did mostly SBTV on SB today, but that was clicking it on while having a really good day on the review site interspersed with grinding out tasks on another.

91/70 after doing some tasks, I think I am finally getting the hang of them.
