You can't really run those logged out. You need them logged in. Try playing with your settings. Maybe scrape every 5 seconds instead of every 3

Before my bump up in speed, I was scraping every 1 second. I wasn't keeping records so I don't know how many PREs that was generating. But now with my higher speed, I tested running HS at 2 second intervals, clicking forty HIT titles consecutively to see each time if I had a PRE. Got zero. But when I run TM at the same time (searching for 6 HITs) I got a significant number of the darn things (anywhere from 12% to 25% of my HIT title clicks). ... and if there's anything in this paragraph that I didn't make clear, let me know.

Would you say the same if you did 200 of them at a time? :eek!:

200 new pinterests vs. 200 Zoltar? I'll take the pinterest ones.

I Scrape every 4 seconds and that seems to be fast enough for me. But your mileage may vary.

... since it's a tradeoff between which tool will let me generate the maximum number of HITs a day (I concentrate on surveys), I should play around with longer scrapes as you've suggested. Thanks @Squatty

I go to sleep for a quick nap and then find out that I missed the pins.

Were they the 30 cent ones or something else?

Well, I'm trying to make up for a really slow internet speed, in my case now that I've been 'bumped up' is 5 Mbps

Running TM along with edit: HM Hit Finder or PC drastically increases my pre's unless I keep TM pandas set to over 60 seconds. I don't use TM anymore since switching to PC.

When I first turn on Panda Crazy I get a lot of pre's but then it adjusts itself and they are pretty minimal. I turned my computer on about 5 hours ago and PC has been running since then and I've only had a total of 64 pres in that time, the vast majority the first bit of time when I turned everything on.

On the bed, with my laptop.

 

[lsutiger25]

I did a few of the Takashi Miyazaki image HITS - should I keep going or does he usually accept them all (if you follow directions)

[T. Leela]
