Web Searching/Data Entry Position
Due Date: 5 days after project is awarded
Short Description
You will search online using [login to view URL], locate websites that match our criteria in a specific niche, and extract website, product, and contact information from each. The niche is relatively small and your search work must be very deep and thorough.
Full Job Description
This job involves searching in [login to view URL] on the phrases in the attached text file, extracting information from each site, and pasting it into a spreadsheet file. Information extracted will include contact information, product information, website address, and so forth.
For each website's entry you will cut and paste the organization name in one cell, their street address in a second cell, their city in a third cell, and so forth. This format will need to be in a consistent order for all entries in the spreadsheet.
For each search, you should begin by gathering information from the AdWords ads, and then move on to the main search results. We are looking only for websites that have an individual or company selling their products (generally information based products such as ebooks, publications, audio or video recordings, etc.). Please do not include websites of catalog or other sites where products from many people are being sold, unless this is in addition to the unique products offered by the owner of the site. If you run across a page that doesn't appear to offer anything for sale, but is clearly relevant and has a mailing list - enter the site in the spreadsheet.
Most of the websites should have a mailing list. You will also sign us up while you are on the webpage. We will provide the email address to use.
Procedure
You will complete some sample URLs and submit your spreadsheet file for review via email. We will correct any deficiencies after which you will finish the job. Payment will be made after submission and approval of your final work product. Spot checks will be performed to ensure completeness.
