With the recent update rolled out from 17-July-2023, we can no longer do SEO tasks. While we work on the job and try to submit it the message stating "this job is no longer available" is so frustrating experience.
So looks like Sproutgigs is enabling employer to make money (because we would have anyway done the task and employer earns the money through AD CPC) and we the employees earn nothing despite doing the job.
If the new feature was introduced to benefit the employer so that they earn their CPC and not loose their site, their interface should also be changed so that we do not unnecessarily work on task and waste our effort.
I had posted this query
"Since today morning many of the SEO Jobs are not working. While it says it has 700/5000 or 100/3000 as status, when we start working on it, it say job is no longer available.
Please fix this issue ASAP, as I am unable to complete any of the SEO work today."
and the response from Sproutgigs was,
"Hello,
Our apologies for the inconvenience.
Some Employers may adjust distribution % by country settings of their campaigns to guarantee diversity of submissions and avoid receiving too many from a specific country.
If you receive this message while trying to submit proof, even while there are positions available, it means the maximum number of submissions from your country has already been reached, please consider working on other active campaigns.
Regards,
Daisy"
So they have changed their application to suit the employers, but overlooking the waste of effort from we employees.
Henceforth unless they revert this feature, this site should be treated as SCAM, and people stop working on this.
