Description

I have easy but time consuming project to offer. I need quality data on websites from one niche. I will tell to winner of the bid what niche we are talking about. The data has to be collected per country.
The job is to surf the web and collect the following data in a csv file (utf-8 format)

url;Company Name;Zip;City;State;Country;Continent;street or box;phone no.;url to website with contact info;keyword;url for keyword
exemple:
http://www.nilsoscar.se;Nils Oscar Company AB;611 31;Nyköping;Västra Götaland;Sweden;Europe;Fruängsgatan 2;+46(0)15577280;http://www.nilsoscar.se/se/startsida/;company;http://www.nilsoscar.se/se/startsida/

Each country has to be saved in different file.

Websites can be found by searching the web on keywords and then visiting the website to gather the information.
Main URL (website adress) has to be without slash at the end and appear just once, can't be used twice for different countries.

States for the different countries can be found on Wikipedia and the names have to be identical for the same stats. Not “NY” and “New York” for other record. Only full names like “New York” in example case.

There have to be a whole address not only a city or country. One missing variable like zip, street or phone number is ok say in 1/20 records. But country, state, city have to always be stated.

If the street address is on different lines the data has to have comma "," between the lines like this: ;Time street 25, Suiet A;

The phone country code has to be in the following format: +32(0) like in +46(0)15577280. No spaces between numbers. No letters in phone number.

The second URL (web address) is the URL to the website where the address can be found. Information that you gather has to be only on one site. I have a script that will check that the information gathered is correct.
The site has therefore to be readable and have the same domain name as the main (first) URL. The website can't be for instance made in flash because you can’t read the code and copy from the website.
Keyword is a qualifier and defines the niche I want to gather information about. It can be different for different languages. You can use Google translate to find out the translation name. What the keywords are I will tell to the winning bidder.
The last URL has to be from the same domain as the main url and is pointing to the website where the keyword was found.

You may not find listings in all countries but probably most of them. You can gather and check about 150 records in one day (I have done 3000 myself). You have to deliver at least 1000 listings every second week to keep up the momentum and speed if you want to continue.

In average I would like to get 120 listings for each country. But for the large countries there will be more records and the small less (the extreme cases from 30 to 1000 I guess).

It's important to save in correct format utf-8 not to mess up encoding of the letters. I can give you more details on free software to help you and other details.

The payment will be escrow for each 1000 records which is equal to about 7-8 days work, after quality check.
The amount of wrong records can't be more than 30 defects per set (1000 record). One defect is one wrong variable. Example wrong state, wrong phone format, etc
If there is more defects then 30 I will return the record, but you will have to find the defects for you self. Quality is important and if not followed it can break the agreement.

There is a lot of work even if it's little bit boring. I guess in to the next year.
You have to ask if there is anything else.

I'm interested in information from following countries

Hi, The project looks a bit challenging, but a bit repeatative. It requires concentration and some lateral thinking at the least to complete it. I am interested in this and would like to take it up. I can work for about 5-8 hrs a day on this so that the pace is brisk and get the results as expected. I suggest a rate of 10 cents per line of data collected error free. Thank you

Hello, I would like to be considered for your project. I am used to working with Internet and searching for company details as I used to work as a telesales for 17 years and it was part of my job to gather as much information as I could to prepare my prospection lists. I can work from 2-7pm Dublin time Monday-Friday + some 4 to 5 flexible hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Maybe even in the morning in the near future. I am very attached to provide quality work and accurate data. I can save datas in a csv file with Excel but you will have to tell me more about saving in utf-8 format, as you suggested. I will strictly conform to the instructions you give. I saved your instructions in a Word document and will keep them for future use if you confirm we can work together. And thank you cause there are perfectly clear. I am registered with Escrow and also have a Paypal account. I am bilingual French/English which I guess can help to work on the majority of countries you're looking for. I can understand German and a bit of Spanish although I cannot speak these languages. I can use a translator anyway as I am doing some translation work for some customers from time to time. Some good friends can also help with Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, Arabic. My husband is from Africa which can also help in case I would have questions for this continent. Comparing with such kind of work I already did for other customers, I can gather approx. 290 datas per hour. You require 11 colums in the table. It means I could gather approx. 25 rows of datas per hour. i.e. 131 rows per day and 660 per a 5-days week or 920 per a 7-days week. As you would like to get 120 listings for each country and up to 1000 for larger ones, and there are 215 countries, it means the total files would gather approx. 40,000 rows of datas (listing). It would mean 200 days of work. Therefore I would like to bid for a $300 per 1000 listings. Total project amount would thus be 12,000$. Please let me know if you're fine with this. Best regards.
