Amazon's mTurk lets you have the HIT (task) as basically "Click on this link to an external website, complete the survey, and then paste the code it gives you here."
Is there any way instead to generate a list of unique URLs, and have each worker shown a different URL?
I'd settle for being about to insert the worker ID into the URL.
This can be accomplished by creating your own ExternalHit as an iframe linked to your website and on your website extract the WorkerId from the querystring that Amazon appends to the your website's URL.
I do not believe this can be done via the Amazon Web front end.
Alternately, TurkPrime.com (an Amazon Partner) has a free and convenient UI for creating external HITs and you can contact them for your particular use case.

Why i am able to google messages in (for example) gitter.im? How did google indexed all this: https://gitter.im/neoclide/coc.nvim?at=5ea00cdda3612210839689f1 ?
Does gitter.im return its content to google in another format or via some specific interface/protocol declared in special section for web crawlers somewhere? Did google spent some resources on development to build a gitter.im-specific crawler that is able to do specific XHR-requests?
Simple:
Google ask https://gitter.im/gitter/developers
There is N recent messages embedded in HTML already, say 50. Then google just extract all the links from the HTML (from that time-tag "18:15", for example). Each time-tag gives you url of form https://gitter.im/gitter/developers?at=610011abc9f8852a970e808e and google doesnt care why. Just remember urls.
Google asks that grabbed 50 urls of form https://gitter.im/gitter/developers?at=610011abc9f8852a970e808e
Each such URL gives you ~50 messages around that exact message. So search engine think: "ok, this URL gives you THIS text".
So when you search THIS test it just gives you the url closer-to that text or maybe just any url with that text...
One of my client having website which is entirely based on API Content i.e. content coming from 3rd party website. He wants to do some seo on the data. I wonder if it is possible as there is data not available in his database and i think google crawler redirect to 3rd party website while crawling on such pages. We already asked for permission from that website owner to let us store API data on our end in order to do some SEO but he refused our request.
It will be highly appericited if you can suggest any other way that should not be against policies and guidelines.
Thank You

Yes - with a huge BUT:
Google explains how parameters can be set within their Search Console (Google Webmaster) and how these can effect the crawler's behaviour.
#Nadeem Haddadeen is right with the canonical links between duplicates. There's also an issue if you don't have consistent content when calling up the same parameters. This essentially makes your page un-indexable as it's dynamic content. If you are dealing with dynamic content then you need to optimise a host page based around popular queries rather than trying to have your content rate itself.
It's not recommended to take the same content and post it on your website, its duplicate and Google will give you penalty.
If you still want to post it on your website, you have to make some changes on the original text and then post it on your website to look like its original.
Also if you want to keep it without any changes and to avoid any penalties from Google, you you have to add a link for the original article from your website or add a cross domain canonical link like the below example:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/original-article-url" />
i have business listing site (www.brate.com) where people can search for local businesses and rate them.
the entire site is build using GWT (i.e. Ajax) and the all content is generated dynamically. Now i am in a phase where i want the site to be SEO friendly, below is my approach and please advise me if its the best way to implement it.
1- create static HTML snapshot of each business and its related data (site, address, phone number, user reviews...etc) and put all the generated HTML files under a single directory
2- create a sitemap xml file that contains all the above HTML links
3- configure webmaster to crawl and index all generated HTML snapshots
now my logic is that when google search query list one of the above generated html files in its search results i want to redirect the user to the site main page (www.brate.com) not the html snapshot.
can i use a redirect like "" in the generated snapshots?
if not what is the best way to achieve the above mentioned logic?
Thanks
Sameeh, one suggested approach for GWT
Ensure that you have correctly handled history tokens for all your pages in GWT. Let the tokens start with exclamation (!).
Associate GWT history tokens with generated pages using #! notation
Let tokens be keyword rich as we do for any URL optimization in SEO
Read through https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/ for understanding #! notation.

I need to track visitors.
I have a script (http://example.com/something.aspx) that saves all the visitor data (like browser, referrer, etc.) into a DB and insert a flash-cookie in the visitor machine for further tracking.
Right now I insert that script using an iframe in each page I want it to work.
The script need to be in the same domain of the page for it to work.
I use this script in a number of domains, so for each domain I have the same script installed in each domain.
I want to provide some kind of javascript API to be able to use only one script for all the domains. "One Script to Rule them All".
Its important to know that I own all the domains.
It is possible? How to achieve cross-domain?
Thanks.
I would try the following approach, but have not tested the whole thing.
insert into the page.
The record-and-set-cookie.aspx page will record agent info into a database (this part I am sure will work), and then return javascript that will set a cookie (this part can work, but needs confirmation).
I have recently placed an ad in a weekly publication that sends out a PDF file. My ad is directly linked so that the reader can click on it and go to my website. The PDF file is hosted on a different server, but is, in fact, a PDF file that has to be downloaded and viewed on that site, not emailed or shared that way. I have Google Analytics and a couple other stats tracking programs installed and I can't see the referring URL from this other site at all, in anything. Is there something I can ask the designer of the PDF file to include in her links to make them trackable? Or is this simply not possible?
Use Google Analytics Campaign Tagging.
This tool will help set it up. You'll want to classify the variables such that the source and the medium are set, at minimum.
http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55578
So, for example, if your URL is http://example.com, you could set the parameters as such:
utm_source: BlahNews
utm_medium: newsletter
utm_campaign: july10issue
Your resulting URL would be http://example.com/?utm_source=BlahNews&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=july10issue
Google Analytics would track these hits under that Campaign, Source and medium.
If the URL is displayed raw, and want to avoid 'displaying' an ugly URL, you could setup an internal redirect to that URL, and it looks like you're using WordPress, there are a few free plugins that manage redirects like this (I happen to like 'Redirection')
So, you could tell the plugin to redirect
http://example.com/blahnews TO http://example.com/?utm_source=BlahNews&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=july10issue
Can you ask them to put some token in the query string of the URL to the site?
