"Matt McGee published An Interview With A Google Search Quality Rater this past Friday, it is the most detailed write up on a quality rater I have seen to date.It goes through the various tasks, how they got the job, what interaction at all they have with Google and so on.  Matt also posted the short version at Marketing Land:\r\n\r\nRaters are only hired after passing two tests, the second of which includes rating more than 140 different Google search results and demands a 90 percent score in order to pass.\r\nEach rating task is completed by multiple raters and, if they disagree in their ratings of Google\u2019s search results, there\u2019s a formal discussion and debate process that may involve higher-level moderators making the final decision on who\u2019s correct.\r\nRaters don\u2019t only look at Google\u2019s organic results, they may rate Google\u2019s paid search results as well as search results from News, Maps and other Google \u201Cuniversal search\u201D products.\r\nRaters may also have tasks that involve grading the design and layout of specific web pages.\r\nOne of the key considerations in those tasks involves the balance between content and ads on a page. (That\u2019s reminiscent of Google\u2019s new page layout algorithm that was just announced on Thursday.)\r\nTasks are not tailored to the Rater\u2019s skills or interests.There is discussion on this interview on Matt McGee's Google+ page where some SEOs are diving into what they learned.Forum discussion at Google+.Image credit: Maxx-Studio / ShutterStock."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
