GOOGLE - Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines
I read blogs, comments and training every day relating to Google guidelines, many of which don't specifically mention Google but are presented as tips, tricks, proper protocol and etiquette. I guess I just presumed this information came from those with extensive experience, or someone studying statistics from Google Analytics for years and years. I have never heard anyone mention that Google actually hires "raters" to browse, read and rate websites from "all over the world," to assist Google with their ranking evaluations.
The "raters" are required to be familiar with search engines and "an expert inGoogle search," but in the same paragraph they are told to "experiment with using operators (e.g., quotes or a dash) in your searches or try using Google’s advanced search option." They are provided links to Wikipedia to understand anti-virus and spyware, along with a list of file types that are generally safe.
The whole second chapter is a mini-course, includes definitions of common terminology and a detailed section on how to search for reputation information.
I can probably determine a lot about the "raters" by the instructions they are given for the task. I can only speculate as to how thorough a "rater" will be as they review every element of a website.
I just happened to come across this document today. A 157-page PDF dated May 11, 2017, entitled Google's Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines and represented to be Googles most current set of standards. Very informative and a must-read for everyone once you get to a certain point in training. Basically, if you don't understand it then you are not ready for the information.
I know there are probably many who have this and probably use it as a template, but there are also many that probably know nothing about it. I know my website doesn't meet all of these standards.
Here is the link. Read and Heed.

Thanks Carole for sharing this post and the guidelines with us. 157 pages of valuable read!
Congratulations! I'd be interested in knowing how many people change the anything after reading it.
Hi Carole,Been a bit slow getting into it only read ten pages to be honest,But i will offer you an opinion if i see any gems.Its all good information as it increases my knowledge and gives me an insight into part of an industry i know little about.
All the best,Matt.
I hope this can help me in my website I just registered this week. I found that it is a duplicate for there is an exactly the same website created four years ago.
Carole this great! I kinda know what needs to be known, but I could always use the 'gritty details'.
You are welcome! I guess tag that link because it doesn't specify a date. Even though the document is pdf it could replaced with its update.
