Google Human Review Cought Red Handed
I love to check the postings on CraigsList since it is one of the best ways to keep a pulse on actual demand in certain industries. I typed in search to see what kind of things come up. Hell, if it wasn’t for CraigsList I probably would have never learned about SEO or found my current firm. Anyway I found this hilarious post from an anonymous source ( I suspect Google) in which you get paid to review search results.
Search engine results rating:
We need individuals who can work from home to perform search engine results ratings. The work is straight-forward; you log into a Website and then look at predetermined web pages or other similar material and rank them based on how relevant they appear for a given search query. The workload could be anywhere from a few hours a month to a few hours a week. You will need to have a PayPal account as that is how you will be paid.
When you perform this testing you must have the ability to sit down at a computer uninterrupted for 1 hour periods. Also, we will check the data. If the data is inconsistent or done with little regard for quality, you will lose your opportunity to do this in the future.
If you’re interested, here are a few more details:
-You must be willing to be interviewed for approximately 15 minutes on the phone.
-You must be totally and completely fluent in English.
-Please have a college degree, or an AA degree at a minimum.
-Please send your resume along with a brief paragraph about yourself, and also tell us how long you have been using the Internet, how many hours a day/week you use the Internet, and what you typically do on the Internet.
The pay is approximately $25 per hour.It may take us up to a week to get back to you so please be patient.
Thanks!
At least they pay well ;)

Really think it’s google? Would they use paypal ? :D
hahaha… maybe they realized paypal is better then google checkout
I believe Jason Calacanis posted that in hopes that Mahalo could become the true Google Killer…
…yeah. Once he weeds out each and every Affiliate online, he will then move forward to destroy “The Google”.
Yesssssssssssssssss.
It is google!
Barman, good point about PayPal but I can see Google not using for it a reason. I’m sure if the Craigslist ads stated that you get paid with Google Checkout, people would instantly think the job is for reviewing Google results. I can see Google thinking that using PayPal might make people think exactly what you thought.
As far as knowing for sure about the validity of these “Spam Guides,” I don’t think we’ll ever know unless one of gets a job as a rater…

[…] Rumors about Google hiring human search editors using Craigslist for example have been on the web for a while. Someone even posted a Google confidential document (pdf) revealing what “quality search results” should focus on. Are we so naïve to believe that they are not funded? […]
