How to get paid by doing google search

Who are these Google Raters?

Google Raters aka Search Engine Evaluators evaluates search results – mostly web-pages, videos, images, maps, etc and see how helpful/useful they are to the queries issued by the user and rate them as per a set of given parameters outlined in the General Guidelines.

General Guidelines is the Bible for raters, it is the gospel with which they got to live. It is a 176-page pdf file that each rater will have to peruse, use it to pass the qualification test, and then reference it daily to evaluate the tasks after hitting production.

Illustration of what they do: Supposing you type “weather in Tokyo” in your smartphone. The result would be like this:

Now in terms of search engine evaluation –

1. “You” the person issuing the query would be known as – USER
2. The search term “weather in Tokyo” would be called – QUERY
3. The result enclosed in the blue rectangle would be called a – RESULT BLOCK
4. Based on the General Guidelines, we would be rating that results on its usefulness to the user query.
