Now, what does this say? hmmmm....

Does it say what most of us know already? That Google cannot control their SERPS algorythmically and thus need humans to spot check high visibility results?

Or... {drum roll...} Eric and I have misread it and they will explain what it means promptly so nobody gets confused..

We shall see..

Excellent opportunity for abuse?

I think it might just be another one of those psychological tools that creates the impression that G are on the warpath and are employing an army of manual serp checkers dedicated to weeding out spam.

Interesting quote of Googleguy's made June 2003 from wmw

Quote:

"Automated algorithms are definitely the goal. It's just more robust, more scalable, and faster to reinclude sites, because they don't need a manual review anymore. It takes longer to do things with algorithms, but I think most people agree that long-term it's definitely the right way to go.

That anti-spam job post will spread like wildfire and create a few thousand lines of press copy too. Wonderfully, inexpensively effective advertising from the googleplex.

Maybe I just have a soft side for the intracacies of language, but I'm wondering if "Quality Rater" and "Spam Reporter" are really the same thing? Please don't be an SEO Narc
