The documents are used by Google Quality Raters to aid them in classifying queries, measuring relevancy and rating the search results.

He didn’t discover it. It was on seoblackhat with the specific request to keep it private.
yah I was wondering about that....not impossible for him to have rooted this out on his own though..
Yeah...that would just be really odd timing. Apologies if this is the case..but yeah haha
I haven’t been able to access the seoblackhat version but instead located another copy, archived it and credited the source in my blog. I’ve still haven’t seen the seoblackhat version so I can’t confirm if it’s the same or not.If seoblackhat would like to verify, I signed up with the user name "whitehat" : )
Does anybody have a new link to the html or pdf? Nothing seems to be working for me.
That didn’t last long - you can snag a copy from the cache if you act quickly.

Actually the PDF still works, it just took a long time to display. HTML’s gone though.
I couldn’t get to the PDF at that link, but found it here:http://www.mauriziopetrone.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/quality-rater-guidelines-2007.pdf via SEObook: http://www.seobook.com/full-text-googles-general-guidelines-remote-quality-raters-april-2007I was doing research to blog about the thin affiliate section and the sneaky redirects part that highlighs CJ links as sneaky redirect spam.
@beusseryI can confirm it’s the same.
Why not just apply for the job? If you get past the test then you will have access to QR Handbook. I worked for them for 2 years. It was hard on my eyes; kept getting headaches. So I left. But really, if you’re that curious just apply.
