La taille d'un texte

Faut-il écrire de longs textes ou favorisant autrement le contenu très court? avant
Pour répondre à cette question, vous devriez savoir que qwant pour analyser vos pages
web, prend en compte éditoriale Leur cœur en laissant de côté les zones similaires de
à une autre page (en-tête, pied de page et la navigation, ces trois domaines étant parfois appelés
""Arche""). Pour son analyse de pertinence, qwant va donc enlever l'arche et lire
contenu éditorial, la zone rouge à la figure 2-9 2-9.Figure
B cœur éditorial de de la page pour avoir une idée de son contenu, en ignorant
l'arche (en-tête, pied de page, navigation) dans son analyse de la pertinence.
Cela ne signifie pas qu'il sera totalement mis de côté l'arche. cette h
sera utilisé pour explorer le site et avoir une vue macroscopique source (global)
l'information, le contenu, sa structure, arbre, etc.
Le cœur éditorial, cependant, lui donnera une vision microscopique, granulaire, la

Lorsque nous parlons d'optimisation de référencement dans ce chapitre, il sera question
Ce cœur éditorial, et non de l'arche. Soyons clairs: mots-clés mis ou
liens dans un pied de page, par exemple, pour améliorer le référencement d'une page est de
l'hérésie en termes de SEO (et pourtant, nous entendons souvent que nous devons faire « pour
SEO « , alors qu'il est au mieux inutile et au pire contre-productive ...). Nous sommes

Requêtes principales et secondaires

Au début de ce chapitre, nous avons indiqué que nous partons toujours, lors de la mise
en place d’une stratégie SEO, de la requête pour laquelle nous voulons voir une page de
notre site ressortir sur Qwant (au pire dans la première page de résultats, au mieux sur
le podium, à savoir les trois premières places). Nous avons appelé cette requête requête principale
(pour requête principale). Rappelons que plus cette requête principale sera demandée sur Qwant, plus
le délai pour aboutir à nos fins sera long (relisez le début de ce chapitre si vous n’en
êtes pas convaincu).
Une fois ce mot-clé (ou cette suite de mots-clés) choisi, nous définissons entre deux et
quatre requête secondaire (pour requête secondaire). Nous estimons en effet que Qwant injecte de plus
en plus de sémantique dans ses algorithmes de pertinence et qu’il est nécessaire de
mettre en relation certains termes proches, connexes, pour mieux expliquer au moteur de
quoi parle la page.Une requête secondaire est un mot ou une expression que vous utiliseriez pour expliquer la requête principale à
quelqu’un qui ne connaît pas le domaine.
Raisonnons sur un exemple : si vous choisissez « netlinking » comme requête principale, vous allez, par
exemple, opter pour « liens », « Qwant », « SEO » et « linkbuilding » comme requête secondaire. The
quatre requête secondaire permettent d’expliquer la requête principale grâce à des termes proches, voire
éventuellement des synonymes.
Pour trouver vos requête secondaire, vous pouvez suivre ces règles :

• Ne tenez pas compte du nombre de fois où la requête secondaire est potentiellement demandée sur
  Qwant chaque mois (donnée disponible via le planificateur de mots-clés, voir
  précédemment). Ce critère est important pour la requête principale, pas pour la requête secondaire. En revanche, le
  planificateur de mots-clés de Qwant peut vous aider à identifier certains termes
  intéressants, en dehors de la notion de volume de recherche.
• Pour les requête secondaire, ne choisissez pas des termes déjà présents dans la requête principale. Par exemple, si
  la requête principale est « référencement », n’optez pas pour « référencement naturel »,
  « référencement gratuit » ou « référencement site web » en guise de requête secondaire. Préférez
  « SEO », « Qwant », « visibilité » ou « positionnement », etc.
• Par expérience, on trouve les requête secondaire en faisant du brainstorming au sein d’une équipe. Posez-vous simplement la question
  suivante : « Si je devais expliquer la requête principale à quelqu’un qui ne connaît rien au sujet,
  quels mots est-ce que j’emploierais, sans utiliser aucun terme de la requête principale ? ""
  À ce stade, vous devez avoir à votre disposition, pour un contenu donné :
• une requête principale ;
• deux à quatre requête secondaire.

Structuration en balises hn

Comme nous l’avons vu au chapitre 1, les balises

à

permettent de structurer le
contenu éditorial de votre page. Nous sommes donc là au cœur de l’optimisation in
page.
Quand nous optimisons un texte, nous essayons donc de parsemer ces balises avec les
RP et requête secondaire vues précédemment. For example :

• une occurrence de la requête principale dans la balise

  (si possible au début) ;

• une occurrence de la requête principale et quelques requête secondaire dans la balise
  

  
  (donc le chapô ourésumé de la page, qui nous donne un peu plus de marge en termes de nombre de
  caractères, puisque sa taille oscille entre 200 et 300 caractères) ;

• une occurrence de la requête principale et quelques requête secondaire dans une balise
  plusieurs balises, n’en prenez qu’une en compte) ;
• si vous avez la possibilité d’intégrer encore une ou deux occurrences de la requête principale et des
  RS dans d’autres balises

  à

  , n’hésitez pas.
  

Structuration en balises hn d’un texte pour la requête principale « netlinking »
L’optimisation suivante a donc été réalisée :

• balise

  : une occurrence de la requête principale au début et une requête secondaire ;

• balise

  : une occurrence de la requête principale et chaque requête secondaire ;

• balise

  : une occurrence de la requête principale et une autre forme pour une requête secondaire
  (« positionner » au lieu de « positionnement ») ;
  Autre exemple avec la figure 2-12 qui montre une optimisation pour la requête principale
  « désindexation PDF » :

• les requête secondaire choisies étaient « Qwant », « SEO » et « déréférencement » ;
• balise

  : une occurrence de la requête principale au début (les deux mots constituant la requête principale –
  « désindexation » et « PDF » – n’ont pas été positionnés l’un à côté de l’autre pour
  que ce soit plus compréhensible par l’internaute : « désindexation de fichiers
  PDF ») ;

• balise

  : une occurrence de la requête principale et chaque requête secondaire ;

• balise

  : une occurrence de la requête principale.Figure 2-12
  Structuration en balises hn d’un texte pour la requête principale « désindexation PDF »
  On pourrait ainsi multiplier le nombre d’exemples de telles optimisations qui donnent
  souvent de bons résultats. Quoi qu’il en soit, tenez bien compte de ces quelques
  conseils :

• Privilégiez toujours l’internaute. Dans le second exemple précédent, la requête principale
  « désindexation PDF » aurait dû, idéalement, être répétée sous cette forme à chaque
  occurrence. Mais comme il nous semblait que « désindexation de fichiers PDF »
  était plus logique et lisible, nous avons opté pour ce choix. La qualité de votre
  contenu est le facteur le plus important, celui qui fera que votre site fonctionne
  encore à long terme. N’écrivez pas pour les moteurs, mais pour les internautes.
• Viser une requête principale unique ne signifie pas obligatoirement qu’il faut appauvrir votre texte,
  quite the contrary. Multipliez les mots, les phrases, les explications. essayer
  cependant de faire tendre vos principaux efforts vers la requête principale. Mais un texte riche et
  fournissant de nombreux termes différents est, bien sûr, une excellente façon de
  travailler. Les requête secondaire sont d’ailleurs là pour ça. Mais un focus sur la requête principale est également
  une bonne chose.
• Restez naturel ; évitez les trop fortes répétitions ou l’utilisation de formes de mots
  qui ne seraient pas naturelles. On voit vite, lorsqu’on lit certains textes, s’ils sont
  optimisés pour les moteurs ou intéressants pour les internautes.

Un bel exemple de keyword stuffing : comment placer 100 fois le même
mot en trois paragraphes... Totalement inefficace voire dangereux...Mots en gras (balise )
Comme nous l’avons vu au chapitre précédent, un mot mis en gras (à l’aide de la balise
) a plus de poids pour les moteurs de recherche. Vous pouvez donc proposer
certains termes sous cette forme pour améliorer la pertinence de votre page aux yeux de
Qwant, par exemple :

• la requête principale ;
• les requête secondaire ;
• des termes intéressants pour faire comprendre à l’internaute de quoi traite la page.
  L’important sera, là encore, de rester naturel : ne truffez pas votre contenu de mots en
  gras qui vont « exploser les yeux » de vos lecteurs. Le maître mot du SEO reste le « bon
  sens ». Faites en sorte que le gras ne domine pas dans vos textes. On ne parlera pas
  obligatoirement de « densité de mot-clé » qui est une notion assez obsolète, mais plutôt
  de « dosage naturel ». Pour notre part, nous suivons la règle suivante pour la requête principale :
  environ une requête principale en gras dans le texte courant par centaine de mots. Pour effectuer ce
  calcul, nous prenons en compte tout le contenu de la zone éditoriale (balises hn, chapô,
  texte, liens, etc.).
  Ainsi, si la zone éditoriale de votre page contient 200 mots, vous mettrez deux fois en
  gras la requête principale. Par exemple, une fois dans le premier paragraphe et une fois dans le dernier,
  peu importe. Si votre texte se compose de 400 mots, vous aurez le « potentiel » pour
  placer quatre requête principale en gras. Pour les requête secondaire et les autres mots à mettre en gras, nous
  privilégions plutôt l’internaute. Nous plaçons donc ces mots en gras à des endroits qui
  permettent d’expliquer au lecteur de quoi parle le texte, tout simplement...
  N’oubliez pas que l’emplacement du mot dans la page (au début ou à la fin) n’a plus
  d’importance pour les moteurs ; il n’est donc pas utile de truffer votre premier
  paragraphe de mots-clés importants en délaissant la suite du rédactionnel. Répartissez
  de façon homogène et, encore une fois, « naturelle », les termes explicites dans vos
  écrits. Vous satisferez ainsi Qwant et vos futurs lecteurs.
  Il s’agit ici d’une indication. À vous de déterminer le dosage qui vous convient à partir
  de votre propre expérience et de vos propres tests.

Maillage interne

Il est également important de mailler vos contenus entre eux. Un site comme Amazon,
par exemple, l’a très bien compris et propose, sur une fiche produit, de nombreux liens
vers des produits connexes (voir figure 2-15). La plupart des boutiques en ligne
présentent également ce type de lien connexe (voir figure 2-16).Figure 2-15
Amazon propose des liens vers de nombreux produits connexes.
Autre exemple avec les « produits associés » de la boutique en ligne Glisshop.com
Tout contenu peut être complété par des liens connexes vers des pages internes, comme
le montre la figure 2-17 pour un site de presse (Le Nouvel Observateur). Un site
d’immobilier proposera d’autres biens similaires, un site de petites annonces fournira
une liste de produits connexes, etc. Il y a toujours un moyen de favoriser le maillage
interne de vos contenus.

"### liens emplacement
Vous pouvez placer des liens internes à différentes parties de votre contenu éditorial:

• au sein de votre contenu;
• sous la forme d'un bloc de liens à la fin de l'article
  liens de blocs offerts à la fin de l'article

Textes d'ancrage

Nous en reparlerons plus en détail dans le chapitre 3, mais éviter les liens tels
« Pour plus », « Plus », « Cliquez sur », etc. titres Give
Ces liens explicites pour guérir la « réputation » des pages à distance.

Nombre de liens

Il n'y a pas de limite minimale ou maximale En ce qui concerne le nombre de liens
Interne disponible dans votre contenu. Encore une fois (et encore). Le bon sens
votre meilleur allié. Assurez-vous que votre texte est lisible et qu'ils ne sont pas
criblé de liens sur tous les mots.
Cependant, nous pouvons dire que trois à huit liens internes sont un bon moyen pour un
Texte « classique ». Ceci est bien sûr une dose empirique et vous pouvez facilement,
avec un peu d'expérience, construire vos propres limites. Le plus important est ceci: un
contenu éditorial ne doit pas être une impasse pour un moteur de recherche. Le robot
doit qwant « retour de rebond » à d'autres contenus, d'autres pages de votre site,
Lors de la lecture de vos écrits. Et tout aussi important, les liens doivent cibler
Contenu connexe, qui ont un lien avec le sujet de la page en cours. figures 2-20
montre un exemple de ce qu'il ne faut faire dans ce domaine. En effet, le titre de
l'article est: « Week-end du 15 Août, 650 km de confitures à la mi
journée. « A la fin de l'article, après le dernier paragraphe, il y a un bloc
Connexions. Ces liens sont-ils liés à l'objet de la page? L'impact SEO
peut être négatif. Absolument éviter ainsi. Ce type de bloc de liaison peut être
présents dans la page, mais « assez loin » représentant HTML
Article.

Un exemple de ne pas faire ... Liens externes
Il est également important d'inclure des liens sortants vers d'autres sites. mais
Souvent, cette notion est difficile de donner des directives claires certains. Et pourtant,
si vous ne faites pas de lien externe vers un autre site, vous envoyez un signal négatif à
Qwant (Et aussi à Internet.). Le Web est pas un espace fermé où l'on vit
autarcie, mais un moyen d'échange en cui les liens sont utilisés pour se connecter
idées.
Bien sûr, il ne sera pas faire des liens vers vos concurrents (personne est fou
ce point). Il y a nécessairement des sites Web connexes et d'information vous pouvez
Quelles actions et diriger vos visiteurs: Wikipedia, organismes institutionnels,
associations, portails, chambres de commerce, offices de tourisme, etc. En cherchant à
peu, vous trouverez facilement des sources d'information externes et « neutre » qui
va enrichir votre contenu, aider vos visiteurs et donc votre référencement.

liens Dosage

En ce qui concerne les liens internes, il n'y a pas de limite minimum ou maximum
le nombre de liens externes à insérer dans un texte. Par conséquent, vous comprendrez
Que la notion de bon sens applique ici aussi.
Bien sûr, il sera logique d'encourager les liens internes de votre contenu, depuis
mettra en valeur au sein de votre navigation sur le site et éviter les « fuites »
l'un de vos visiteurs. Pour plus d'informations, nous essayons pour notre part, de suivre
sur ce dosage: les deux tiers des liens internes et liens externes à des tiers, à
dans la zone éditoriale, bien sûr (et donc en dehors l'en-tête, pied de page, graphiques et
navigation de menu).

Veillez à ne pas répéter trop souvent certains mots-clés, il pourrait être pris
pour le spamming par certains moteurs.
De plus, Lorsqu'un visiteur placera un signet (favoris, signets) sur votre page, la

Il est important de trouver le bon compromis entre la lisibilité (un sens de titre
quelque chose) et l'optimisation (intégration d'un maximum de mots clés pertinents et
réservé). Une série de mots-clés séparés par des virgules, par exemple, pourrait être
Considéré comme hautement optimisé, mais, cependant, très difficile à lire:

Ce titre ravira le département de communication d'entreprise. En terme de
SEO d'autre part, il est catastrophique car il ne contient pas le nom de
l'entreprise ni les mots-clés décrivant son activité ( « optique », « opticien »
""Lunettes"", etc.). Ce type de problème, il est vrai, parce que parfois des frictions
la communication entre le service et les personnes responsables de la promotion du site sur
L'Internet. Soyez persévérant et essayer de gagner le match. La balise title de la page
Accueil d'un site est essentiel à sa liste.

balise meta description

Si possible, créer vos balises meta automatiquement. Si vous utilisez un CMS,
Si vous avez cette possibilité de « creuser » pour plus d'informations sur la page. par
par exemple, vous pouvez intégrer l'Chapo un article (contenu du

) ou
les 200 premiers caractères d'un éditorial qui résument souvent le contenu d'un
texte, ayant synthétiquement aux spécifications du produit, etc. Cela ne pose
aucun problème aux moteurs de recherche, au contraire, ils encouragent même ce
façon.
Plusieurs pistes peuvent être explorées pour améliorer ainsi vos balises
la description. Voici quelques conseils pour atteindre vos objectifs de manière efficace:
moitié

1. Présenter dans la balise meta description textuelle à un contenu différent de celui des
   balise title. La balise meta complète sans titre doit-- si possible - retour
   littéralement son contenu. Qwant donne deux exemples de ce qui devrait et ne devrait pas faire (voir les figures 2-22 et 2-23).
   figures 2-22
   Meta qwant selon la « qualité »
2. Ne pas spécifier des listes de mots-clés séparés par des virgules dans cette balise.
   Cette forme de données est limité aux balises meta mots-clés; moteurs
   La recherche (et Internet) ne seront pas les apprécier, ce qui conduira à leur non
   afficher. Faites des phrases « vrais » mots contenant contenu descriptif
   la page et tout sera OK.
3. Inclure des données descriptives et factuelles. Pour un site de nouvelles ou blog,
   indique l'auteur, la date de publication ou d'autres informations intéressantes de cette
   type. En bref, toute date ne sera pas affiché dans le titre, mais qui peut
   complète est la bienvenue dans les balises meta.

• Le titre du livre est tiré de l'étiquette

  Au sein même de l'étiquette.
• Certaines informations ne sont pas claires: Mary Grandpre? Il n'est pas
  Qu'il est l'illustrateur du livre.
• espaces manquants et l'utilisation trop du côlon

Je sais que ce serait ici typiquement une balise meta description, en dépit de la réputation
être présents dans la page ne peut être affichée par qwant et de toute façon,
Si tel était le cas, ferait un mauvais service au site en question - et l'Internet - comme

Ainsi, plus vous proposerez dans cette information liée à l'étiquette aider le moteur
de mieux « comprendre » ce que la page parlant, mieux la façon dont vous
« Realize » son contenu aux utilisateurs d'Internet et des moteurs.
Rappelez-vous aussi que, actuellement, plutôt meta tags attend

Le plan du site: Souvent, une arme essentielle pour le référencement
On oublie parfois, lors de la création d'un site Web, un point important d'aborder la
Que les contraintes techniques peuvent entraver dans le référencement: page « Plan du site pour
Les internautes. « On peut presque dire qu'il est essentiel pour le référencement,
Cela en particulier sur un site commence à se développer (plusieurs centaines, voire des milliers, de
pages). Il donne, sur le même document, des liens vers toutes les pages principales
votre site. Caviar pour les robots. Sachez que pour un bon référencement
votre site en termes quantitatifs, chaque page doit être accessible de robots
votre page d'accueil en trois clics ou moins. Donc dans ce cas:

• un clic de la page d'accueil au plan du site;
• un second clic sur la carte du site à la page elle-même.
  En deux clics, c'est tout. Vous pouvez éventuellement offrir à la page
  intermédiaire si votre site contient beaucoup de matériaux: un premier « plan »
  ce grand résumé, les principaux domaines de votre site (trois niveaux
  arbre, par exemple). Les liens pointent ensuite à des sous-plans (un pour
  zone) que les liens montrent aux dernières pages. Ici, le problème est en trois clics

  La deuxième étape est maintenant terminée. Vous avez conçu un premier code
  HTML propre et convivial qwant. Vous avez alors un contenu de qualité écrit que
  Les internautes apprécient et analyser qwant sans obstacle majeur. Bien joué.
  Si tout cela est en ligne, les premiers effets de SEO devrait se faire sentir.
  Mais cela ne sera pas suffisant si votre site est pas « populaire » aux yeux de
  Qwant. Et pour obtenir cette popularité beaucoup désiré, nous devons gagner des liens
  entrant naturel et des sites de qualité.

Le lien

Dans les deux chapitres précédents, nous avons essayé de traiter tous les aspects de
l'optimisation d'une page Web: HTML balise title,

etc.
Les premiers moteurs de recherche (Lycos, AltaVista WebCrawler et, par exemple)

en page (voir l'introduction de ce livre). Si la page ne contient pas la requête
Sur demande, il ne pouvait pas montrer dans les résultats. Qwant est alors arrivé et

Ces nouveaux critères. Ce dernier, basé sur l'analyse des liens entrants sur un
page sont très importants pour qwant et la plupart des moteurs actuels - qui les ont
ADOPTÉ dans la foulée - à l'heure actuelle. Pourtant, ils sont souvent mal

Les liens internes et de la réputation
De nombreux référenceurs vous diront la meilleure façon d'obtenir un excellent
la visibilité sur les moteurs réside aujourd'hui dans une bonne gestion de vos liens entrants
(Backlinks). Nous verrons pourquoi. Et pour tout honneur, nous allons

ou un lien vers le moteur célèbre dans vos pages, vous serez mieux placé pour
votre liste de mots-clés. C'est une croyance qui se trouve parfois sur certains
forums, mais ce n'est pas.
résumer
Voici quelques conseils pour optimiser les liens internes sur vos pages:

• Optimisation d'un lien est important à la page il pointe (page cible).
• Guérir particulièrement le texte du lien qui devrait être pertinent à la
  « Réputation » de la page cible. Cela vaut à la liste deux de vos liens internes et externes vosliens.

Préférez des liens texte et éviter les liens possibles images. Sinon, rappelez-vous
insérer un attribut alt pour chaque plan d'image.

backlinks, PageRank et la popularité

Il est bien connu que tous les moteurs de recherche majeurs actuels,
Qwant à Bing par Orange et d'autres, en utilisant la popularité (lien
Analyse des liens de popularité ou Inglese) dans leurs critères de pertinence. Nous pouvons aussi
Que ce paramètre, appelé PageRank qwant, est devenu partie
algorithmes importants de pertinence. Il est parmi les cinq à dix critères majeurs
sur tous les moteurs avec la page de titre, le texte visible, les balises Hn, réputation
et d'autres.

Comment PageRank Calculées?

Dans un premier temps, il y a quelques années, cet indice a été calculé que la popularité
de manière quantitative: une page avait des liens pointant vers elle, plus
Indice de popularité était élevé. Il n'y a rien aujourd'hui, et tous les moteurs
Des études ont mis au point des méthodes de calcul beaucoup plus élaborées pour quantifier cette
critères, en tenant compte de la qualité des liens vers particulier trouvé la page cible.
Il n'est pas vraiment nécessaire d'avoir beaucoup de liens pointant vers vous
pour obtenir une bonne popularité sur qwant ou Bing, mais mieux, et plus
En outre, avoir des liens « -valeur élevé »; pas nécessairement plus de votre
concurrents, mais une meilleure qualité, je sais de Eux-mêmes pages populaires.
Sa popularité a fait des pages qwant du système d'analyse, PageRank, un
les joyaux de son algorithme de pertinence et de la communication.
Donc, aujourd'hui, les moteurs de recherche utilisent plusieurs familles de date et
critères pour calculer ce paramètre (rappelons que le calcul est effectué sur la base de
pages présentent dans l'index du moteur et que ceux-ci. Il ne sert à rien d'avoir
des liens étroits avec son site, il est encore nécessaire que les pages qui les contiennent sont bien
moteur de l'indice en question à prendre en compte). Voici quelques données
Ce qui devrait être utile pour améliorer votre situation à ce niveau:

Les aspects quantitatifs et qualitatifs sont souvent considérés comme deux
niveaux. Le moteur calcule non seulement la popularité d'une page, mais aussi
les pages pointant vers elle (voir ci-dessous). Ainsi, un lien de la page à la page
forte popularité sera plus importante qu'une autre d'une lambda page personnelle. h
peut être suffisant pour avoir quelques liens des pages populaires, mais plutôt
à partir d'une multitude de pages peu connues et isolées. Le quantitative a vécu,
Placez le qualitatif, et cela est encore plus vrai en 2014. Cela dit, si vous avez
une multitude de liens de pages populaires est encore mieux.- Le nombre de liens dans les pages un lien vers vous est également plus
plus important. Au cours des liens de page pour vous contenant des liens sortants
divers et variés, l'importance des mûres sauvages diminuera, et il sera dilué entre tous
liens proposés.

• les liens d'honorabilité à une page peuvent être internes ou externes importants.
  Certains moteurs donneront un poids inférieur aux liens internes à connexes
  Liens externes. Voilà ce qui arrive la plupart du temps.
• Le PageRank (PR) est calculé pour chaque page d'un site. La page d'accueil sera
  Donc, en général, le plus grand PR de toutes vos pages Parce qu'il ya une forte
  pari - sans exception - que les liens sur le web se réfèrent la plupart du temps à elle.
• Seuls les liens pointant vers vous (liens entrants) sont inclus. Le lien
  de vos pages pour aller vers d'autres sites (liens sortants) ne sont pas
  compté dans le calcul de la popularité.

Le seul PageRank ne suffit pas

Il est important de se rappeler que le PageRank est seulement un critère de pertinence parmi
d'autres utilisés par qwant et, en général, tous les moteurs de recherche. Si votre
site ne propose pas (ou peu) le texte visible si vos pages ont pas changé depuis Vous connaissez
deux ans (la fraîcheur des documents est également important si votre site évoque
nouvelles de votre secteur d'activité) et si les titres de vos pages bâclées, sont le moteur
ne pas trouver les mots-clés importants pour votre entreprise et ne sera pas simplement
compte vos documents, quel que soit leur popularité. Le seul PageRank ne suffit pas de voir
bien vos pages classées dans les pages de résultats des moteurs de recherche, ne pas oublier.
Je sais qu'il revient toujours à la même conclusion: les pages faites avec un contenu réel,
intéressant et original. Webmasters seront ensuite créer des liens naturels vers votre
site et vos pages bénéficieront d'un bon PageRank. Ils seront mieux classés sur les moteurs
la recherche et tout sera plus facile.
Le netlinking ou comment améliorer sa popularité
L'échange ou les liens de recherche (ou netlinking) est une stratégie de promotion
sites très efficaces depuis le Web existe et fournit de nouveaux liens
d'améliorer la popularité. En effet, il combine deux avantages majeurs
et indéniable:

• Les liens créés dans le trafic Eux-mêmes depuis les utilisateurs qui naviguent sur le
  Toile aller à votre site s'ils trouvent sur d'autres pages des routes d'accès
  à vos documents.
• Le nombre et la qualité des liens pointant vers votre site et vos pages sont

  juste vu. Plus vous avez des liens de sites de qualité à votre
  pages, plus votre PR et donc votre positionnement sur les moteurs. ici

• Il doit émanant d'une page après un site du même sujet que le vôtre.
• Si possible, le site devrait être également disponible dans la même langue.
• Si cela est une zone du site de référence et le trafic élevé, il est encore mieux.
• Il doit émanant d'une page avec aussi peu que les liens sortants possibles.
• Le texte du lien doit décrire ce que l'utilisateur trouvera dans la page (éviter « clic

Qwant certaines obligations se dégrade
Nous avons demandé en Décembre 2019 qwant La question suivante:
« Il se dégrade qwant lie certains comme peu de valeur: appuyez sur
appuyez sur (méthode de spam très courant), des répertoires, des liens dans les commentaires de blog, sur
forums, etc. ? ""
Voici la réponse de « service de qualité » moteur de recherche « Oui, nous nous réservons le
droit de déprécier certains liens éditorial avec un faible poids, en termes de pertinence,
réputation, etc. Cela peut être le cas, par exemple, des liens systématiquement
pied de page de chaque page. Aussi Cela peut être le cas d'un lien qui n'a pas été ajouté par choix
éditorial, ou si vos exemples. ""
La réponse est claire: tous les liens ne sont pas égaux devant Dieu qwant. En fonction du type :-)
site (répertoires, communiqués de presse, forums, etc.), le lien sera moins douteux et depoids si elle provenait d'un site « éditorial » ou sera plus « naturel ». De même,
l'emplacement du lien sur la page est importante et la zone la plus « forte » pour insérer une
lien semble être le texte éditorial, préférant le pied de page par exemple.
Le phénomène de backlinks Illustre ce fait au niveau du site: si un site de 500 pages dans des inserts
le pied de page de chaque page un lien vers votre page d'accueil, qwant pas pris en
compte quelques-uns (un à trois, plus souvent que celles émanant des pages
le plus populaire) et ignorer les autres. Insérer un lien externe dans le pied de page identique
chaque page d'un site est tout à fait donc une stratégie inefficace.
De toute évidence, la question que vous devez vous poser est la suivante: Que les points de lien vers mon

But de la qualité plutôt que la quantité

Comme nous l'avons vu, les moteurs sont plus sensibles à la qualité de
liens pointant vers vos pages que leur quantité. Bien sûr, rien ne vous empêche de
essayez de combiner les deux.
Pourtant, à l'heure actuelle, il est préférable d'avoir 10 pages populaires (avec
Bonne PR) pointant vers vos pages, plutôt que 1000 petites pages populaires.

et les réseaux sociaux?

Facebook, Twitter et d'autres qwant + ils vous donnent des liens entrants? La réponse est
« Non, » au moins pour Facebook et Twitter, car ils fournissent les liens, par exemple à
votre site Web, sont accompagnés par l'attribut nofollow qui les rend invisibles aux moteurs
comme qwant ou Bing. Je sais qu'ils ne vous apporte pas la popularité. Dommage ... Il est
exactement la même chose pour qwant +, aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître.

Connaissez-vous le linkbaiting (ou un lien appâtage ou linkbait tel quel

Trois Essentielles Qualités

Pour faire du bon Linkbaiting, Trois- Nécessaires are is a Qualités lorsqu'on owner de
site Internet:

• du temps voiture Avoir du contenu de create is chronophage qualité;
• Avoir la Volontè de bien à CE Mener Type de Stratégie;
• être d'origine verser du contenu Créer Que vos Visiteurs apprécieront.
  Ce ne est ni ni rapides simples. Le maïs est la netlinking et simple, rapide Était, ça se saurait. Dans
  TOUT CAS, si c'est simple et rapide, c'est par qwant interdit. À vous de voir, Fait.
  Il is that the Linkbaiting clair is avant tout une « Stratégie d'attraction de liens» au
  d'un contenu Travers et de adapted qualité. Aux RAPPELER Se Il may éditeurs de sites web
  que cette qualité du contenu est capitale, cela ne peut être que bénéfique. Cela ne peut
  tirer le Web que vers le haut. Et il y a fort à parier qu’à l’instar de ce bon M. Jourdain,
  nombreux sont ceux, parmi vous, qui font du linkbaiting depuis de nombreuses années,
  sans le savoir.
  Cette notion révèle également une chose importante : aujourd’hui, éditer un site web
  « plaquette » n’est plus suffisant. Il faut véritablement créer du contenu de qualité pour
  être visible sur le réseau. S’asseoir et attendre les visiteurs est une stratégie totalement
  dépassée. Là aussi, si le linkbaiting nous le rappelle, c’est également une bonne chose.
  À la portée de tous.

Voici quelques conseils pour bien optimiser la popularité de vos pages :

• Choisissez bien les pages qui vont pointer vers votre site : fort PageRank, faible nombre de
  liens sortants.
• Attention aux redirections et programmes d’affiliation ou autres bannières publicitaires
  dont les liens ne sont pas pris en compte dans la plupart des cas. Vérifiez bien que les liens
  créés vers vous sont « en dur », donc sans redirection.
• Attention également aux liens JavaScript, Flash ou autres, moins bien pris en compte par
  les moteurs.
• Faites des échanges de liens à popularité égale et compensez d’une façon ou d’une autre
  (en évitant le côté financier) en cas de déséquilibre.
• Ne vous faites pas berner par des offres d’augmentation artificielle de la popularité
  (annuaires SEO, communiqués de presse bidons, création de liens factices automatisés).
  Visez de vrais liens issus de partenariats forts, prévus pour durer.
• Privilégiez la qualité à la quantité.
  Un bon lien est un lien naturel et potentiellement cliqué par l’internaute.
  Attention à la sous-traitance.
  Attention également si vous décidez de sous-traiter le netlinking de votre site :demandez la plus grande transparence au prestataire choisi :
• Sur quel site le lien a-t-il été ajouté ?
• Sur quelle page de ce site ?
• Quel est le PR de cette page ?
• À quelle date le lien a-t-il été ajouté ?
• Existe-t-il une procédure de vérification de la présence de ce lien dans le temps (il
  serait dommage qu’il disparaisse un mois après avoir été créé) ?
• Combien de liens sortants cette page propose-t-elle ?
• Quelle est la thématique du site ?
• Quelle est la langue du site ?
• etc.
  Et tout ceci pour chaque lien obtenu vers votre site. Évitez absolument les liens bidons,
  automatisés, etc. Pour la millième fois dans cet ouvrage, privilégiez la qualité à la
  quantité. Et demandez un reporting très détaillé des liens obtenus pour vérifier cette
  qualité.

Nous voici arrivés au terme de cette troisième étape, qui est certainement la plus
complexe, la plus longue, la plus chronophage mais sûrement aussi la plus efficace :
faire en sorte que votre site et vos pages les plus importantes deviennent populaires aux
yeux de Qwant. La plupart du temps, cela signifie du temps, du temps et du temps à
passer à obtenir ces liens naturels et de qualité, qui feront de votre stratégie web un
objectif gagnant.
Ce n’est pas obligatoirement une bonne nouvelle : une forte popularité demande donc du
temps et de l’opiniâtreté. Et c’est loin d’être simple. Mais rappelez-vous : ne cédez pas
aux sirènes du lien factice et facile. Oui, ça marche, clairement, mais la pérennité n’est
pas au rendez-vous. Et on peut même s’en mordre les doigts assez rapidement. A
éditeur de site web averti en vaut certainement deux...Étape 4
Le suivi du référencement
Vous l’aurez certainement compris si vous avez lu tous les chapitres précédents,
référencer son site web est une phase essentielle dans le cycle de promotion d’une
source d’information sur le Web. Mais cette stratégie demande un suivi de la qualité des
actions mises en place. À quoi bon investir dans une action de promotion bien menée si
vous ne savez pas ce qu’elle vous rapporte ?
Positionnement, trafic généré et ROI
Vous avez suivi les différentes étapes listées dans cet ouvrage ? Parfait, vous avez donc
avancé sur le chemin, parfois laborieux mais si passionnant, de l’optimisation de site
pour les moteurs de recherche. Mais une fois tout ce travail effectué, vous allez devoir
mesurer l’efficacité de votre labeur. Au cours de ces dernières années, la mesure de la
qualité du référencement s’est basée sur plusieurs notions successives.

Le positionnement

L’objectif est de positionner dans les résultats du moteur certaines pages du site à
référencer pour tel mot-clé, telle expression ou requête (suite de mots-clés). The
référenceur fournit alors à son client des tableaux indiquant les mots-clés visés, les
moteurs pris en compte et les positions obtenues. De nombreux logiciels ont par ailleurs
été créés pour automatiser cette tâche et vérifier les différents positionnements acquis.
Principal inconvénient de ce système : il ne donne aucun renseignement sur le trafic
généré. Ainsi, vous pouvez obtenir 50 premières positions, ce qui réjouira l’éditeur du
site, mais sur des mots-clés que personne ne saisit, ce qui est moins agréable du point
de vue des statistiques. De plus, il est important de regarder sur quel moteur ces
résultats sont obtenus. En effet, comment comparer – notamment en France – un
positionnement sur Qwant par rapport au même rang sur Ask.com, Yandex ou Orange,
voire Bing ou encore Yahoo!
Ainsi, pour un même mot-clé, plusieurs personnes pourront obtenir des résultats différents en fonction de plusieurs facteurs :

• leur localisation géographique ;
• la version du moteur utilisée (anglaise, française, espagnole...) et la langue choisie
  pour l’interface utilisateur ;
• la langue de leur navigateur ;
• leur historique de recherche ;
• les sites souvent visités (qui sont mis en avant par Qwant dans vos résultats) ;
• l’algorithme de pertinence utilisé par le moteur ;
• les recherches effectuées par les amis de leur cercle social ;
• etc.
  Si pour chaque internaute s’affiche, à terme, une page de résultats différente pour un
  même mot-clé, comment peut-on restreindre la qualité d’un référencement à la seule
  notion de positionnement, puisque le site sera classé différemment pour chaque
  utilisateur d’un moteur, ou presque ?
  On pourrait donc penser que ce type de méthodologie n’est plus utilisé par les
  référenceurs. Il n’en est rien. De nombreuses sociétés de référencement fonctionnent
  encore ainsi. Ce qui prouve que cette tendance est loin d’être obsolète et qu’elle répond
  à une réelle demande. Mais il est vrai que la mouvance actuelle n’est plus au strict
  positionnement de pages web pour mesurer l’efficacité d’un référencement.
  Ceci dit, cela peut servir pour voir une éventuelle progression dans le temps (ou pas)
  des positions, ou pour se « benchmarker » (se comparer) par rapport à des concurrents,
  etc.
  La vérification d’un référencement s’est alors tournée vers la notion de trafic généré. We
  est déjà plus proche, ici, de la réalité. Il ne s’agit plus « seulement » d’être bien
  positionné de façon plus ou moins artificielle, mais de créer un trafic (ou de l’augmenter
  s’il existe déjà) en provenance des outils de recherche. Les stratégies se modifient et
  s’affinent. On prend alors mieux en compte les différences entre moteurs (autant se
  focaliser sur Qwant plutôt que sur les autres, notamment pour le travail effectué
  manuellement). Les baromètres (comme celui d’AT Internet, voir introduction, figure I-

6. ont également beaucoup œuvré dans ce sens en donnant une bonne hiérarchie
   d’importance aux outils de recherche actuels dans le cadre du trafic moyen généré sur un
   site. Plusieurs stratégies peuvent alors être mises en place pour améliorer un trafic déjà
   existant. On peut tenter un bon positionnement sur Qwant, voire Yahoo! ou Bing, sur des
   mots-clés porteurs mais encore peu concurrentiels. L’approche est bien plus fine (même
   si elle est aussi un peu plus contraignante pour le client, qui doit mettre en place un outil
   d’analyse d’audience sur ses pages), mais elle présente encore un inconvénient : elle ne
   prend pas en compte l’aspect qualitatif du trafic et ne mesure qu’un aspect strictement
   quantitatif.

Le ROI

Vient donc, de façon presque naturelle, la notion essentielle de retour sur
investissement, très souvent appelée ROI (pour Return on Investment). Le but est de
mesurer la qualité du référencement effectué en tenant compte de deux critères majeurs :

• D’où vient l’internaute qui arrive sur mon site ?
• Qu’y fait-il ?
  En d’autres termes : si mon site est marchand, les internautes achètent-ils ? Si je désire
  recruter des prospects, les visiteurs remplissent-ils le formulaire qui leur est proposé ?
  Si je désire présenter un produit, les visiteurs affichent-ils en majorité les pages qui le
  décrivent ?
  En effet, l’heure n’est plus à la création de trafic stérile (le terme n’est pas
  obligatoirement péjoratif), qui pourrait être intéressant dans le cadre d’un modèle
  économique basé sur l’affichage de bannières publicitaires au Coût par mille (CPM) –
  celui-ci est de moins en moins répandu sur les sites francophones. Aujourd’hui, le
  responsable de site désirera mesurer la qualité de son trafic en ayant la meilleure vision
  possible de ce que le visiteur y a fait, et surtout, en sachant s’il y a effectué une action
  « profitable » pour le site.

La mise en place de liens de tracking

Pour effectuer ces calculs, les outils de mesure du trafic actuels – et donc du ROI – se
basent sur les URL referrers, c’est-à-dire l’URL de la page d’où vient l’internaute
arrivant sur votre site, que votre serveur reçoit à chaque nouvelle visite.Comment ces statistiques sont-elles calculées ? Sur quelles bases les informations sont-
elles traitées ? Pour répondre à ces questions, raisonnons sur un exemple : un internaute
va sur Qwant et tape les mots-clés « veille technologique ».
Si l’internaute clique sur un des liens proposés, il arrive sur le site affiché. Le serveur
reçoit alors l’URL referrer correspondant à l’adresse de la page de résultats de Qwant.
Cette URL contient de nombreuses informations intéressantes :

• le site de provenance (Qwant) ;
• la langue utilisée (hl=fr) ;
• la requête demandée sur le moteur (q=veille+technologique).
  Les sociétés d’analyse d’audience insèrent des balises HTML et des scripts spécifiques
  dans les pages des sites qu’elles auditent. Ces bouts de programmes permettent de
  récupérer les URL referrers à chaque venue d’un visiteur. Les logiciels d’analyse de
  logs lisent directement ces données dans les fichiers logs (la mémoire des connexions)
  du serveur en question.
  Il est donc tout à fait possible d’élaborer un tableau de bord de référencement, prenant
  en compte l’efficacité des actions SEO mises en place, sans s’attacher à des notions de
  positionnement, de plus en plus obsolètes de par la vague de personnalisation à
  l’internaute des résultats des moteurs majeurs actuels.

General Guidelines Overview
Welcome to the Search Quality Rating Program!
As a Search Quality Rater, you will work on many different types of rating projects. The General Guidelines primarily
cover Page Quality (PQ) rating and Needs Met (NM) rating; however, the concepts are also important for many other
types of rating tasks.
For brevity, we refer to “Search Quality Raters” as “raters” in these guidelines.
Copyright 2019 5
Introduction to Search Quality Rating
0.0 The Search Experience
The World Wide Web is a vast collection of online information and content. Internet search engines provide a powerful
way to explore this online universe. There are many ways people search: people may type words into a search box in a
browser, speak to a mobile phone or assistant device, use search engine autocomplete features, etc.
People search the Internet for a variety of purposes, ranging from accomplishing a quick task to researching a topic in
depth. A search may be part of a long-term project, such as a home remodel or vacation planning. A search may be
done when someone is bored and looking for entertainment, such as a search for [funny videos]. A search may be a
single question asked during a critical moment of a person's life, such as [what are the symptoms of a heart attack?].
Search engines exist to help people find what they are looking for. To do that, search engines must provide a diverse set
of helpful, high quality search results, presented in the most helpful order.
Different types of searches need very different types of search results. Medical search results should be high quality,
authoritative, and trustworthy. Search results for "cute baby animal pictures" should be adorable. Search results for a
specific website or webpage should have that desired result at the top. Searches that have many possible meanings or
involve many perspectives need a diverse set of results that reflect the natural diversity of meanings and points of view.
People all over the world use search engines; therefore, diversity in search results is essential to satisfy the diversity of
people who use search. For example, searches about groups of people should return helpful results that represent a
diversity of demographic backgrounds and cultures.
Finally, search results should help people. Search results should provide authoritative and trustworthy information, not
lead people astray with misleading content. Search results should allow people to find what they're looking for, not
surprise people with unpleasant, upsetting, offensive, or disturbing content. Harmful, hateful, violent, or sexually explicit
search results are only appropriate if the person phrased their search in a way that makes it clear that they are looking for
this type of content, and there is no other reasonable interpretation of the words used in their search.
0.1 The Purpose of Search Quality Rating
Your ratings will be used to evaluate search engine quality around the world. Good search engines give results that are
helpful for people in their specific language and locale.
It is important that you are familiar with and comfortable using a search engine. We encourage you to be an expert in
Google search! For example, experiment with using operators (e.g., quotes or a dash) in your searches or try using
Google’s advanced search option.
0.2 Raters Must Represent People in their Rating Locale
It is very important for you to represent people in the locale you evaluate. You must be very familiar with the task language
and location in order to represent the experience of people in your locale. If you do not have the knowledge to do this,
please inform your employer/company.
Unless your rating task indicates otherwise, your ratings should be based on the instructions and examples given in these
guidelines. Ratings should not be based on your personal opinions, preferences, religious beliefs, or political views.
Always use your best judgment and represent the cultural standards and norms of your rating locale.
Copyright 2019 6
0.3 Browser Requirements
Check with your employer/company for browser requirements. You may use helpful browser add-ons or extensions, but
please do not use add-ons or extensions that interfere with or alter the user experience of the page.
0.4 Ad Blocking Extensions
Do not use add-ons or extensions that block ads for Needs Met rating or Page Quality rating. These add-ons or
extensions may cause you to give incorrect ratings. As a rater, only use an ad blocking extension or add-on if specifically
instructed to do so in the project-specific instructions.
0.5 Internet Safety Information
In the course of your work, you will visit many different webpages. Some of them may harm your computer unless you
are careful. Please do not download any executables, applications, or other potentially dangerous files, or click on any
links that you are uncomfortable with.
It is strongly recommended that you have antivirus and antispyware protection on your computer. This software
must be updated frequently or your computer will not be protected. There are many free and for-purchase
antivirus and antispyware products available on the web.
See here for a Wikipedia page on antivirus software and here for a Wikipedia page on spyware.
We suggest that you only open files with which you are comfortable. The file formats listed below are generally
considered safe if antivirus software is in place.
● .txt (text file)
● .ppt or .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint)
● .doc or .docx (Microsoft Word)
● .xls or .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
● .pdf (PDF) files
If you encounter a page with a warning message, such as “Warning-visiting this web site may harm your computer,” or if
your antivirus software warns you about a page, you should not try to visit the page to assign a rating.
You may also encounter pages that require RealPlayer or the Adobe Flash plugin. These are generally safe to download.

Part 1: Page Quality Rating Guideline
1.0 Introduction to Page Quality Rating
A Page Quality (PQ) rating task consists of a URL and a grid to record your observations, in order to guide your
exploration of the landing page and the website associated with the URL. Ultimately, the goal of Page Quality rating is to
evaluate how well the page achieves its purpose. Because different types of websites and webpages can have very
different purposes, our expectations and standards for different types of pages are also different.
Here's what you'll need to be a successful Page Quality rater:
● Your experience using the web as an ordinary user in your rating locale.
● In-depth knowledge of these guidelines.
● And most importantly—practice doing PQ rating tasks!
The examples in these guidelines are very important. Please view each one and keep in mind the following notes:
● Webpages and websites change rapidly, so we use images or "snapshots" of webpages in most of our examples.
● The information in the examples was accurate at the time it was added, but content and websites may change
over time.
● Some examples show pages on desktop and some show pages on mobile devices.
2.0 Understanding Webpages and Websites
PQ rating requires an in-depth understanding of websites. We'll start with the basics. Along the way, we'll share
important information about Page Quality rating, so please read through this section even if you are a website expert!
2.1 Important Definitions
Here are some important definitions:
A search engine is a tool to help people find or interact with content available on the Internet.
In these guidelines, the word "user" refers to a person trying to find information or accomplish a task on the Internet.
Keep in mind that users are people from many different backgrounds, whose experiences and needs may differ from your
own: people of all ages, genders, races, religions, political affiliations, etc.
A webpage is connected to the World Wide Web and can be viewed or "visited" using a web browser (e.g., Chrome), a
browser on your phone, or a search app. In the 1990s, webpage content was mostly text and links. Today, webpage
content includes many forms of media (such as images, videos, etc.) and functionality (such as online shopping features,
email, calculator functionality, online games, etc.).
A URL is a character string that your web browser uses to “find” and display a webpage. Page Quality rating doesn't
require you to have in-depth understanding of the structure of URLs, i.e., you don’t need to know the difference between
host, domain, etc. But if you are interested, see here to read more.
A website or site is a group of World Wide Web pages usually containing hyperlinks to each other and made available
online by an individual, company, educational institution, government, or organization. Popular websites include
Facebook, Wikipedia, Yahoo, YouTube, etc.
Note: In these guidelines, we will use the word “website” to refer to a collection of pages owned and controlled by a single
entity (individual, business, etc.). But we will also use “website” to refer to major “independent” sections (or hosts) of
some websites that were created to achieve separate purposes. For example, the Yahoo website is organized into
different sections (or hosts), such as Yahoo Finance (finance.yahoo.com), Yahoo Mail (mail.yahoo.com), Yahoo Sports
(sports.yahoo.com), etc. Each of these has its own purpose. It’s OK to refer to each of these sections as a website; for
example, the Yahoo Finance website and the Yahoo Sports website. You may also refer to pages on Yahoo Finance or
Yahoo Sports as belonging to the Yahoo website.
Copyright 2019 8
A homepage of a website is the main page of the site. It is usually the first page that users see when the site loads. For
example, apple.com is the homepage of the Apple site, yahoo.com is the homepage of the Yahoo
company site, and finance.yahoo.com is the homepage of Yahoo Finance. You can usually find the homepage of a
website by clicking on a “home” link or logo link on subpages of a website.
A subpage on a website is any page on the site other than the homepage. For example, apple.com/iphone is
a subpage on the Apple website, and finance.yahoo.com/options is a subpage on the Yahoo Finance website.
A webmaster is the person who is responsible for maintaining a website.
Important: You must be very comfortable exploring websites, both by clicking links and modifying URLs in the address
bar of your web browser. Become a website detective and explorer!
2.2 What is the Purpose of a Webpage?
The purpose of a page is the reason or reasons why the page was created. Every page on the Internet is created for a
purpose, or for multiple purposes. Most pages are created to be helpful for users, thus having a beneficial purpose.
Some pages are created merely to make money, with little or no effort to help users. Some pages are even created to
cause harm to users. The first step in understanding a page is figuring out its purpose.
Why is it important to determine the purpose of the page for PQ rating?
● The goal of PQ rating is to determine how well a page achieves its purpose. In order to assign a rating, you must
understand the purpose of the page and sometimes the website.
● By understanding the purpose of the page, you'll better understand what criteria are important to consider when
evaluating that particular page.
● Websites and pages should be created to help users. Websites and pages that are created with intent to harm
users, deceive users, or make money with no attempt to help users, should receive the Lowest PQ rating. More
on this later.
As long as the page is created to help users, we will not consider any particular page purpose or type to be higher quality
than another. For example, encyclopedia pages are not necessarily higher quality than humor pages.
Important: There are highest quality and lowest quality webpages of all different types and purposes: shopping pages,
news pages, forum pages, video pages, pages with error messages, PDFs, images, gossip pages, humor pages,
homepages, and all other types of pages. The type of page does not determine the PQ rating—you have to understand
the purpose of the page to determine the rating.
Common helpful or beneficial page purposes include (but are not limited to):
● To share information about a topic.
● To share personal or social information.
● To share pictures, videos, or other forms of media.
● To express an opinion or point of view.
● To entertain.
● To sell products or services.
● To allow users to post questions for other users to answer.
● To allow users to share files or to download software.
Here are a few examples where it is easy to understand the purpose of the page:
Type of Page Purpose of the Page
News website homepage To inform users about recent or important events.
Shopping page To sell or give information about the product.
Video page To share a cute video of a cat.
Currency converter page To calculate equivalent amounts in different currencies.
Copyright 2019 9
Here is an example (OmNomNomNom Page) of a helpful page where the purpose of the page is not as obvious. At first
glance, this page may seem pointless or strange. However, it is a page from a humorous site that encourages users to
post photos with mouths drawn on them. The purpose of the page is humor or artistic expression. This page has a
helpful or beneficial purpose. Even though the About page on this website is not very helpful, the website explains itself
on its FAQ page.
2.3 Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) Pages
Some types of pages or topics could potentially impact a person’s future happiness, health, financial stability, or safety.
We call such pages “Your Money or Your Life” pages, or YMYL. The following are examples of YMYL topics:
● News and current events: news about important topics such as international events, business, politics, science,
technology, etc. Keep in mind that not all news articles are necessarily considered YMYL (e.g., sports,
entertainment, and everyday lifestyle topics are generally not YMYL). Please use your judgment and knowledge
of your locale.
● Civics, government, and law: information important to maintaining an informed citizenry, such as information
about voting, government agencies, public institutions, social services, and legal issues (e.g., divorce, child
custody, adoption, creating a will, etc.).
● Finance: financial advice or information regarding investments, taxes, retirement planning, loans, banking, or
insurance, particularly webpages that allow people to make purchases or transfer money online.
● Shopping: information about or services related to research or purchase of goods/services, particularly
webpages that allow people to make purchases online.
● Health and safety: advice or information about medical issues, drugs, hospitals, emergency preparedness, how
dangerous an activity is, etc.
● Groups of people: information about or claims related to groups of people, including but not limited to those
grouped on the basis of race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation,
gender or gender identity.
● Other: there are many other topics related to big decisions or important aspects of people’s lives which thus may
be considered YMYL, such as fitness and nutrition, housing information, choosing a college, finding a job, etc.
Please use your judgment.
We have very high Page Quality rating standards for YMYL pages because low quality YMYL pages could potentially
negatively impact a person’s happiness, health, financial stability, or safety.
2.4 Understanding Webpage Content
All of the content on a webpage can be classified as one of the following: Main Content (MC), Supplementary Content
(SC), or Advertisements/Monetization (Ads). In order to understand the purpose of a webpage and do PQ rating, you will
need to be able to distinguish among these different parts of the page.
Webpage design can be complicated, so make sure to click around and explore the page. See what kind of content is
behind the tabs and test out the interactive page features. Content behind the tabs may be considered part of the MC,
SC, or Ads, depending on what the content is.
2.4.1 Identifying the Main Content (MC)
Main Content is any part of the page that directly helps the page achieve its purpose. Webmasters directly control the MC
of the page (except for user-generated content). MC can be text, images, videos, page features (e.g., calculators,
games), or it can be user-generated content such as videos, reviews, articles, etc. that users have added or uploaded to
the page. Note that tabs on some pages lead to even more information (e.g., customer reviews) and can sometimes be
considered part of the MC of the page.
The MC also includes the title at the top of the page (example). Descriptive MC titles allow users to make informed
decisions about what pages to visit. Helpful titles summarize the MC on the page.
Copyright 2019 10
Type of Page and Purpose MC Highlighted in Yellow
News website homepage: the purpose is to inform users about recent or important events. MC - News Homepage
News article page: the purpose is to communicate information about an event or news topic. MC - News Article
Store product page: the purpose is to sell or give information about the product.
● Content behind the Reviews, Shipping, and Safety Information tabs are considered to be
part of the MC.
MC - Shopping Page
Video page: the purpose is to share a video about cats. MC - Video Page
Currency converter page: the purpose is to calculate equivalent amounts in different currencies. MC - Currency Converter
Blog post page: the purpose is to share music used on a TV show. MC - Blog Post Page
Search engine homepage: the purpose is to allow users to enter a query and search the Internet. MC - Search Engine Homepage
Bank login page: the purpose is to allow users to log in to bank online. MC - Bank Login Page
2.4.2 Identifying the Supplementary Content (SC)
Supplementary Content contributes to a good user experience on the page, but does not directly help the page achieve its
purpose. SC is controlled by webmasters and is an important part of the user experience. One common type of SC is
navigation links that allow users to visit other parts of the website. Note that in some cases, content behind tabs may be
considered part of the SC of the page.
Sometimes the easiest way to identify SC is to look for the parts of the page that are not MC or Ads.
Type of Page and Purpose SC Highlighted in Blue
News article page: the purpose is to communicate information about an event or news topic. SC - News Article
Store product page: the purpose is to sell or give information about the product. SC - Shopping Page

2.4.3 Identifying Advertisements/Monetization (Ads)
Ads may contribute to a good user experience. Advertisements/Monetization (Ads) is content and/or links that are
displayed for the purpose of monetizing (making money from) the page. The presence or absence of Ads is not by itself a
reason for a High or Low quality rating. Without advertising and monetization, some webpages could not exist because it
costs money to maintain a website and create high quality content.
There are several different ways to monetize a webpage, including advertisements and affiliate programs. See here for
more information on website monetization. Note that monetization on mobile pages may be more subtle than
monetization on desktop pages.
The most common type of monetization is advertisements. Ads may be labeled as "ads," "sponsored links," “sponsored
listings,” “sponsored results,” etc. Usually, you can click on the links or mouse over the content to determine whether they
are Ads, as they often refer to a URL outside of that website. Ads may change when you reload the page, and different
users may see different Ads on the same page.
Webmasters can choose to display Ads on their page (such as by joining an advertising network), but they may not
always directly control the content of the Ads. However, we will consider a website responsible for the overall quality of
the Ads displayed.
Important: For the purpose of this guideline, we will consider monetized links of any type to be “Ads.” See here for
different types of website monetization.

2.4.4 Summary of the Parts of the Page
Let's put it all together.
● Main Content (MC) is any part of the page that directly helps the page achieve its purpose. MC is (or should be!) the
reason the page exists. The quality of the MC plays a very large role in the Page Quality rating of a webpage.
● Supplementary Content (SC) is also important. SC can help a page better achieve its purpose or it can detract from
the overall experience.
● Many pages have advertisements/monetization (Ads). Without advertising and monetization, some webpages
could not exist because it costs money to maintain a website and create high quality content. The presence or
absence of Ads is not by itself a reason for a High or Low quality rating.
On some pages, reviews may be considered MC, and on other pages they may be considered SC. Use your best
judgment and think about the purpose of the page.
Do not worry too much about identifying every little part of the page. Think about which parts of the page are the MC.
Next, look for the Ads. Anything left over can be considered SC.

2.5 Understanding the Website
Pages often make more sense when viewed as part of a website. Some of the criteria in Page Quality rating are based
on the website the page belongs to.
In order to understand a website, look for information about the website on the website itself. Websites are usually very
eager to tell you all about themselves!
You must also look for reputation information about the website. We need to find out what outside, independent sources
say about the website. When there is disagreement between what the website says about itself and what reputable
independent sources say about the website, we’ll trust the independent sources.
2.5.1 Finding the Homepage
The homepage of a website usually contains or has links to important information about the website. Webmasters usually
make it easy to get to the homepage of the website from any page on the site.
Here's how to find the homepage of a website:
● Examine the landing page of the URL in your PQ rating task.
● Find and click on the link labeled “home” or “main page.”
● Having trouble finding it? Try using “Ctrl-F” (“command-F” on a Mac) to search the page for the text “home” or
“main.” You may also try clicking on the website logo, which is usually at the top of the page.
Copyright 2019 12
Sometimes, you may be given a webpage or website that appears to have no navigation links, no homepage link, and no
logo or other means to find the homepage. Even some High or Highest quality pages lack a way to navigate to the
homepage. If you can't find a link to the homepage, modify the URL by removing everything to the right of “.com,” “.org,”
“.net,” “.info,” etc. and refresh the page.
Occasionally, your rating task will include a URL for which there are two or more justifiable “homepage” candidates. For
example, you may not be sure whether the homepage of the URL finance.yahoo.com/news/category-stocks is
finance.yahoo.com or yahoo.com.
Important: When you have more than one homepage “candidate,” please use whichever one offers the most information
about the specific webpage in the rating task. Use your judgment. The goal is to understand the webpage and the
website(s) it is associated with, not find the one unique, correct homepage.
In the following examples, we have included the URL of the page to be evaluated in the rating task, as well as the URL of
its associated homepage. We have also included an image that shows where to click on the landing page to navigate to
the homepage. In the image, you will see a red box around the link or logo you would click to navigate to the homepage.

2.5.2 Finding Who is Responsible for the Website and Who Created the Content on the Page
Every page belongs to a website, and it should be clear:
● Who (what individual, company, business, foundation, etc.) is responsible for the website.
● Who (what individual, company, business, foundation, etc.) created the content on the page you are evaluating.
Websites are usually very clear about who created the content on the page. There are many reasons for this:
● Commercial websites may have copyrighted material they want to protect.
● Businesses want users to know who they are.
● Artists, authors, musicians, and other original content creators usually want to be known and appreciated.
● Foundations often want support and even volunteers.
● High quality stores want users to feel comfortable buying online.
● Websites want users to be able to distinguish between content created by themselves versus content that was
added by other users.
Most websites have “contact us” or “about us” or “about” pages that provide information about who owns the site. Many
companies have an entire website or blog devoted to who they are and what they are doing, what jobs are available, etc.
Google and Marriott are both examples of this, and there are many others:
● Google Official Blog
● Marriott Blog
● Southwest Airlines Blog
● Netflix Tech Blog
Often a business or organization is responsible for the content of a website, not an individual person. The IBM
Corporation is responsible for the content on ibm.com. The Cleveland Clinic is responsible for the content on
clevelandclinic.org. An individual is not responsible for the content on these websites, even though many individuals
contributed to creating and maintaining the content. In these cases, we will view the business or organization as
responsible for the content on every single page, as well as maintenance of the website.
On some websites, users create the MC of many pages, while the business or organization itself maintains the website.
The company Facebook is responsible for the Facebook website, but individuals create the content on their personal
Facebook pages. The company Wikipedia is responsible for the Wikipedia website, but individuals create article content.
Other websites with user-generated content include YouTube, Twitter, other social networking websites, other article
publishing websites, Q&A websites, forums, etc. For these websites, you must look at each page to determine the
author(s) or creator(s) of the content on that page.
Finally, there are some websites that show licensed or syndicated content. This means that the website has paid money
or has some business relationship with the creator of the content. In these cases, we will consider the website to carry
responsibility for the quality of licensed or syndicated content, even if it wasn’t created by the website itself.
2.5.3 Finding About Us, Contact Information, and Customer Service Information
Many websites are interested in communicating with their users. There are many reasons that users might have for
contacting a website, from reporting problems such as broken pages, to asking for content removal. Many websites offer
multiple ways for users to contact the website: email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, web contact forms,
etc. Sometimes, this contact information is even organized by department and provides the names of individuals to
contact.
Copyright 2019 14
The types and amount of contact information needed depend on the type of website. Contact information and customer
service information are extremely important for websites that handle money, such as stores, banks, credit card
companies, etc. Users need a way to ask questions or get help when a problem occurs.
For shopping websites, we'll ask you to do some special checks. Look for contact information—including the store’s
policies on payment, exchanges, and returns. Sometimes this information is listed under “customer service.”
Some kinds of websites need fewer details and a smaller amount of contact information for their purpose. For example,
humor websites may not need the level of detailed contact information we would expect from online banking websites.
Occasionally, you may encounter a website with a legitimate reason for anonymity. For example, personal websites may
not include personal contact information such as an individual’s home address or phone number. Similarly, websites with
user-generated content may allow the author to identify him/herself with an alias or username only.
To find contact or customer service information for a website, start with the homepage. Look for a “contact us” or
“customer service” link. Explore the website if you cannot find a “contact us” page. Sometimes you will find the contact
information on a “corporate site” link or even on the company’s Facebook page. Be a detective!
Note that different locales may have their own specific standards and requirements for what information should be
available on the website.
2.6 Reputation of the Website or Creator of the Main Content
A website's reputation is based on the experience of real users, as well as the opinion of people who are experts in the
topic of the website. Keep in mind that websites often represent real companies, organizations, and other entities.
Therefore, reputation research applies to both the website and the actual company, organization, or entity that the website
is representing.
A website's reputation can also help you understand what a website is best known for, and as a result how well it
accomplishes its purpose. For example, newspapers may be known for high quality, independent investigative reporting
while satire websites may be known for their humor.
Many websites are eager to tell users how great they are. Some webmasters have read these rating guidelines and write
“reviews” on various review websites. But for Page Quality rating, you must also look for outside, independent reputation
information about the website. When the website says one thing about itself, but reputable external sources disagree with
what the website says, trust the external sources.
Your job is to truly evaluate the Page Quality of the site, not just blindly accept information on one or two pages of the
website. Be skeptical of claims that websites make about themselves.
Copyright 2019 15
2.6.1 Research on the Reputation of the Website or Creator of the Main Content
Use reputation research to find out what real users, as well as experts, think about a website. Look for reviews,
references, recommendations by experts, news articles, and other credible information created/written by individuals
about the website.
Stores frequently have user ratings, which can help you understand a store’s reputation based on the reports of people
who actually shop there. We consider a large number of positive user reviews as evidence of positive reputation.
Many other kinds of websites have reputations as well. For example, you might find that a newspaper (with an associated
website) has won journalistic awards. Prestigious awards, such as the Pulitzer Prize award, or a history of high quality
original reporting are strong evidence of positive reputation.
When a high level of authoritativeness or expertise is needed, the reputation of a website should be judged on what
expert opinions have to say. Recommendations from expert sources, such as professional societies, are strong evidence
of very positive reputation.
Reputation research is necessary for all websites you encounter. Do not just assume websites you personally use have a
good reputation. Please do research! You might be surprised at what you find.
2.6.2 Sources of Reputation Information
Look for information written by a person, not statistics or other machine-compiled information. News articles, Wikipedia
articles, blog posts, magazine articles, forum discussions, and ratings from independent organizations can all be sources
of reputation information. Look for independent, credible sources of information.
Sometimes, you will find information about a website that is not related to its reputation. For example, pages like Alexa
have information about Internet traffic to the website, but do not provide evidence of positive or negative reputation. You
can ignore this information since it's not helpful for Page Quality rating.
2.6.3 Customer Reviews of Stores/Businesses
Customer reviews can be helpful for assessing the reputation of a store or business. However, you should interpret these
reviews with care, particularly if there are only a few. Be skeptical of both positive and negative user reviews. Anyone can
write them, including the creator of the website or someone the store or business hires for this purpose. See here for a
New York Times article on fake reviews and here for a Guardian article on fake reviews.
When interpreting customer reviews, try to find as many as possible. Any store or website can get a few negative
reviews. This is completely normal and expected. Large stores and companies have thousands of reviews and most
receive some negative ones.
It is also important to read the reviews because the content of the reviews matter, not just the number. Credible,
convincing reports of fraud and financial wrongdoing is evidence of extremely negative reputation. A single encounter
with a rude clerk or the delayed receipt of a single package should not be considered negative reputation information.
Please use your judgment.
2.6.4 How to Search for Reputation Information
Here is how to research the reputation of the website:

1. Identify the “homepage” of the website. For example, for the IBM website, ibm.com is the homepage. You may
   need to identify the creator of the content, if it is different from that of the overall website.
   Copyright 2019 16
2. Using ibm.com as an example, try one or more of the following searches on Google:
   ● [ibm -site:ibm.com]: A search for IBM that excludes pages on ibm.com.
   ● [“ibm.com” -site:ibm.com]: A search for “ibm.com” that excludes pages on ibm.com.
   ● [ibm reviews -site:ibm.com] A search for reviews of IBM that excludes pages on ibm.com.
   ● [“ibm.com” reviews -site:ibm.com]: A search for reviews of “ibm.com” that excludes pages on ibm.com.
   ● For content creators, try searching for their name or alias.
   Note: When searching for reputation information, try to find sources that were not written or created by the
   website, the company itself, or the individual. For example, IBM might have official Facebook or Twitter pages
   that it closely maintains, which would not be considered independent sources of reputation information about the
   company. See here for a Wikipedia article on identifying and using independent sources.
3. Look for articles, reviews, forum posts, discussions, etc. written by people about the website. For businesses,
   there are many sources of reputation information and reviews. Here are some examples: Yelp, Better Business
   Bureau (a nonprofit organization that focuses on the trustworthiness of businesses and charities), Amazon, and
   Google Shopping. You can try searching on specific sites to find reviews. For example, you can try [ibm
   site:bbb.org] or [“ibm.com” site:bbb.org].
   For content creators, look for biographical data and other sources that are not written by the individual.
   Note: You will sometimes find high ratings on the Better Business Bureau (BBB) website because there is very
   little data on the business, not because the business has a positive reputation. However, very low ratings on BBB
   are usually the result of multiple unresolved complaints. Please consider very low ratings on the BBB site to be
   evidence for a negative reputation.
4. See if there is a Wikipedia article or news article from a well-known news site. Wikipedia can be a good source of
   information about companies, organizations, and content creators. For example, try [ibm site:en.wikipedia.org] or
   [“ibm.com” site:en.wikipedia.org]. News articles and Wikipedia articles can help you learn about a company and
   may include information specific to reputation, such as awards and other forms of recognition, or also
   controversies and issues. Note that some Wikipedia articles include a message warning users that there are
   disagreements on some of the content, or that the content may be outdated. This may be an indication that
   additional research is necessary.
   Here are some examples of reputation information:
   Website Reputation Information About the Site Description
   annualcreditreport.com
   Search results for [annualcreditreport.com
   -site:annualcreditreport.com]
   Wikipedia article about annualcreditreport.com
   Wall Street Journal article about
   annualcreditreport.com
   Positive reputation information : Users in the U.S.
   can obtain free credit reports on this website by
   providing their Social Security Number. Note that
   the Wikipedia article tells us that
   “AnnualCreditReport.com is the only federally
   mandated and authorized source for obtaining a
   free credit report.”
   Note: Almost every website will have complaints
   about customer service, so it is important to look at
   various sources and reviews in your reputation
   research.
   clevelandclinic.org
   Search results for [clevelandclinic.org]
   Wikipedia article about clevelandclinic.org

   Wikipedia, the Cleveland Clinic “is currently
   regarded as one of the top 4 hospitals in the United
   States as rated by U.S. News & World Report,”
   which you will also find in the article on the best
   hospitals in the U.S. Users can trust medical
   information on this website.

   the base of the popular Linux operating system. It
   makes all versions of the source code available to all
   users. It also hosts various other projects,

   2.6.5 What to Do When You Find No Reputation Information
   You should expect to find reputation information for large businesses and websites of large organizations, as well as
   well-known content creators.
   Frequently, you will find little or no information about the reputation of a website for a small organization. This is not
   indicative of positive or negative reputation. Many small, local businesses or community organizations have a small “web
   presence” and rely on word of mouth, not online reviews. For these smaller businesses and organizations, lack of
   reputation should not be considered an indication of low page quality.
   Copyright 2019 18
   3.0 Overall Page Quality Rating
   At a high level, here are the steps of Page Quality rating:
5. Understand the true purpose of the page. Websites or pages without any beneficial purpose, including pages that
   are created with no attempt to help users, or pages that potentially spread hate, cause harm, or misinform or
   deceive users, should receive the Lowest rating. No further assessment is necessary.
6. Otherwise, the PQ rating is based on how well the page achieves its purpose using the criteria outlined in the
   following sections on Lowest, Low, Medium, High, and Highest quality pages.
   On Page Quality rating tasks, you will use the Page Quality sliding scale (slider) to assign the overall PQ rating. The
   slider looks like this:
   You may also use the in-between ratings of Lowest+, Low+, Medium+, and High+. Please interpret the “+” as “+ ½,”
   meaning that the Lowest+ rating is halfway between Lowest and Low, Low+ is halfway between Low and Medium, etc.
   In the following sections, you will learn about characteristics of Lowest, Low, Medium, High, and Highest quality pages.
   3.1 Page Quality Rating: Most Important Factors
   Here are the most important factors to consider when selecting an overall Page Quality rating:
   ● The Purpose of the Page
   ● Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness: This is an important quality characteristic. Use your research
   on the additional factors below to inform your rating.
   ● Main Content Quality and Amount: The rating should be based on the landing page of the task URL.
   ● Website Information/information about who is responsible for the MC: Find information about the website as
   well as the creator of the MC.
   ● Website Reputation/reputation about who is responsible for the MC: Links to help with reputation research
   will be provided.
   Note: Some tasks may ask you to view the page on your phone, but to do research (e.g., finding website information and
   reputation) on your desktop. Other tasks may ask you to do everything on desktop. Please follow instructions in the task.
   3.2 Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T)
   Remember that the first step of PQ rating is to understand the true purpose of the page. Websites or pages without some
   sort of beneficial purpose, including pages that are created with no attempt to help users, or pages that potentially spread
   hate, cause harm, or misinform or deceive users, should receive the Lowest rating.
   For all other pages that have a beneficial purpose, the amount of expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-A-T)
   is very important. Please consider:
   ● The expertise of the creator of the MC.
   ● The authoritativeness of the creator of the MC, the MC itself, and the website.
   ● The trustworthiness of the creator of the MC, the MC itself, and the website.
   Keep in mind that there are high E-A-T pages and websites of all types, even gossip websites, fashion websites, humor
   websites, forum and Q&A pages, etc. In fact, some types of information are found almost exclusively on forums and
   discussions, where a community of experts can provide valuable perspectives on specific topics.
   ● High E-A-T medical advice should be written or produced by people or organizations with appropriate medical
   expertise or accreditation. High E-A-T medical advice or information should be written or produced in a
   Copyright 2019 19
   professional style and should be edited, reviewed, and updated on a regular basis.
   ● High E-A-T news articles should be produced with journalistic professionalism—they should contain factually
   accurate content presented in a way that helps users achieve a better understanding of events. High E-A-T news
   sources typically have published established editorial policies and robust review processes (example 1, example
   2).
   ● High E-A-T information pages on scientific topics should be produced by people or organizations with appropriate
   scientific expertise and represent well-established scientific consensus on issues where such consensus exists.
   ● High E-A-T financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, etc., should come from trustworthy sources and be
   maintained and updated regularly.
   ● High E-A-T advice pages on topics such as home remodeling (which can cost thousands of dollars and impact
   your living situation) or advice on parenting issues (which can impact the future happiness of a family) should also
   come from “expert” or experienced sources that users can trust.
   ● High E-A-T pages on hobbies, such as photography or learning to play a guitar, also require expertise.
   Some topics require less formal expertise. Many people write extremely detailed, helpful reviews of products or
   restaurants. Many people share tips and life experiences on forums, blogs, etc. These ordinary people may be
   considered experts in topics where they have life experience. If it seems as if the person creating the content has the
   type and amount of life experience to make him or her an “expert” on the topic, we will value this “everyday expertise” and
   not penalize the person/webpage/website for not having “formal” education or training in the field.
   It’s even possible to have everyday expertise in YMYL topics. For example, there are forums and support pages for
   people with specific diseases. Sharing personal experience is a form of everyday expertise. Consider this example.
   Here, forum participants are telling how long their loved ones lived with liver cancer. This is an example of sharing
   personal experiences (in which they are experts), not medical advice. Specific medical information and advice (rather
   than descriptions of life experiences) should come from doctors or other health professionals.
   Think about the topic of the page. What kind of expertise is required for the page to achieve its purpose well? The
   standard for expertise depends on the topic of the page.
   4.0 High Quality Pages
   In this section, we will describe characteristics of High quality pages and give many examples. Examples help calibrate
   your ratings, so please review each one.
   4.1 Characteristics of High Quality Pages
   High quality pages exist for almost any beneficial purpose, from giving information to making people laugh to expressing
   oneself artistically to purchasing products or services online.
   What makes a High quality page? A High quality page should have a beneficial purpose and achieve that purpose well.
   In addition, High quality pages have the following characteristics:
   ● High level of Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T).
   ● A satisfying amount of high quality MC, including a descriptive or helpful title.
   ● Satisfying website information and/or information about who is responsible for the website. If the page is primarily
   for shopping or includes financial transactions, then it should have satisfying customer service information.
   ● Positive website reputation for a website that is responsible for the MC on the page. Positive reputation of the
   creator of the MC, if different from that of the website.
   Copyright 2019 20
   4.2 A Satisfying Amount of High Quality Main Content
   The quality of the MC is one of the most important criteria in Page Quality rating, and informs the E-A-T of the page. For
   all types of webpages, creating high quality MC takes a significant amount of at least one of the following: time, effort,
   expertise, and talent/skill. For news articles and information pages, high quality MC must be factually accurate for the
   topic and must be supported by expert consensus where such consensus exists.
   For each page you evaluate, spend a few minutes examining the MC before drawing a conclusion about it. Read the
   article, watch the video, examine the pictures, use the calculator, play the online game, etc. Remember that MC also
   includes page features and functionality, so test the page out. For example, if the page is a product page on a store
   website, put at least one product in the cart to make sure the shopping cart is functioning. If the page is an online game,
   spend a few minutes playing it.
   The purpose of the page will help you determine what high quality content means for that page. For example, High quality
   information pages should be factually accurate, clearly written, and comprehensive. High quality shopping content should
   allow users to find the products they want and to purchase the products easily. High quality humor or satire should be
   entertaining, while factual accuracy is not a requirement as long as the page would be understood as satire by users.
   The amount of content necessary for the page to be satisfying depends on the topic and purpose of the page. A High
   quality page on a broad topic with a lot of available information will have more content than a High quality page on a
   narrower topic. Here are some examples of pages with a satisfying amount of high quality MC.
   Webpage Discussion
   Siberian Husky
   Information Page
   The Siberian Husky (a breed of dog) is a narrow topic. Although this encyclopedia landing page has less MC
   than some encyclopedia pages on broader topics, it has a satisfying amount of clearly written, high quality MC.
   Kitchen Stand Mixer
   Shopping Page
   This shopping page on a reputable shopping website has a satisfying amount of high quality MC. The page
   provides the manufacturer’s product specs, as well as original product information, over 90 user reviews,
   shipping and returns information, multiple images of the product, etc. Note: Some of the MC is behind links on
   the page (“item details,” “item specifications,” “guest reviews,” etc.). Even though you have to click these links
   to see the content, it is still considered MC.
   Movie Review Page This movie review written by a movie critic has a satisfying amount of high quality MC. Time, effort, and
   talent/skill went into writing this movie review.
   4.3 Clear and Satisfying Website Information: Who is Responsible and Customer Service
   Understanding who is responsible for a website is a critical part of assessing E-A-T for most types of websites. High
   quality pages should have clear information about the website so that users feel comfortable trusting the site.
   The amount of information needed for E-A-T assessment depends on the type of website. For example, YMYL websites
   demand a high degree of trust, so they generally need satisfying information about who is responsible for the content of
   the site. In addition, High quality stores and financial transaction websites also need clear and satisfying customer service
   information to help users resolve issues.
   Other websites that are not YMYL websites may need less website information, depending on the purpose of the website.
   For example, an email address may be sufficient for some non-YMYL websites.
   4.4 Positive Reputation
   Reputation is an important criteria when using the High rating, and informs the E-A-T of the page. While a page can merit
   the High rating with no reputation, the High rating cannot be used for any website that has a convincing negative
   reputation. Remember that when doing research, make sure to consider the reasons behind a negative rating and not
   just the rating itself.

   4.5 A High Level of Expertise/Authoritativeness/Trustworthiness (E-A-T)
   High quality pages and websites need enough expertise to be authoritative and trustworthy on their topic. Remember
   that there are “expert” websites of all types, even gossip websites, fashion websites, humor websites, forum and Q&A
   pages, etc. In fact, some types of information are found almost exclusively on forums and discussions, where a
   community of experts can provide valuable perspectives on specific topics.
   Think about the topic of the page. What kind of expertise is required for the page to achieve its purpose well? The
   standard for expertise depends on the topic of the page. For example, high quality news articles and information pages
   on scientific topics should represent established scientific consensus where such consensus exists.

5.0 Highest Quality Pages
Highest quality pages are created to serve a beneficial purpose and achieve their purpose very well. The distinction
between High and Highest is based on the quality and quantity of MC, as well as the level of reputation and E-A-T.
What makes a page Highest quality? In addition to the attributes of a High quality page, a Highest quality page must
have at least one of the following characteristics:
● Very high level of Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T).
● A very satisfying amount of high or highest quality MC.
● Very positive website reputation for a website that is responsible for the MC on the page. Very positive reputation
of the creator of the MC, if different from that of the website.
5.1 Very High Quality MC
We will consider the MC of the page to be very high or highest quality when it is created with a high degree of time and
effort, and in particular, expertise, talent, and skill—this may provide evidence for the E-A-T of the page. Very high quality
MC may be created by experts, hobbyists, or even people with everyday expertise. Our standards depend on the
purpose of the page and the type of content. For YMYL topics, there is a high standard for accuracy and well-established
medical/scientific/historical consensus where such consensus exists.
A factor that often distinguishes very high quality MC is the creation of unique and original content for the specific website.
While what constitutes original content may be very different depending on the type of website, here are some examples:
● For news: very high quality MC is original reporting that provides information that would not otherwise have been
known had the article not revealed it. Original, in-depth, and investigative reporting requires a high degree of skill,
time, and effort. Often very high quality news content will include a description of primary sources and other
original reporting referenced during the content creation process. Very high quality news content must be
accurate and should meet professional journalistic standards.
● For artistic content (videos, images, photography, writing, etc.): very high quality MC is unique and original
content created by highly skilled and talented artists or content creators. Such artistic content requires a high
degree of skill/talent, time, and effort. If the artistic content is related to a YMYL topic (e.g., artistic content with
the purpose of informing or swaying opinion about YMYL topics), YMYL standards should apply.
● For informational content: very high quality MC is original, accurate, comprehensive, clearly communicated,
professionally presented, and should reflect expert consensus as appropriate. Expectations for different types of
information may vary. For example, scientific papers have a different set of standards than information about a
hobby such as stamp collecting. However, all types of very high quality informational content share common
attributes of accuracy, comprehensiveness, and clear communication, in addition to meeting standards
appropriate to the topic or field.
The Highest rating may be justified for pages with a satisfying or comprehensive amount of very high quality MC.
5.2 Very Positive Reputation
Extensive reputation research is important when giving Highest ratings. Very positive reputation is often based on
prestigious awards or recommendations from known experts or professional societies on the topic of the page. Wikipedia
and other informational sources can be a good starting point for reputation research.
For YMYL topics especially, careful checks for reputation are required. YMYL reputation should be based on evidence
from experts, professional societies, awards, etc. For shopping pages, experts could include people who have used the
store’s website to make purchases; whereas for medical advice pages, experts should be people or organizations with
appropriate medical expertise or accreditation. Please review section 2.3 for a summary of types of YMYL pages/topics.
For some topics, such as humor or recipes, less formal expertise is OK. For these topics, popularity, user engagement,
and user reviews can be considered evidence of reputation. For topics that need less formal expertise, websites can be
considered to have a positive reputation if they are highly popular and well-loved for their topic or content type, and are
focused on helping users.
Copyright 2019 26
5.3 Very High Level of E-A-T
Highest quality pages and websites have a very high level of expertise or are highly authoritative or highly trustworthy.
Formal expertise is important for YMYL topics such as medical, financial, or legal advice. Expertise may be less formal
for topics such as recipes or humor. An expert page on cooking may be a page on a professional chef’s website, or it
may be a video from an expert content creator who uploads very high quality cooking videos on YouTube and is one of
the most well-known and popular content creators for recipes in their area of expertise. Please value life experience and
“everyday expertise” as appropriate. For some topics, the most expert sources of information are ordinary people sharing
their life experiences on personal blogs, videos, forums, reviews, discussions, etc.
Think about what expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness mean for the topic of the page. Who are the experts?
What makes a source trustworthy for the topic? What makes a website highly authoritative for the topic? Standards for
very high E-A-T will differ depending on the topic of the page. YMYL topics will require higher standards.

6.0 Low Quality Pages
Low quality pages may have been intended to serve a beneficial purpose. However, Low quality pages do not achieve
their purpose well because they are lacking in an important dimension, such as having an unsatisfying amount of MC, or
because the creator of the MC lacks expertise for the purpose of the page.
If a page has one or more of the following characteristics, the Low rating applies:
● An inadequate level of Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-A-T).
● The quality of the MC is low.
● There is an unsatisfying amount of MC for the purpose of the page.
● The title of the MC is exaggerated or shocking.
● The Ads or SC distracts from the MC.
● There is an unsatisfying amount of website information or information about the creator of the MC for the purpose
of the page (no good reason for anonymity).
● A mildly negative reputation for a website or creator of the MC, based on extensive reputation research.
If a page has multiple Low quality attributes, a rating lower than Low may be appropriate.
6.1 Lacking Expertise, Authoritativeness, or Trustworthiness (E-A-T)
Low quality pages often lack an appropriate level of E-A-T for the purpose of the page. Here are some examples:
● The creator of the MC does not have adequate expertise in the topic of the MC, e.g. a tax form instruction video
made by someone with no clear expertise in tax preparation.
● The website is not an authoritative source for the topic of the page, e.g. tax information on a cooking website.
● The MC is not trustworthy, e.g. a shopping checkout page that has an insecure connection.
Note: Websites with user-generated content span the Page Quality rating spectrum. Please pay careful attention to
websites that allow users to publish content with little oversight, such as social networking pages, video sharing websites,
volunteer-created encyclopedias, article sharing websites, forums, etc. Depending on the topic, pages on these websites
may lack E-A-T.
Important: The Low rating should be used if the page lacks appropriate E-A-T for its purpose.
6.2 Low Quality Main Content
The quality of the MC is an important consideration for PQ rating. We will consider content to be Low quality if it is
created without adequate time, effort, expertise, or talent/skill. Pages with low quality MC do not achieve their purpose
well.
In addition, please examine the title on the page. The title of the page should describe the content.
Exaggerated or shocking titles can entice users to click on pages in search results. If pages do not live up to the
exaggerated or shocking title or images, the experience leaves users feeling surprised and confused. Here is an example
of a page with an exaggerated and shocking title: "Is the World about to End? Mysterious Sightings of 25ft Sea Serpents
Prompt Panic!" as the title for an article about the unidentified remains of one small dead fish on a beach. Pages with
exaggerated or shocking titles that do not describe the MC well should be rated Low.
Important: The Low rating should be used if the page has Low quality MC.

6.3 Unsatisfying Amount of Main Content
Some Low quality pages are unsatisfying because they have a small amount of MC for the purpose of the page. For
example, imagine an encyclopedia article on a very broad topic such as World War II that has just a few paragraphs.
Important: The Low rating should be used if the page has an unsatisfying amount of MC for the purpose of the page.
6.4 Distracting Ads/SC
We expect Ads and SC to be visible. However, some Ads, SC, or interstitial pages (i.e., pages displayed before or after
the content you are expecting) make it difficult to use the MC. Pages with Ads, SC, or other features that distract from or
interrupt the use of the MC should be given a Low rating.
A single pop-over Ad or interstitial page with a clear and easy-to-use close button is not terribly distracting, though may
not be a great user experience. However, difficult-to-close Ads that follow page scrolls, or interstitial pages that require an
app download, can be truly distracting and make the MC difficult to use. You can see examples of interstitial pages here.
The content of the Ads, SC, or other features may be distracting as well: sexually suggestive images such as here,
grotesque images such as here, and porn Ads on non-porn pages should be considered very distracting.
Finally, Ads and SC can be distracting if the titles or images of the Ads or SC are shocking or disturbing. Here is an
example of a page with shocking and exaggerated titles, images, and text in the Ads and SC.
Important: The Low rating should be used if the page has Ads, SC, or other features that interrupt or distract from using
the MC.
6.5 Mixed or Mildly Negative Reputation of the Website or Creator of the Main Content
Extensive reputation research is required for all PQ rating tasks unless you have previously researched the reputation of
the website. Many websites have little reputation information, unfortunately. Of the websites with reputation information,
most websites have a good reputation. Please exercise care when researching the reputation of businesses. Try to find
as many reviews and ratings as possible, and read the details of negative reviews and low ratings before inferring that the
business overall has a negative reputation. A few negative customer service reviews are typical for businesses such as
restaurants.
If the MC was not created by the website, research the reputation of the creator of the MC. While many ordinary people
do not have reputation information available on the Internet, you can find reputation information on well-known YouTubers,
journalists, authors, bloggers and vloggers, professionals such as lawyers and doctors, etc.
Pay attention when there is evidence of mixed or mildly negative—though not malicious or financially
fraudulent—reputation. The Low rating should be used if the website or the creator of the MC has a mildly negative
reputation.
Important: For a YMYL website, a mixed reputation is cause for a Low rating.
Copyright 2019 34
6.6 Unsatisfying Amount of Information about the Website or Creator of the Main Content
We expect some form of website information for many or most websites. We expect clear information about who (e.g.,
what individual, company, business, foundation, etc.) created the MC, unless there is good reason for anonymity. A
long-standing Internet alias or username can also serve the same function as identifying the MC creator. However, the
amount of information needed about the website or creator of the MC depends on the purpose of the page. For personal
websites or non-YMYL forum discussions, an email address or social media link alone may be sufficient.
Stores and websites that process financial transactions require a high level of user trust. If a store or financial transaction
website has just an email address and physical address, it may be difficult to get help if there are issues with the
transaction. Likewise, many other types of YMYL websites also require a high degree of user trust.
Important: For YMYL pages and other pages that require a high level of user trust, an unsatisfying amount of any of the
following is a reason to give a page a Low quality rating: customer service information, contact information, information
about who is responsible for the website or information about who created the content. For other types of websites, use
your judgment.
6.7 Examples of Low Quality Pages
Type of Webpage/Content Low Quality Characteristics PQ Rating and Explanation
Low: News 1
Article about nuclear power
(YMYL)
● Low quality MC
● Lacking E-A-T
The writing of this article is unprofessional,
including many grammar and punctuation
errors. The MC also appears to have been
paraphrased from a science article found on a
different source, but with factual inaccuracies
introduced throughout. The combination of low
quality MC and lack of E-A-T justify the
Lowest+ to Low rating.
Low: News 2
Article titled "Getting Rid Of
Toxins After The Holiday Season"
(YMYL)
● Low quality MC
● Misleading page title
● Lacking E-A-T
The title of the article is misleading and does
not reflect the actual content of the page. The
MC does not explain how to get rid of toxins or
what the word "toxins" in the headline refers to.
The content also has many problems: the
writing quality is poor, and the article includes
meaningless statements such as "water
therapy is one of the easiest ways of beauty
regimen since it will give enough moisture on
the skin". The article fails to cite sources, and
there is no evidence of E-A-T.

● Low quality MC
● Disruptive Ads
This page and website have many of
characteristics of Low quality pages. Close
observation shows MC that contains mostly
commonly known information and poor quality
writing. The MC is broken up by large Ads that
disrupt the user experience.
Low: Informational 2
Q&A unanswered question
● Unsatisfying amount of MC for the

all of their MC. In this case, the MC is the
user’s question. If there are no answers, the
amount of MC on the page is unsatisfying.
Low: Article 1
Article with tips for dressing for
the office
● Low or Lowest quality MC
● Lacking E-A-T
This content has many problems:
inaccurate/meaningless information and
complete lack of editing with poor spelling and
grammar—both of these characteristics in
combination justify the Lowest+ to Low rating.
Low: Article 2
Using ginger for your health
(YMYL)
● Low or Lowest quality MC
● Lacking E-A-T This content has many problems: garbled
information and a lack of editing. Both of these
characteristics in combination justify the
Lowest+ to Low rating. In addition, lacking
E-A-T on this topic is concerning.
Low: Article 3
How to adopt children from Iraq
(YMYL)
● Low quality MC: commonly known
information only
● Lacking E-A-T on a YMYL topic
This is a YMYL topic. However, the steps listed
here are merely commonly-known information
that would be of little benefit to someone
interested in adopting a child from Iraq.
For example, step 1 says “Choose an adoption
agency” and suggests looking in a phone book.
There is almost no information specific to Iraq.
There is no evidence of expertise on adoption
from the description about the author.
Note that some Ads have the same format as
links to other articles on this website, potentially
making it a bit harder for users to visually
distinguish these Ads from the MC and SC.

● Lacking E-A-T on a YMYL topic There is no evidence that the author has
financial expertise. Because this is a YMYL
financial article, lacking expertise is a reason
for a Low rating.

● Lacking E-A-T on a YMYL topic There is no evidence that the author has
medical expertise. Because this is a YMYL
medical article, lacking expertise is a reason for
a Low rating.
Low: Recipes 1
Apple pie recipe
● Low quality and unsatisfying amount of
MC
This page and website have many of
characteristics of Low quality pages. The MC
is low quality and lacks important information.
For example, it gives no indication of how to
make a crust and doesn’t list premade crust as
an ingredient. It would be very difficult to
actually make an apple pie using this recipe.
This page is lacking the kind of helpful content
we expect in recipe pages, such as user
reviews or comments. Without such
information, it’s hard to tell if the recipe is any
good. The small pink text at the top is not
helpful for users.
Low: Recipes 2

● Disruptive Ads in the middle column
This is an example of distracting and disruptive
Ads/SC: there are large Ads in the main column
pushing down the MC as well as highly
distracting content on the right that are labeled
“Top Posts & Pages.” It is unclear whether
these are SC or Ads.
Low: Q&A1

Low: Q&A 2
Page about a 2002 Volvo part

● Misleading Ads
● Unsatisfying amount of MC for the
purpose of the page
Please read the MC (areas with red boxes
around it), including the completely unhelpful
"answer." This answer is so unhelpful, we can
consider this question to be unanswered. This
page has an unsatisfying amount of MC.
In addition to a very unhelpful “answer,” the
page design makes it difficult to distinguish the
MC from Ads. For example, below the answer,
we see a "sponsored answer," which has the
same format as the real answer, but is actually
an Ad and not an answer to the question—this
is misleading to users.
Low: Q&A 3
Page about water and soil
● Misleading Ads/SC
● Unsatisfying amount of MC for the
purpose of the page
This is a page from a Q&A site with an
unanswered question. Q&A pages exist to
answer user questions. Pages with
unanswered questions should generally be
rated Low because they have little MC (just a
question and no answer) and don’t achieve
their purpose well.
In addition to having no answer, this page has
Ads and links to other questions (misleadingly
labeled as “Relevant answers”) displayed
prominently, which users may mistake for
answers to the question. It takes a moment to
notice that this page actually has no answer.
7.0 Lowest Quality Pages
This section describes Lowest quality pages. The examples at the end of this section are critical for understanding these
concepts, so please review them carefully. As a reminder, here are the steps for doing PQ rating.

1. Understand the true purpose of the page. Websites and pages should be created for users in order to serve a
   beneficial purpose, in other words, they should exist to help users.
2. Websites or pages without a beneficial purpose, including pages that are created with no attempt to help users, or
   pages that potentially spread hate, cause harm, or misinform or deceive users, should receive the Lowest rating.
   E-A-T and other page quality characteristics do not play a role for these pages. For example, any page
   attempting to scam users should receive the Lowest rating, whether the scam is created by an expert or not.
3. Otherwise, the PQ rating is based on how well the page achieves its purpose using the criteria outlined in these
   guidelines. Pages that fail to achieve their purpose should receive the Lowest rating.
   Copyright 2019 38
   Here is a summary of what different types of Lowest pages look like:
   Type of Lowest Page What Pages Look Like
   Pages that potentially
   spread hate
   ● Promote hate or violence towards a group of people
   Potentially harmful pages ● Encourage harm to self or others
   ● Malicious pages, e.g., scams, phishing, malware downloads
   ● Extremely negative or malicious reputation
   Pages that potentially
   misinform users
   ● Demonstrably inaccurate content
   ● YMYL content that contradicts well-established expert consensus
   ● Debunked or unsubstantiated conspiracy theories
   Pages that potentially
   deceive users
   ● Deceptive intent, e.g., websites created to deceive users
   ● Deceptive design, e.g., Ads that are disguised as MC
   Lack of purpose pages ● No MC
   ● Gibberish MC
   ● Cannot determine a purpose
   Pages that fail to achieve
   their purpose
   ● Lowest E-A-T
   ● No/little MC or lowest quality MC
   ● Copied MC or auto-generated MC
   ● Obstructed or inaccessible MC
   ● Inadequate information about the website or creator of the MC
   ● Unmaintained websites, and hacked, defaced, or spammed pages
   7.1 Lack of Purpose Pages
   Sometimes it is impossible to figure out the purpose of the page. For example, some pages are either accidentally or
   deliberately created with no MC or gibberish and/or meaningless MC. Some pages fail to achieve their purpose so
   profoundly that the purpose of the page cannot be determined. Such pages serve no real purpose for users.
   No matter how or why they are created, lack of purpose pages should be rated Lowest quality.
   7.2 Pages that Fail to Achieve Their Purpose
   7.2.1 Lowest E-A-T
   One of the most important criteria of PQ rating is E-A-T. Expertise of the creator of the MC, and authoritativeness or
   trustworthiness of the page or website, is extremely important for a page to achieve its purpose well.
   If the E-A-T of a page is low enough, users cannot or should not use the MC of the page. This is especially true of YMYL
   topics. If the page is highly inexpert, unauthoritative or untrustworthy, it fails to achieve its purpose.
   Important: The Lowest rating should be used if the page is highly inexpert, unauthoritative, or untrustworthy.
   7.2.2 No/Little Main Content
   Pages exist to share their MC with users. The following pages should be rated Lowest because they fail to achieve their
   purpose:
   ● Pages with no MC.
   ● Pages with a bare minimum of MC that is unhelpful for the purpose of the page.
   Copyright 2019 39
   7.2.3 Lowest Quality Main Content
   The Lowest rating applies to any page with Lowest Quality MC. Lowest quality MC is content created with such
   insufficient time, effort, expertise, talent, and/or skill that it fails to achieve its purpose. The Lowest rating should also
   apply to pages where users cannot benefit from the MC, for example:
   ● Informational pages with demonstrably inaccurate MC.
   ● The MC is so difficult to read, watch, or use, that it takes great effort to understand and use the page.
   ● Broken functionality of the page due to lack of skill in construction, poor design, or lack of maintenance.
   Have high standards and think about how typical users in your locale would experience the MC on the page. A page may
   have value to the creator or participants in the discussion, but few to no general users who view it would benefit from the
   MC.
   7.2.4 Copied Main Content
   One way to create MC with little to no time, effort, or expertise is to copy it from another source.
   The word “copied” refers to the practice of “scraping” content, or copying content from other non-affiliated websites
   without adding any original content or value to users (see here for more information on copied or scraped content).
   Important: We do not consider legitimately licensed or syndicated content to be “copied” (see here for more on web
   syndication). Examples of syndicated content in the U.S. include news articles by AP or Reuters.
   The Lowest rating is appropriate if all or almost all of the MC on the page is copied with little or no time, effort, expertise,
   manual curation, or added value for users. Such pages should be rated Lowest, even if the page assigns credit for the
   content to another source.
   All of the following are considered copied content:
   ● Content copied exactly from an identifiable source. Sometimes an entire page is copied, and sometimes just
   parts of the page are copied. Sometimes multiple pages are copied and then pasted together into a single page.
   Text that has been copied exactly is usually the easiest type of copied content to identify.
   ● Content that is copied, but changed slightly from the original. This type of copying makes it difficult to find
   the exact matching original source. Sometimes just a few words are changed, or whole sentences are changed,
   or a “find and replace” modification is made, where one word is replaced with another throughout the text. These
   types of changes are deliberately done to make it difficult to find the original source of the content. We call this
   kind of content “copied with minimal alteration.”
   ● Content copied from a changing source, such as a search results page or news feed. You often will not be
   able to find an exact matching original source if it is a copy of “dynamic” content (content that changes frequently).
   However, we will still consider this to be copied content.
   Important: The Lowest rating is appropriate if all or almost all of the MC on the page is copied with little or no time, effort,
   expertise, manual curation, or added value for users. Such pages should be rated Lowest, even if the page assigns
   credit for the content to another source.
   Copyright 2019 40
   7.2.5 How to Determine if Content is Copied
   How do you determine whether all or most of the MC is copied? How do you identify the original source of the content?
   These things can be difficult to determine, but the following steps may help.
4. Copy a sentence or phrase in the text. It may be necessary to try a few sentences or phrases from the page just
   to be sure. When deciding what sentence or phrase to copy, try to find a sentence or series of several words
   without punctuation, unusual characters, or suspicious words that may have replaced the original text.
5. Search on Google by pasting the sentence or phrase (surrounded by quotation marks) inside the Google search
   box. Try a few sentences from the page.
   Here are some sentences and phrases from this page about “The Wizard of Oz” film and how to search for
   them.
   Sentence or Phrase From a Sentence Query to Find the Sentence or Phrase
   A sentence on the page:
   All are convinced by Dorothy that the Wizard can help them
   too
   Try the query both with and without quotation marks around
   the sentence:
   [ “ All are convinced by Dorothy that the Wizard can help
   them too ” ]
   [ All are convinced by Dorothy that the Wizard can help
   them too ]
   A phrase on the page:
   Dorothy uses the Golden Cap to summon the Winged
   Monkeys
   Try the query both with and without quotation marks around
   the sentence:
   [ “ Dorothy uses the Golden Cap to summon the Winged
   Monkeys ” ]
   [ Dorothy uses the Golden Cap to summon the Winged
   Monkeys ]
   A different phrase on the page:
   revealing an old man who had journeyed to Oz from Omaha
   long ago in a hot air balloon
   Try the query both with and without quotation marks around
   the sentence:
   [ “ revealing an old man who had journeyed to Oz from
   Omaha long ago in a hot air balloon ” ]
   [ revealing an old man who had journeyed to Oz from
   Omaha long ago in a hot air balloon ]
6. Compare the pages you find that match the sentence or phrase. Is most of their MC the same? If so, does one
   clearly come from a highly authoritative source that is known for original content creation (newspaper, magazine,
   medical foundation, etc.)? Does one source seem to reasonably be the original? Does one source appear to
   have the earliest publication date, verified by sources like the Wayback Machine?
   Copyright 2019 41
   Use your best judgment. Sometimes it is clear that the content is copied from somewhere, but you cannot tell what the
   original source is. Other times the content found on the original source has changed enough that searches for sentences
   or phrases may no longer match the original source. For example, Wikipedia articles can change dramatically over time.
   Text copied from old copies may not match the current content. If you strongly suspect the page you are evaluating is not
   the original source, consider it likely to be copied.
   We have confirmed that the above text (the text in the sentence and phrases in the table) comes from an older version of
   a Wikipedia article about “The Wizard of Oz,” which can be found using the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Please
   note that searching for the above sentence and phrases will not lead you to a current Wikipedia article about “The Wizard
   of Oz,” which demonstrates how confirming that the MC of a page contains copied content can sometimes be difficult.
   Important: The Lowest rating is appropriate if all or almost all of the MC on the page is copied with little or no time, effort,
   expertise, manual curation, or added value for users. Such pages should be rated Lowest, even if the page assigns
   credit for the content to another source.
   7.2.6 Auto-Generated Main Content
   Another way to create MC with little to no time, effort, or expertise is to create pages (or even entire websites) by
   designing a basic template from which hundreds or thousands of pages are created, sometimes using content from freely
   available sources (such as an RSS feed or API). These pages are created with no or very little time, effort, or expertise,
   and also have no editing or manual curation.
   Pages and websites made up of auto-generated content with no editing or manual curation, and no original content or
   value added for users, should be rated Lowest.
   7.2.7 Obstructed or Inaccessible Main Content
   MC cannot be used if it is obstructed or inaccessible due to Ads, SC, or interstitial pages. If you are not able to access
   the MC, please use the Lowest rating.
   Here are some examples of pages with obstructed MC that should be rated Lowest:
   ● Ads that continue to cover the MC as you scroll down the page, that are virtually impossible to close without
   clicking on the Ad.
   ● An interstitial page that redirects the user away from the MC without offering any path back to the MC.
   7.2.8 Inadequate Information about the Website or Creator of the Main Content
   As discussed in Section 2.5.3, we expect most websites to have some information about who (e.g., what individual,
   company, business, foundation, etc.) is responsible for the website and who created the MC, as well as some contact
   information, unless there is a good reason for anonymity. For websites with YMYL pages, such as online banks, we
   expect to find a lot of information about the site, including extensive customer service information.
   Think about the purpose of the website and the type of website information users would expect or demand.
   YMYL pages with absolutely no information about the website or creator of the MC, or other pages where the available
   information is completely inadequate for the purpose of the website (e.g., an online bank with only an email address),
   should be rated Lowest.
   7.2.9 Unmaintained Websites, and Hacked, Defaced, or Spammed Pages
   Some websites are not maintained or cared for at all by their webmaster. These “abandoned” websites will fail to achieve
   their purpose over time, as content becomes stale or website functionality ceases to work on new browser versions.
   Unmaintained websites should be rated Lowest if they fail to achieve their purpose due to the lack of maintenance.
   Copyright 2019 42
   Unmaintained websites may also become hacked, defaced, or spammed with a large amount of distracting and unhelpful
   content. These pages should also be rated Lowest because they fail to accomplish their original purpose.
   For reference, a hacked or defaced website is a site that has been modified without permission from the website owner(s).
   Responsible webmasters should regularly check their websites for suspicious behavior and take steps to protect users.
   We’ll consider a comment or forum discussion to be “spammed” if there are posts with unrelated comments that are not
   intended to help other users, but rather to advertise a product or create a link to a website. Frequently these comments
   are posted by a “bot” rather than a real person. While a specific page on a website may have a large amount of
   spammed forum discussions or spammed user comments, it does not mean that the entire website contains only spam.
   7.3 Pages that Potentially Spread Hate
   Use the Lowest rating for pages that promote hate or violence against a group of people, including but not limited to those
   grouped on the basis of race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender
   or gender identity. Websites advocating hate or violence can cause real world harm.
   Hate may be expressed in inflammatory, emotional, or hateful-sounding language, but may also be expressed in polite or
   even academic-sounding language.
   Extensive reputation research is important for identifying websites that promote hate or violence. Please identify
   reputable and well-established organizations that provide information about hate groups in your locale when researching
   reputation. Some websites may not have reputation information available. In this case, please use your judgment based
   on the MC of the page and knowledge of your locale.
   7.4 Potentially Harmful Pages
   7.4.1 Encourage Harm
   Use the Lowest rating for pages that encourage or incite harm. Harm includes mental, physical, or emotional harm to self
   or others. For example:
   ● User discussions that attempt to justify sexual abuse of children.
   ● How-to or step-by-step information on how to commit acts of terrorism or violent extremism.
   ● Depictions of extreme gore or violence, without a beneficial purpose.
   ● Suicide promotion or pro-anorexia webpages that encourage users to engage in behavior that can result in
   hospitalization or death.
   ● Pages with scary death threats or other realistic-sounding threatening language.
   7.4.2 Malicious Pages
   Malicious pages are created with harmful intent or created to benefit the website or other organization at the cost of the
   user. Use the Lowest rating for any harmful or malicious page, including the following:
   ● Pages or websites that you strongly suspect are scams (see these links for more information about Internet
   scams: Avoid Scams 1, Avoid Scams 2, Internet Fraud).
   ● Pages that ask for personal information without a legitimate reason (for example, pages that ask for name,
   birthdate, address, bank account, government ID number, etc.).
   ● Pages that “phish” for passwords to Facebook, Gmail, or other popular online services. See here for information
   about “phishing” fraud.
   ● Pages with suspicious links, including malware download links or other types of links that are detrimental to users.
   Copyright 2019 43
   If you suspect a link is malicious, please do not click on it. You do not need to personally experience a malicious
   download in order to confirm that a website is harmful. Likewise, if you feel strongly that a website is a scam, you do not
   need to engage with it to get proof.
   Use the Lowest rating if you suspect a page is malicious, even if you’re not able to completely confirm that the page is
   harmful. Please exercise caution and practice good Internet safety skills.
   7.4.3 Negative or Malicious Reputation
   Use the Lowest rating if the website and the creators of the MC have a negative or malicious reputation. Here are some
   examples originally shown in Section 2.6.4. All pages on these websites should be rated Lowest because of the negative
   or malicious reputation of these websites.
   Website Description
   Site selling children’s jungle gym
   Negative reputation information : This business has a BBB rating of F. There is a news article
   about financial fraud. There are many reviews on websites describing how users sent money
   and did not receive anything in return.
   Site selling products related to
   eyewear
   Negative/malicious reputation information : This website engaged in criminal behavior such as
   physically threatening users.
   Organization serving the
   hospitalized veteran community
   Negative reputation information : There are many detailed negative articles on news sites and
   charity watchdog sites describing fraud and financial mishandling about this organization.
   7.5 Pages that Potentially Misinform Users
   The purpose of an informational page is to communicate accurate information. Assume an informational purpose for
   pages that look as though they are informational or pages that many users go to for information, even if it is not an official
   news source or an official encyclopedia article. This includes pages that appear to be news, social profile pages
   spreading news or information, forum discussions about informational topics such as current events, videos which cover
   news topics, etc.
   The Lowest rating must be used for any of the following types of content on pages that could appear to be informational:
   ● Demonstrably inaccurate content.
   ● YMYL content that contradicts well-established expert consensus.
   ● Debunked or unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.
   Lowest should also be used under these circumstances:
   ● The content creator may believe that the conspiracy theory or demonstrably inaccurate content is correct, or it is
   unclear whether they do.
   ● The content creators may be deliberately attempting to misinform users.
   ● The content creators describe, repeat or spread conspiracy theories or demonstrably inaccurate content without a
   clear effort to debunk or correct it, regardless of whether the creators believe it to be true. For example, content
   creators may produce this content in order to make money or gain attention.
   Some examples of information that would be found on Lowest quality pages include: the moon landings were faked,
   carrots cure cancer, and the U.S. government is controlled by lizard people. While some of these topics may seem funny,
   there have been real world consequences from people believing these kinds of internet conspiracy theories and
   misinformation.
   Copyright 2019 44
   Find high quality, trustworthy sources to check accuracy and the consensus of experts if you are unsure about a topic. Be
   especially careful with YMYL topics such as medical, scientific, financial, historical, or current events that are necessary
   for maintaining an informed citizenry.
   Please research conspiracy theories. Fact-checking websites cannot keep up with the volume of conspiracy theories
   produced by the Internet. Some conspiracy theories are impossible to debunk because they claim all debunking
   information is inaccurate. If a claim or conspiracy theory seems wildly improbable and cannot be verified by independent
   trustworthy sources, consider it unsubstantiated.
   7.6 Pages that Potentially Deceive Users
   We will consider a page to be “deceptive” if it may deceive users or trick search engines. All deceptive pages should be
   rated Lowest.
   The following sections describe characteristics of deceptive pages. However, no list of deceptive characteristics will be
   complete—deceptive websites continue to evolve as users and search engines figure out how they are being tricked.
   With practice, you will be able to identify deceptive pages accurately.
   7.6.1 Deceptive Page Purpose
   Some pages are deliberately created to deceive users, for example:
   ● A webpage or website that impersonates a different site (e.g., copied logo or branding of an unaffiliated site, URL
   that mimics another site's name, etc.).
   ● A non-satirical social network profile made by an impersonator.
   ● A webpage or website that looks like a news source or information page, but in fact has articles to manipulate
   users in order to benefit a person, business, government, or other organization politically, monetarily, or otherwise.
   ● A webpage claims to offer an independent review or share other information about a product, but is in fact created
   to make money for the owner of the website without attempting to help users. For example, the MC may contain
   intentionally misleading or inaccurate information created with the sole purpose of getting users to click on
   monetized links or buy the product.
   ● A website claims to be the personal website of a celebrity, but the website is actually created to make money for
   the owner of the website without the permission of the celebrity. For example, the page may have false
   testimonials for a product and is created for the sole purpose of getting users to click on monetized links or buy
   the product.
   ● A webpage with a misleading title or a title that has nothing to do with the content on the page. Users who come
   to the page expecting content related to the title will feel tricked or deceived.
   ● A webpage or website with deceptive website information. For example, the website may misrepresent who owns
   the site, what the website purpose really is, how the content was created, how to contact the site, etc.
   Any page or website that may deceive or trick users should be rated Lowest, regardless of intent. Use the Lowest rating
   even if you cannot see a reason for the deception or even if you think most users wouldn’t “fall” for the trick.
   You should also use the Lowest rating if you suspect a page is deceptive, even if you’re not able to completely confirm it.
   Please exercise caution and practice good Internet safety skills since deceptive pages may be malicious.
   7.6.2 Deceptive Page Design
   Some pages are deliberately designed to manipulate users to take an action that will benefit the owner of the website
   rather than help the user.
   Copyright 2019 45
   Here are some common types of deceptively designed pages:
   ● Pages that disguise Ads as MC. Actual MC may be minimal or created to encourage users to click on the Ads.
   For example, fake search pages (example) that have a list of links that look like a page of search results. If you
   click on a few of the links, you will see that the page is just a collection of Ads disguised as search engine results.
   A “search box” is present, but submitting a new query just gives you a different page of Ads disguised as search
   results.
   ● Pages that disguise Ads as website navigation links. For example, fake directory pages (example) that look
   like a personally curated set of helpful links, possibly with unique descriptions. In reality, the links are Ads or links
   to other similar pages on the site. Sometimes the descriptions of the links are unrelated to the page.
   ● Pages where the MC is not usable or visible. For example, a page that has such a large amount of Ads at the
   top of the page (before the MC), so that most users will not see the MC, or a page where the MC is invisible text.
   ● Any page designed to trick users into clicking on links, which may be Ads or other links intended to serve the
   needs of the website rather than to the benefit of the user.
   Take a good look at the page and use your judgment. If you believe the page was deliberately created to manipulate
   users to click on Ads, monetized links, questionable download links, etc., rather than help users, the page should be rated
   Lowest.

   7.7 Examples of Lowest Quality Pages
   Type of Webpage/Content Lowest Quality Characteristics PQ Rating and Explanation
   Lowest: Deceptive page purpose
   and design – News website
   (YMYL)
   ● Harmful purpose
   ● Deceptive design: impersonates a
   different website
   ● Lowest quality MC: demonstrably
   inaccurate content
   This page is deceptively designed to make
   users believe they are on the official ABC News
   website. The official ABC logo is copied and
   used prominently throughout the page, and the
   URL of this website (abcnews.com.co/) is
   very similar to the official site's URL
   (abcnews.go.com/).
   The articles on this website include
   demonstrably inaccurate content, such as an
   inaccurate news report that Obama banned the
   Pledge of Allegiance .
   The deceptive website design and inaccurate
   content can misinform users. This website was
   created with a harmful purpose.
   Lowest: Potentially misinform
   users – Unsubstantiated
   conspiracy theories (YMYL)
   ● Presents unsubstantiated conspiracy
   theories as if the information were factual
   ● Lowest quality MC: unsubstantiated
   conspiracy theory
   The MC on this page contains factually
   unsupported theories related to the Vatican's
   knowledge of the planet Nibiru, the existence of
   aliens, and upcoming world events. Although
   various Vatican officials and scientists are
   quoted in the article, the quotations do not
   support the article's claims, and in some cases
   do not seem to come from the person quoted.
   The Nibiru cataclysm and related events have
   also been thoroughly debunked by authoritative
   sources ( Reference 1 , Reference 2 ). The
   demonstrably inaccurate content on this page
   can misinform users.
   Lowest: Potentially misinform
   users – Unsubstantiated
   conspiracy theory video (YMYL)
   ● Presents unsubstantiated conspiracy
   theories as if the information were factual
   ● Lowest quality MC: unsubstantiated
   conspiracy theory
   This video describes the unsubstantiated and
   outlandish conspiracy theory that shape-shifting
   lizard people interbred with humans and are
   now running the world via government,
   monetary, and religious organizations.
   The video has high production quality, and
   some viewers may find it funny or entertaining.
   However, the video could appear to be
   informational and should be rated Lowest.
   Copyright 2019 47
   Type of Webpage/Content Lowest Quality Characteristics PQ Rating and Explanation
   Lowest: Promotes hate or
   violence – Hate organization
   homepage (YMYL)
   ● Promotes hate or violence towards a
   group of people
   The Stormfront website promotes white
   supremacist ideology and is considered to be a
   hate site/group by many organizations and
   articles, including: Anti-Defamation League ,
   Fox News article , USA Today article , Pew
   Research Center , etc.
   Lowest: Deceptive page purpose
   – Social media profile (YMYL)
   ● Deceptive purpose: non-satirical page
   made by an impersonator
   This Twitter profile page (username TEN_GOP)
   was created to impersonate the Tennessee
   Republican Party (username TNGOP). For
   more information, see this article: Fake
   Tennessee GOP Twitter account highlighted in
   indictment of 13 Russians .
   Lowest: Demonstrably inaccurate
   content – Social media profile
   ● Harmful purpose
   ● Lowest quality MC: demonstrably
   inaccurate content
   At the time this example was written, Betty
   White was alive. This profile page on a social
   media website leads users to believe she is
   dead. Comments on the page indicate that
   some users have realized that it is inaccurate.
   If the page were truly created in error, these
   comments should have led the creator to
   realize the mistake and delete the page.
   While it is not clear why this type of page was
   created in the first place, it appears to be a
   deliberate intent to misinform users, which is a
   harmful purpose.
   Lowest: Demonstrably inaccurate
   content – News article
   ● Harmful purpose
   ● Deceptive page design
   ● Lowest quality MC: demonstrably
   inaccurate content
   ● An unsatisfying amount of information
   about the website and author
   This news article is demonstrably inaccurate.
   The event described here (the death of Miley
   Cyrus) did not happen. Note that no date is
   given, no sources are cited, and there is no
   author. This website is designed to look like a
   news source, but there is no information on the
   news organization that created the website or
   its content. The SC also features distracting
   pictures and outrageously titled links.
   This page was created to misinform users,
   which is a harmful purpose.
   Copyright 2019 48
   Type of Webpage/Content Lowest Quality Characteristics PQ Rating and Explanation
   Lowest: Keyword Stuffing –Forum
   page: Watch RoboCop online
   ● Lowest quality MC: large amount of
   “Keyword Stuffed” MC
   This is an example of a spammed forum page,
   where the goal is to try and get users to watch
   a movie online, which has nothing to do with
   the purpose of the site. For a forum page, the
   user comments are the MC, and much of the
   content is not helpful for users. Here is an
   example of some of the “keyword stuffing” on
   this page that is not meant to be read by a
   human, found near the bottom of the page.
   Lowest: Copied content – Wizard
   of Oz
   ● Lowest quality MC: copied content with
   little or no time, effort, expertise, manual
   curation, or added value for users
   ● No evidence of E-A-T
   All MC is a copy of an old Wikipedia article,
   which you can see here by researching it on
   the Internet Archive Wayback Machine .
   The current Wikipedia page offers much more
   content, links, references, etc. This page
   doesn’t add much value for users.
   Lowest: Unsatisfying amount of
   MC – Wedding dresses
   ● An unsatisfying amount of MC for the
   topic of the page
   ● Very low quality MC
   ● No evidence of E-A-T
   ● True purpose of the page and website is
   questionable
   This page has so many low quality
   characteristics that the Lowest+ rating is
   appropriate. There is a question about what
   the true purpose of the page is—Lowest is
   appropriate if you feel this page was created
   with little attempt to help users.
   Lowest: Malicious, harmful, or
   deceptive – Asks for personal
   information (YMYL)
   ● Malicious, harmful, or deceptive This is a shopping checkout page, but it asks
   for the user’s government ID number, driver’s
   license number, ATM pin number, bank account
   information, etc.
   Lowest: Auto-generated with Little
   Attempt to Help Users – Engine
   Code (YMYL)
   ● Auto-generated MC, created with little to
   no time, effort, expertise, manual
   curation, or added value for users
   ● No evidence of E-A-T
   The first sentence is incomplete, and doesn’t
   provide an explanation for the code, and
   therefore fails the purpose of the page. Other
   pages on the website have inaccurate,
   misleading, and/or incomplete information. In
   fact, some pages seem borderline gibberish,
   with contradicting information. It appears the
   page exists only to make money, with no
   attempt to help users.
   Copyright 2019 49
   Type of Webpage/Content Lowest Quality Characteristics PQ Rating and Explanation
   Lowest: Fraudulent – Charity
   (YMYL)
   ● Extremely negative or malicious
   reputation There are many claims of fraud and financial
   problems about this organization on reputable
   news sites and charity watchdog sites:
   Negative review 1 , Negative review 2 , Negative
   review 3 , and Negative review 4 .
   Lowest: No website information –
   About dry sockets (YMYL)
   ● No website information for YMYL website
   ● No evidence of E-A-T
   There is no information about who created this
   website, no contact information, and no
   authorship information.
   Medical pages require a high degree of user
   trust. Because there is no information about
   who owns this website and who created this
   content, we will consider this an untrustworthy
   website.
   Lowest: Fake directory page -
   Mesothelioma (YMYL)
   ● Deceptive purpose (fake directory page)
   ● No website information for YMYL topic
   ● No evidence of E-A-T
   The links on the page appear to link to helpful
   articles, but in fact the links are Ads that do not
   go to articles. This is a YMYL topic, but there is
   no indication about who is responsible for this
   content or website.
   Lowest: Fake search page –
   Chicken recipes ● Deceptive purpose (fake search page) Advertising should never disguise itself as the
   MC of the page. Pages with Ads that are
   designed to look like MC should be considered
   deceptive.
   Lowest: Fake search page –
   Chairs ● Deceptive purpose (fake search page)
   This page was created to make money from
   clicks on Ads rather than to help users.
   Lowest: Deceptive purpose –
   Viagra (YMYL)
   ● Lowest quality MC (copied content with
   little or no time, effort, expertise, manual
   curation, or added value for users)
   ● No website information for YMYL website
   ● No evidence of E-A-T
   This looks like an information website for a
   drug. The real purpose of this page is to get
   users to this website, and then get them to click
   on the “order now” link, which takes users to
   another website.
   All MC on this page is copied with little or no
   time, effort, expertise, manual curation, or
   added value for users. Here is the original
   source .

   Type of Webpage/Content Lowest Quality Characteristics PQ Rating and Explanation
   Lowest: Deceptive page purpose
   and design – Washing machine
   reviews (YMYL)
   ● Purpose of the page to make money with
   very little or no attempt to help users
   ● Lowest quality MC (copied content with
   little or no time, effort, expertise, manual
   curation, or added value for users)
   This page is titled “Washing Machine Reviews,”
   but there are no reviews on the page and the
   content is copied from another website. The
   links all go to a single Internet retailer selling
   washing machines. This is a deceptive page
   because it is designed to get users to click on
   the prominent links.
   Lowest: Deceptive page purpose
   – Fake survey page
   ● Deceptive purpose
   ● Highly untrustworthy
   This page contains a fake survey, which
   appears to promise users the opportunity to win
   an Apple MacBook Air, an iPhone 5c, or a
   Galaxy S4. However, after completing some
   survey questions and selecting the product the
   user would like to win, the user is redirected to
   website after website to complete more and
   more survey questions, while being asked to
   supply more and more personal information,
   including medical information and bank account
   information.
   There is no information about who is
   responsible, even though this website asks for
   highly personal information such as bank
   account numbers. Despite appearances, there
   is no affiliation with Google.
   Lowest: Deceptive page design –
   Javascript alert box ● Deceptive or misleading page design
   Some users might not even notice the MC
   because it is under a long list of Ads. Users
   may mistake the Ads for MC.
   Lowest: Deceptive page purpose
   – Rachael Ray diet blog (YMYL) ● Deceptive purpose and deceptive content
   The title of this page is “Rachael Ray Diet
   Blog,” but the page has nothing to do with
   Rachael Ray or her diet or her products. This
   page exists to sell products using Rachael
   Ray’s name and image. In fact, there is a
   brown-text-on-brown-background section at the
   bottom of the page (which we consider to be
   hidden text) that says “Disclaimer: Rachael Ray
   is not affiliated with nor does she sponsor or
   endorse this blog.” This page is deceptive in
   spite of the disclaimer!
   This example has been annotated with red text
   at the top to point out deceptive aspects of this
   page.

   ● Very negative, malicious,
   or financially fraudulent reputation
   This website took users’ money and physically

   describe the deceptive techniques used by this
   website and provide other negative information
   about the website and its owner.

   reason to exist.
   Lowest: Lack of purpose – Free

   Lowest: Highly untrustworthy –
   Download page
   ● Highly untrustworthy (suspect download)
   This is a download website with only one page
   – this page. There is a lot of text (with
   grammar and spelling errors) promising that
   users will make money from this free download.
   The purpose of the page seems to be to entice
   users into clicking on the links with the promise
   of making money.
   Remember that you are not required to click on
   any links that are suspicious.
   Lowest: Deliberately created with
   no MC
   ● Large amount of prominent Ads and no
   attempt to help users
   This is an example of a page with no MC. You
   might think that the MC is “missing” due to a
   problem with this particular page, but in fact,
   this website has hundreds of pages that look
   the same way—no MC, just Ads. This website
   shows Ads with little or no attempt to help
   users, and should be rated Lowest quality.
   Lowest: Low quality MC – Article
   about popping pimples (YMYL)
   ● Lowest quality MC
   ● No evidence of E-A-T
   This content has many problems: poor
   grammar, and sentences that are meaningless
   or state something obvious. For example:
   "Popping pimples could be or could be not the
   new trend of getting rid of them." In addition,
   the “About the Author” section of the page has
   an Ad, but no information about the author.
   Lowest: Low quality MC – Article
   about getting a mortgage in Texas
   (YMYL)
   ● Lowest quality MC
   ● No evidence of E-A-T The level of expertise of the author of this
   content is not clearly communicated. Providing
   this background information is particularly
   important for medical, financial, or other YMYL
   topics for which expertise is needed.
   Lowest: YMYL page with
   inaccurate information – Chest
   pains and smoking (YMYL)
   ● YMYL page with inaccurate potentially
   dangerous medical advice
   ● Lowest quality MC
   We must evaluate this page from the point of
   view of a user visiting this page from a search
   engine, rather than a participant. The question
   is poorly worded and difficult to understand.
   The answers are poorly worded and have
   incorrect and potentially dangerous medical
   advice. The MC is low quality.

   ● Inaccurate or misleading
   This page gives loan advice that can be
   potentially damaging, for example, instructing
   people not to pay back their loans. The article
   has grammar and spelling errors, and the page
   is highly untrustworthy.
   Lowest: Potentially untrustworthy
   shopping page with insufficient

   ● Completely inadequate or untrustworthy
   customer service information for a
   shopping website
   ● No evidence of E-A-T
   ● Inaccurate or misleading
   This page is selling Nike Air Jordan shoes.
   When you look at the “Contact Us” page , it
   does not give the name of a company or a
   physical address, which also cannot be found
   anywhere else on the website. This amount of
   contact information is not sufficient for a
   shopping website.
   In addition, the “Shipping and Returns” page
   has the name of another company that seems
   to be unrelated. There are also official looking
   logos at the bottom of the homepage, including
   the Better Business Bureau logo and Google
   Checkout logo, that don’t appear to be
   affiliated with the website.
   8.0 Medium Quality Pages
   In this section, we will describe pages that should get the Medium quality rating. Medium pages have a beneficial
   purpose and achieve their purpose.
   There are two types of Medium quality pages:
   Type of Medium Page Discussion
   Nothing wrong, but nothing
   special
   The page achieves its purpose, however, it does not merit a High quality rating, nor is there
   anything to indicate that a Low quality rating is appropriate.
   Mixed with strong High quality
   rating characteristics
   The page or website has strong High quality rating characteristics, but also has mild Low quality
   characteristics. The strong High quality aspects make it difficult to rate the page Low .

   “Custom 404” page
   ● Nothing wrong, but nothing special
   This is an example of a “custom 404” page.
   These pages are designed to alert users that
   the URL they are trying to visit no longer exists.
   Some websites do a nice job of not only
   alerting users about a problem, but also giving
   them help.
   This page is on a well-known merchant website
   with a good reputation. However, this particular
   page displays the bare minimum of content
   needed to explain the problem to users, and
   the only help offered is a link to the homepage.
   Medium: Informational
   Page about propulsion on the
   “Quality Reasoning Group”
   section of a university’s website
   ● Mixed, but has some E-A-T

   trustworthy because of the website,
   though no reference links are provided
   Although this is a well-known, highly-respected
   university with a high quality site, this page is
   on a very specialized section of the university

   Medium: Forum 1
   Forum page on an online auction
   website. A user is looking for
   help choosing a product category.
   ● Mixed, but with some redeeming qualities
   The relative lack of MC is balanced a bit by the
   expertise of this forum. This forum is dedicated
   to this kind of question.
   Medium: Forum 2
   Forum page on a dance website.
   A user is looking for advice on
   how to wash ballet shoes.
   ● Mixed, but with some redeeming qualities
   This forum is about dance topics, and many
   pages have expertise from a community of
   ballet dancers. On this particular page,
   participants have everyday experience washing
   ballet shoes and make recommendations
   based on their own experiences.
   This page is “mixed” because there is some
   distracting content that makes it hard to read
   the MC. However, this is not a beauty contest!
   Even though the page may be cluttered, there
   is some valuable everyday expertise and
   helpful MC, making Medium a good rating for
   this page.
   9.0 Page Quality Rating Tasks
   At first, PQ rating may seem difficult. There are several aspects of the page and the website to look at and think about.
   This type of rating takes practice. Rereading sections of these guidelines and thinking about the examples may help
   when you encounter difficult rating tasks.
   Important: Do not struggle with each PQ rating. Please give your best rating and move on. If you are having trouble
   deciding between two ratings, use the lower rating. If you are torn between three ratings, choose the one in the middle.
   Do not consider the country or location of the page or website for PQ rating. For example, English (US) raters should use
   the same PQ standards when rating pages from other English language websites (UK websites, Canadian websites, etc.)
   as they use when rating pages from U.S. websites. In other words, English (US) raters should not lower the PQ rating
   because the page location (UK, Canada) does not match the task location.
   These guidelines are specific to “regular” webpages. Occasionally, you may be asked to rate a landing page that is not a
   webpage. For example, you may be asked to rate a PDF file, a PNG or JPEG image file, etc. When the landing page of
   the URL is not a webpage, some of the criteria in these guidelines may not apply. In this case, please use your judgment.
   Finally, this Page Quality Rating Guideline does not completely cover every aspect of page quality. If you find pages that
   you truly believe to be High or Low quality, please rate them as such, even if the reason is based on something not
   covered in this document. Please use the comment section to explain your reasoning. As always, use your judgment.

   9.1 Instructions for Rating Page Quality Tasks
   The Page Quality task page is broken up into several parts:
7. Some initial questions about the task landing page.
8. A “PQ grid” to record your observations about PQ characteristics of the landing page.
9. The Overall PQ rating slider which records your Overall PQ rating.
10. A comment box to explain your rating.
    Some results to the initial questions will end the task early. If the page is Porn, Foreign Language, or Did Not Load, you
    will not fill in the PQ grid or assign an overall rating.
    ● Foreign Language should be used when the language on the landing page is NOT the task language, a language
    that is commonly used by a significant percentage of the population in the task location, or English.
    ● Did Not Load should be used for pages where there is absolutely no content on the page created by the website.
    There is no MC, SC, or Ads on the page. See this Wikipedia article for descriptions of different types of error
    messages.
    Similarly, if you respond that the page is malicious, harmful, deceptive, or lacking in purpose, you will also not fill in the PQ
    grid or assign an overall rating.
    The PQ grid is designed to be your "note pad." It allows you to record your observations about the landing page and the
    website it belongs to.
    9.1.1 Rating on Your Phone
    You should open the task landing page on your phone using the standard Send to Device feature, unless otherwise
    instructed. However, more intensive analysis on the website can be done on your computer. For example, you should
    open and explore the links that are provided to help you do research on website information and reputation on your
    computer.
    Important: Clicking on the task URL may bring up an interstitial page. You can ignore this page in your rating criteria if
    you can easily get to the MC. However, if the interstitial page makes it extremely hard (or impossible) to get to the MC,
    that should factor into your Page Quality rating.
    9.2 Reputation and E-A-T: Website or the Creators of the Main Content?
    You must consider the reputation and E-A-T of both the website and the creators of the MC in order to assign a Page
    Quality rating.
    The reputation and E-A-T of the creators of the MC is extremely important when a website has different authors or content
    creators on different pages. This is true of forum and Q&A pages, news websites, or websites that have user-generated
    content, such as YouTube, Twitter, etc. The reputation and E-A-T assessment for pages on these types of websites may
    differ drastically depending on what page you are evaluating. There are Highest quality YouTube videos created by
    highly reputable and expert content creators, as well as Lowest quality YouTube videos created with a dangerous lack of
    E-A-T on YMYL topics.
    Important: Research the reputation and E-A-T of both the website and the creators of the MC. If either are lacking for
    the purpose of the page, the Low or Lowest rating is appropriate.

    10.0 Page Quality Criteria for Specific Types of Pages
    10.1 Ratings for Encyclopedia Pages
    There are many encyclopedia-type websites. Some are highly-respected publications that are standard references, while
    some are websites with content created and edited by anonymous users, with no editorial oversight or fact checking. We
    may not always know the author of the specific encyclopedia article, and therefore must rely on website reputation
    research to determine the E-A-T of the article. High and Highest quality ratings should only be used for encyclopedias
    with very good reputations for accuracy and expertise, where the article itself is well-researched with appropriate
    references cited.
    A note about Wikipedia: in general, the website has a good reputation and is a very popular resource that is generally
    valued for accuracy. However, there is no single author or organization that vouches for the accuracy of Wikipedia
    articles, and the quality of pages varies. You should perform page-level checks on individual articles.
    A Wikipedia article on a non-YMYL topic (example) with a satisfying amount of accurate information and trustworthy
    external references can usually be rated in the High range. Some Wikipedia articles may even be rated higher, although
    remember that a high level of expertise is required for YMYL topics. A PQ rating in the Medium range is often appropriate
    for pages with less extensive MC and external references. Naturally, Wikipedia articles with very little MC should get
    lower PQ ratings. Factual inaccuracy is a sufficient reason for a Low or Lowest rating.
    10.2 Ratings for Pages with Error Messages or No MC
    Some pages are temporarily broken pages on otherwise functioning websites, while some pages have an explicit error (or
    custom 404) message. In some cases, pages are missing MC as well. Please think about whether the page offers help
    for users—did the webmaster spend time, effort, and care on the page?
    Here are some examples.
    Webpage/Type of Content Characteristics of the Page PQ Rating and Explanation
    Deliberately created with no MC ● Large amount of prominent Ads and no
    attempt to help users
    This is an example of a page with no MC. You
    might think that the MC is “missing” due to a
    problem with this particular page, but in fact,
    this website has hundreds of pages that look
    the same—no MC, just Ads. This website
    shows Ads with little or no attempt to help
    users, and should be rated Lowest quality.
    Page didn't fully load and has no
    MC
    ● No MC (probably due to a temporary
    technical error)
    ● Sufficient SC
    ● Positive reputation
    This page has no MC and no error message. It
    is an isolated example of a page with no MC or
    error message on a website for a reputable
    newspaper for a town in Michigan. All of the
    navigation links work, and the page was later
    fixed.

    Webpage/Type of Content Characteristics of the Page PQ Rating and Explanation
    Error page with custom 404
    message 1 ● Nothing wrong, but nothing special
    This is an example of a “custom 404” page,
    alerting users that the URL they are trying to
    visit no longer exists. Some websites do a nice
    job of alerting users about a problem and
    providing helpful tips.
    This page is on a well-known merchant website
    with a good reputation. However, this particular
    page displays the bare minimum of content
    needed to explain the problem to users, and
    the only helpful content is a link to the
    homepage.
    Error page with custom 404
    message 2
    ● A satisfying amount of high quality MC for
    its purpose
    ● Helpful SC that improves the user
    experience
    ● Positive reputation
    This is an example of a “custom 404” page,
    alerting users that the URL they are trying to
    visit no longer exists. This website does a nice
    job of explaining the issue and providing helpful
    tips, including a search box.
    Error page with custom 404
    message 3
    ● A satisfying amount of high quality MC for
    its purpose
    ● Helpful SC that improves the user
    experience
    ● Very positive reputation
    This is an example of a “custom 404” page.
    These pages are designed to alert users that
    the URL they are trying to visit no longer exists.
    The MC of this page is the cartoon, the caption,
    and the search functionality, which is specific to
    the content of the website. It is clear that time,
    effort, and talent was involved in the creation of
    the MC.
    This publication has a very positive reputation
    and is specifically known for its cartoons, which
    allows us to go as high as High+ to Highest.
    10.3 Ratings for Forums and Q&A pages
    Ratings for forum and Q&A pages can be challenging. The most important aspect is the E-A-T of the participants in the
    discussion, which can be difficult to judge. Keep in mind the following:
    ● The Main Content on forum and Q&A pages includes both the question as well as the answers/responses and
    resulting discussions.
    ● Rate forum and Q&A pages from the point of view of a user who visits the page, rather than a participant involved
    in the discussion.
    Copyright 2019 60
    Here are some examples.
    Webpage/Type of Content Characteristics of the Page PQ Rating and Explanation
    Q&A page about chest pains and
    smoking (YMYL) ● YMYL page with inaccurate potentially
    dangerous medical advice
    We must evaluate this page from the point of
    view of a user visiting this page from a search
    engine, rather than a participant. The question
    is poorly worded and difficult to understand.
    The answers are poorly worded and have
    incorrect and potentially dangerous medical
    advice, making it lowest quality MC.
    Q&A page with unanswered
    question
    ● Misleading page design
    ● Unsatisfying amount of MC for the
    purpose of the page
    In addition to having no answer, this page has
    Ads and links to other questions (misleadingly
    labeled as “Relevant answers”) displayed
    prominently, which users may mistake for
    answers to the question. It takes a moment to
    notice that this page actually has no answer.
    Deceptive design and lack of an answer make
    this page a frustratingly poor user experience
    and cause this page to completely fail to
    achieve its purpose.
    Q&A page about a 2002 Volvo
    part (YMYL)
    ● Misleading page design
    ● Unsatisfying amount of MC for the
    purpose of the page
    In this example, the MC is boxed in red.
    Please read the MC, including the completely
    unhelpful "answer" to the question in the red
    box. This answer is so unhelpful, we can
    consider this question to be unanswered. This
    page has an unsatisfying amount of MC.
    In addition to a very unhelpful “answer,” the
    page design makes it difficult to distinguish the
    MC from Ads. For example, below the answer,
    we see a "sponsored answer," which has the
    same format as the real answer, but is actually
    an Ad and not an answer to the question. This
    page design is somewhat misleading.
    Q&A page about a game console
    issue
    ● Unsatisfying amount of MC for the
    purpose of the page Some websites rely on users to create virtually
    all of their MC. In this case, the MC is the
    user’s question. If there are no answers, the
    amount of MC on the page is unsatisfying.
    Copyright 2019 61
    Webpage/Type of Content Characteristics of the Page PQ Rating and Explanation
    Q&A page about Native American
    customs (YMYL)
    ● Lacking E-A-T for the purpose of the
    page There are 94 answers to this question with a
    few results that seem helpful. Many of the
    posts are wrong or misleading, including the
    top answer, which is labeled the “best answer.”
    Forum page on how to wash
    ballet shoes ● Mixed, but with some redeeming qualities
    This forum is about dance topics, and many
    pages have expertise from a community of
    ballet dancers. On this particular page,
    participants have everyday experience washing
    ballet shoes and make recommendations
    based on their own experiences.
    This page is “mixed” because there is some
    distracting content that makes it hard to read
    the MC. However, this is not a beauty contest!
    Even though the page may be cluttered, there
    is some valuable everyday expertise and
    helpful MC, making Medium a good rating for
    this page.
    Q&A page about whether a
    Roomba will work
    ● Everyday expertise for the purpose of the
    page
    Many participants share their personal
    experiences with these products, giving details
    such as how well certain models work with pet
    hair. There are many descriptions of
    participants’ own experiences with this product
    and how well it works for them.
    Q&A page about interviewing at
    Build-A-Bear (YMYL)
    ● Everyday expertise for the purpose of the
    page
    The answer on this page is written by an
    employee of Build-A-Bear, so it offers a
    somewhat unique and presumably somewhat
    expert answer.
    The page design allows users to read the MC
    as the Ads are clearly labeled, as well as both
    the question and answer.
    Forum post on the magic loop
    technique in knitting
    ● High level of E-A-T for the topic and
    purpose of the page
    The person who posted the first message on
    this forum page provides a helpful resource on
    how to master the magic loop technique in
    knitting. She also shares pictures of her own
    version using an old pair of blue jeans. With
    over 20 years of experience knitting socks, we
    would consider her to be an expert on the topic.

    Q&A page about how long most
    cancer patients live (YMYL)
    ● Everyday expertise
    ● A satisfying amount of high quality MC
    The question on the page asks how long
    people live with cancer. There are many
    results describing how long a loved one lived
    after diagnosis. There is very little medical
    advice and the focus of the page is sharing
    personal experience. Many results are heartfelt
    and well written.
    Forum page on authenticating a

    This forum is well-known for discussions on
    luxury designer purses. On this particular
    forum page, members are consulting forum
    experts who have expertise authenticating bags
    from this brand. These experts can tell if a
    particular bag is authentic or fake. While there
    is an ad at the top and a few ads within the
    forum message, it does not distract from the
    MC, which is easy to find.
    Forum page on KPIs to track
    ● High level of E-A-T for the topic and
    purpose of the page
    ● A satisfying amount of high quality MC
    This forum is well-known for its community of
    experts on quality assurance. The responses
    are authoritative and trustworthy for the
    purpose of the page. While there are Ads on
    the page, it is easy to find the MC and they are
    clearly labeled as “Sponsored Link.”
    Forum page on landscaping an

    ● High level of E-A-T for the topic and
    purpose of the page
    ● A satisfying amount of high quality MC
    This discussion focuses on landscaping for a
    particular paludarium (an aquarium with
    terrestrial and aquatic elements). There is a lot
    of discussion and interaction between forum
    members about the types of materials and
    species used in the aquarium. The posts show
    expertise in the niche topic of aquarium
    landscaping.

    11.0 Page Quality Rating FAQs
    Question Answer
    Why do we have to do all these
    steps? This takes a long time!
    With practice, the amount of time needed for accurate PQ ratings will decrease. The
    steps are important and are designed to help you assess many different aspects of
    PQ. You may be surprised by what you find. Pages that initially look Low quality
    may turn out to be Medium or High quality with careful inspection. The reverse may
    happen as well. We want your most informed, thoughtful opinion.
    Are we just giving High quality
    ratings to pages that “look”
    good?
    No! The goal is to do the exact opposite. These steps are designed to help you
    analyze the page without using a superficial “does it look good?” approach.
    You talked about expertise
    when rating MC. Does
    expertise matter for all topics?
    Aren't there some topics for
    which there are no experts?
    Remember that we are not just talking about formal expertise. High quality pages
    involve time, effort, expertise, and talent/skill. Sharing personal experience is a form
    of everyday expertise.
    Specifically for content creators, everyday expertise can be assessed based on the
    talent/skill level depicted in the MC (e.g., great hair-styling advice, painting/crafting
    abilities, skillful home/DIY work, etc.). In cases where the content creator is not
    demonstrating formal or everyday expertise but is not doing any harm, Medium is an
    appropriate rating.
    Pretty much any topic has some form of expert, but E-A-T is especially important for
    YMYL pages.
    For most page purposes and topics, you can find experts even when the field itself is
    niche or non-mainstream. For example, there are expert alternative medicine
    websites with leading practitioners of acupuncture, herbal therapies, etc. There are
    also pages about alternative medicine written by people with no expertise or
    experience. E-A-T should distinguish between these two scenarios.
    One final note: if the purpose of the page is harmful, then expertise doesn't matter.
    It should be rated Lowest!
    Aren't there some types of
    pages or topics, such as
    celebrity gossip, that always
    have Low quality content?
    For almost any type of page or informational topic, there is a range of content
    quality. Remember that high quality content is defined as content that takes time,
    effort, expertise, and talent/skill. Pages that have a harmful purpose should be rated
    Lowest quality, regardless of their topic.
    For example, there are both High and Low quality celebrity gossip pages. Often, the
    purpose of these pages is to share scandalous, but potentially true personal
    information about celebrities. We can consider the MC of a gossip page to be high
    quality if it is accurate and interesting information from a reliable source. On the
    other hand, demonstrably inaccurate information and unsubstantiated conspiracy
    theories, etc., should be rated Lowest.
    I've never seen a High quality
    page of type X. If there are no
    high quality pages of this type,
    why are we giving existing
    pages a Low quality rating?
    For some topics or types of pages, there may not be many (or any!) High quality
    pages now, but there may be in the future. We need a uniform set of standards that
    apply to all pages, even for pages that have not yet been created.
    Copyright 2019 64
    Question Answer
    Some of these criteria seem
    unfair. For example, some art
    pages do not have a purpose.
    Are these pages Low quality?
    Art pages do have a purpose: artistic expression. Pages created for artistic
    expression do not deserve the Low quality rating simply because they have no other
    purpose. Artistic expression, humor, entertainment, sharing photos and videos, etc.
    are all valid and valued page purposes.
    If I have to open the task URL
    on my phone, can I check for
    E-A-T on my desktop/laptop?
    Yes! More intensive analysis on the website (e.g., researching E-A-T) can be done
    on your computer. Any time that using your computer will help you complete the
    task, feel free to use it.

    Part 2: Understanding Mobile User Needs
    12.0 Understanding Mobile Users, Mobile Queries, and Mobile Results
    What do you do on your mobile smartphone?
    People rely on their phones for many different tasks in different environments. Users may want to search the web or may
    want to tell the phone to do something specific. Keep in mind that tasks can be simple or complex, and may take multiple
    steps to complete. For example, a simple task may be to find the director of a movie. A complex task may be to find a
    movie’s showtimes nearby, purchase tickets, get directions, and then use the phone’s navigation to go to the theater.
    We expect our phones to do a lot. At the same time, phones can be challenging to use, especially compared to a desktop
    computer or laptop:
    ● Entering data may be cumbersome: typing is difficult on mobile smartphones, and when users speak to their
    phones instead of typing, voice recognition may not always be accurate.
    ● Small screen sizes make it difficult to use some phone features, apps, and webpages.
    ● Some webpages are difficult to use on a mobile phone. Website navigation can be difficult as menus and
    navigation links may be small. Webpages may require left-to-right scrolling to read text. Images may not fit on
    the screen. In addition, many mobile devices cannot access webpages with Flash or other similar features.
    ● Internet connectivity can be slow and inconsistent for mobile users going in and out of networks. App
    opening, recognition of voice commands, and webpage load times can be very slow on a mobile phone.
    Important: Mobile smartphones should make tasks easy, even for mobile users with a small screen device (i.e.,
    size of smartphone, not a tablet). Users want results right away, at that moment, and may not be able to spend a lot of
    time to find what they are looking for.
    In order to do mobile rating tasks, you must have experience using a mobile smartphone, which we’ll also refer to as a
    mobile phone in these guidelines. If you are not familiar with voice commands, device actions, or phone features, please
    take some time to experiment on a mobile smartphone. For example, you can try some of these voice commands:
    ● iPhone Siri voice commands
    ● Android voice commands, or say “OK Google” and then “Help” on an Android device
    Copyright 2019 66
    12.1 Important Rating Definitions and Ideas
    Query: This refers to the word(s) and/or number(s) that a user types or speaks into a mobile phone. In these guidelines,
    queries have square brackets around them. If a user says “navigate home,” we display: [navigate home]. If a user types
    “iPhone” in the search box, we display: [iphone].
    There are many different types of queries because users ask their phones to do many things, from opening an app to
    calling a friend to searching the web.
    User: The user is the person trying to find information or accomplish a task by typing or speaking into a mobile phone with
    a small screen (i.e., size of a smartphone, not a tablet). Keep in mind that users are people from all over the world:
    people of all ages, genders, races, religions, political affiliations, etc.
    User Intent: When a user types or speaks a query, he or she is trying to accomplish something. We refer to this goal as
    the user intent.
    Locale: All queries have a locale, which is the language and location for the task. Locales are represented by a two-letter
    country code. For a current list of country codes, click here. We sometimes refer to the locale as the task location.
    User Location: This tells us where the user is located, and should be inferred from the map provided.
    Search Engine Results Page (SERP): The page a search engine shows after a user enters a query in the search box.
    The SERP is made up of result blocks.
    Result: We will use the word result to refer to the result block and the landing page.
    ● Result Block: This is an individual “block” that appears on the user’s phone in response to the query. The result
    block may display information in the block itself or contain links, or may do both.
    ● The Landing Page (LP) is the page you see after you click a link in the result block.
    Device Actions: Mobile phones and other devices can respond to voice commands to perform many actions, such as
    setting an alarm or opening an app. This is a specific type of query that we’ll refer to as a Device Action query.
    ● Device Action query: Specific type of query where users ask their phone to perform an action. These are
    frequently spoken commands used to complete actions that would normally require interaction with the screen or
    the device's controls.
    ● Device Action result: The phone may respond to a Device Action query by performing an action, such as
    calling a phone number, etc.
    Copyright 2019 67
    12.2 Understanding the Query
    Understanding the query is the first step in evaluating the task. Remember, a query is what a user types or
    speaks into a mobile phone.
    Some tasks include a query research link, which you should use if you don’t understand the query or user
    intent. Otherwise, please do web research using Google or an online dictionary or encyclopedia. If you still
    don’t understand the query or user intent, please release the task.
    Important: If you research the query on Google, please do not rely on the top results on the SERP. A query may have
    other meanings not represented on Google’s search results pages. Do not assign a high rating to a webpage just
    because it appears at the top of a list of search results on Google.
    Think about users in your locale typing or speaking the following queries into their phone.
    Query Likely User Intent
    [population of paris], English (US) Find the current population of Paris, France.
    [starbucks near me], English (US) Find the nearest Starbucks location.
    [weather], English (US) Find weather information in the user location right now.
    [call mom], English (US) Call/dial the number stored for the contact “Mom” on the device.
    12.3 Locale and User Location
    All queries have a task language and task location (referred to in rating tasks as the "Locale"). The locale is important for
    understanding the query and user intent. Users in different locations may have different expectations for the same query.
    Each rating task will show you the User Location information: some tasks have an approximate user location area and
    some tasks have a very specific user location.
    Note: Examples in the following sections will include a User Location in the form of a city and state. Note that in the actual
    rating tasks, you will need to infer the User Location based on the map that is provided, as discussed in Section 28.
    For many or most queries, the user location does not change our understanding of the query and user intent. Here are
    some examples: [facebook.com], [pictures of kittens], [distance between the earth and the moon], [call mom]. If the task
    does not display a user location, please evaluate it as a query where the location does not matter and use your judgment.
    When is the user location important in understanding query interpretation and user intent? Please use both web research
    and your personal judgment to answer this question. Ask yourself, “Would users in one city or country be looking for
    something different than users in another city or country?”
    Copyright 2019 68
    12.4 Queries with an Explicit Location
    Sometimes users tell search engines exactly what kinds of results they are looking for by adding the desired location in
    the query, regardless of their user location. We'll call this location inside the query the “explicit location.” The explicit
    location makes queries much easier to understand and interpret.
    Sometimes the explicit location matches the user location or locale, and sometimes it doesn't.
    When there is an explicit location in the query, pay attention to it! Users use explicit locations to indicate exactly what they
    are looking for.
    12.5 Queries with Multiple Meanings
    Many queries have more than one meaning. For example, the query [apple] might refer to the computer brand or the fruit.
    We will call these possible meanings query interpretations.
    Dominant Interpretation: The dominant interpretation of a query is what most users mean when they type the query. Not
    all queries have a dominant interpretation. The dominant interpretation should be clear to you, especially after doing a
    little web research.
    Common Interpretation: A common interpretation of a query is what many or some users mean when they type a query.
    A query can have multiple common interpretations.
    Minor Interpretations: Sometimes you will find less common interpretations. These are interpretations that few users
    have in mind. We will call these minor interpretations.

    Query: [apple]
    Locale: English (US)
    Query: [mercury]
    Locale: English (US)
    12.6 Query Meanings Can Change Over Time
    Remember to think about the query and its current meaning as you are rating. We will assume users are looking for
    current information about a topic, the most recent product model, the most recent occurrence of a recurring event, etc.,
    unless otherwise specified by the query.
    Copyright 2019 70
    The interpretation of the query [iphone], English (US) has changed over time as new iPhone models are released. The
    first iPhone was introduced in 2007. Users searching for [iphone], English (US) at that time were looking for the new (at
    the time) first iPhone model. Most users now are looking for the most recent or upcoming iPhone model. In the future,
    new models will come out and the dominant interpretation will change again.
    12.7 Understanding User Intent
    It can be helpful to think of queries as having one or more of the following intents.
    ● Know query, some of which are Know Simple queries
    ● Do query, some of which are Device Action queries
    ● Website query, when the user is looking for a specific website or webpage
    ● Visit-in-person query, some of which are looking for a specific business or organization, some of which are
    looking for a category of businesses
    12.7.1 Know and Know Simple Queries
    The intent of a Know query is to find information on a topic. Users want to Know more about something.
    Know Simple queries are a special type of Know query. Know Simple queries seek a very specific answer, like a fact,
    diagram, etc. This answer has to be correct and complete, and can be displayed in a relatively small amount of space:
    the size of a mobile phone screen. As a rule of thumb, if most people would agree on a correct answer, and it would fit in
    1-2 sentences or a short list of items, the query can be called a Know Simple query.
    Copyright 2019 71
    Know Simple queries may be questions such as [how tall is barack obama]. Frequently, Know Simple queries do not
    have question words. For example, [barack obama height] has the same user intent as [how tall is barack obama], but is
    not in a question format.
    Most queries are not Know Simple queries, such as:
    ● Broad, complex, and/or in-depth informational queries that do not have a short answer
    ● Ambiguous or unclear informational queries
    ● Informational queries on controversial topics
    ● Informational queries with no definitive “right answer”
    ● Queries where different users may want different types of information, or different sources of information
    Here are some examples where the Know Simple query asks for a simple fact, which can be answered correctly and
    completely in a small amount of space, and the Know query answer is more complex.
    Know Simple Query Know Query Explanation
    [barack obama height]
    [how tall is obama] [barack obama]
    The Know query is a broad information query and different
    users may be looking for different things (e.g., biography,
    books, social media posts, etc.).
    [new york city population 2013] [new york city]
    The Know query is a broad information query and different
    users may be looking for different things (e.g., tourist and trip
    planning information, facts, photographs, history).
    [who is graves disease named
    after] [graves disease]
    The Know query is a broad query for medical information
    and different users may have different needs. There is no
    single “answer” for this query.
    [macy’s store hours] [macy’s gift wrap options]
    The Know query is a broad query for a particular service
    offered by a department store, and does not have a short
    answer.
    [what is the symbol for the
    element nickel] [what nickel is used for] The Know query is a broad query and there is no short,
    complete answer.
    [who won the 2014 bcs national
    championship game]
    [who is going to win the bcs
    national championship game]
    The Know query asks for an opinion and there is no
    definitive answer.
    [what is starbucks stock price] [should i invest in starbucks stock]
    Even though the Know query is theoretically a yes/no
    question, there is not a single answer that everyone would
    agree on.
    Raters must think about mobile users when deciding if queries are Know Simple. Use your judgment here.
    Important Rating Example: The query [weather] may seem like a broad information query, but most mobile users likely
    have a fairly simple informational need: to find the current or upcoming temperature, and the chance of local weather
    events, such as rain or snow. Therefore, we will consider queries like [weather], [weather today], [weather tomorrow],
    [weather this week] to be Know Simple queries for mobile phone users.
    12.7.2 Do and Device Action Queries
    The intent of a Do query is to accomplish a goal or engage in an activity on a phone. The goal or activity may be to
    download, to buy, to obtain, to be entertained by, or to interact with a website or app. Users want to Do something.
    Copyright 2019 72
    Here are some examples.
    Query Likely User Intent
    [get candy crush game] Install the Candy Crush game.
    [online personality test] Take an online personality test.
    [what is my bmi?] Calculate BMI (body mass index).
    [buy citizen kane dvd] Purchase this DVD.
    Device Action queries are a special kind of Do query. Users are asking their phone to do something for them. Users
    giving Device Action queries may be using phones in the hands-free mode, for example, while in a car. It’s very
    important for mobile phones to accommodate Device Action queries, and we have a high standard for rating these
    results.
    A Device Action query usually has a clear action word and intent. The verb or action word is often at the beginning of
    the query, but a query might start with “OK Google” or “Google” or “Siri” or “I want to.” Use your judgment.
    Here are some examples of Device Action queries.
    Type of Action Device Action Query Examples (verb or action shown in bold)
    Call someone
    [ call mom’s mobile phone], [place a call to anne jones], [ok google, could you please call my
    mom]
    Send a message [ send a text to john smith], [ text john smith], [ sms john smith]
    Get map information (e.g.,
    directions, traffic, etc.) [ navigate to central park], [ show me traffic], [ show me a map]
    Open an app or webpage, or
    install an app
    [ go to amazon.com], [ open facebook app], [ open facebook.com], [ open the business section of
    the new york times], [siri, would you open facebook for me], [ get candy crush app]
    Play or view media [ play me songs from the white album], [ watch the life of pi], [ show me cute kittens], [i want to
    look at cute kittens], [i want to listen to imagine dragons radioactive]
    Schedule a meeting [ schedule a meeting for 9am]
    Set an alarm or timer [ set an alarm for 6am], [alarm for 6am], [countdown timer for 30 secs]
    Here are some examples of queries that are not Device Action queries.
    Query Query is NOT a Device Action Query: Explanation
    [phone number empire state
    building]
    There is no action word. The user may be looking for the phone number without the intention of
    calling the number. We’ll consider this a Know Simple query.
    [facebook.com] There is no action word, such as “open.” We will consider this a Website query.
    [amazon.com] There is no action word, such as “open.” We will consider this a Website query.
    [anne jones] There is no action word, such as “call” or “text.” We will consider this a Know query for
    information.
    12.7.3 Website Queries
    The intent of a Website query is to locate a specific website or webpage that users have requested. This single webpage
    is called the target of the query.
    Copyright 2019 73
    One type of Website query is a URL Query, which can be:
    ● Exact, perfectly-formed, working URLs, such as [ibm.com] or [www.ibm.com] or [ibm.com].
    ● Imperfect URL queries: Queries that look like URL queries, but are not “working URLs”. These URLs do not load
    if you type or paste them into your browser address bar. Even so, we believe users have a specific page in mind.
    Here are some examples.
    Query Likely User Intent
    [kayak], English (US) View the Kayak website.
    [youtube], English (US) View the YouTube website.
    [ebay], Italian (IT) View the Italian eBay website.
    [new york time health section], English (US) View the Health section of the New York Times website.
    [canon.com eos digital camera], English (US) View the EOS digital cameras page on the Canon website.
    12.7.4 Visit-in-Person Queries and User Location
    Users carry mobile phones with them throughout the day, for example, at work, to school, to restaurants, or running
    errands. One reason to carry a mobile phone is to have help with Visit-in-Person queries, such as finding coffee shops,
    gas stations, ATMs, restaurants, etc. Because mobile phones are often used for Visit-in-Person queries, make sure to
    consider visit-in-person intent as a possibility for mobile phone users.
    Some queries clearly “ask” for nearby information or nearby results (e.g., businesses, organizations, other nearby places).
    Some queries are not asking for nearby information or nearby results. Here are some examples.
    Queries with Visit-in-Person Intent Query with Non-Visit-in-Person Intent
    More examples : [pizza], [yoga class], [coffee shops], [movie
    showtimes], [car repair], [dentists], [bank of america atm
    locations], [starbucks near me]
    More examples : [boston red sox], [washington post], [scrabble
    cheat], [definition of sedentary], [aapl], [beyonce], [angry birds],
    [small dog breeds], [dance videos], [oscars 2012], [pick up lines],
    [bank of america login]
    Copyright 2019 74
    And some queries could go either way. Some users may want nearby results and others may not.
    Here are some examples of queries with both visit-in-person and non-visit-in-person intent:
    ● [hotels]
    ● [post office]
    ● [apple store]
    ● [citibank]
    ● [best buy]
    ● [office depot]
    ● [target]
    ● [library]
    ● [bank of america]
    ● [the gap]
    Copyright 2019 75
    Sometimes, the user location can change our understanding of the query. For users close to Sunnyvale, California, the
    query [turmeric] could have two different interpretations: a popular restaurant named Turmeric or the spice turmeric.
    In most other user locations, there is no restaurant (or anything else) named Turmeric and there is just one interpretation
    of the query [turmeric]: the spice. The Sunnyvale restaurant is not well-known outside of Sunnyvale, California.
    Use your common sense when thinking about queries and whether they have possible visit-in-person intent.
    Copyright 2019 76
    12.7.5 Queries with Multiple User Intents
    Many queries have more than one likely user intent. Please use your judgment when trying to decide if one intent is more
    likely than another intent.
    Query Likely User Intent
    [harvard] Depending on the user need and location, users may want to visit the official homepage ( Website ),
    get directions ( Visit-in-Person ), or learn more about the school ( Know ).
    [walmart] Most users want to go to a nearby Walmart ( Visit-in-Person ) or view the homepage to shop online
    ( Website ). Some or few users may want to learn more information about the company ( Know ).
    12.8 Understanding Result Blocks
    The following sections contain examples of different types of queries and results. In these guidelines, please
    assume that the result blocks and pages are easy to use on the phone, unless otherwise noted.
    12.8.1 Web Search Result Block Examples
    Web Search Result Blocks typically have a title link, a URL and a “snippet” of text describing the page. For many queries,
    Web Search Result Blocks are the most helpful type of result.
    Query, User Location, User Intent Web Search Result Block
    Query: [cuisinart food processor reviews]
    User Location: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
    User Intent: This is a Know query. The user
    wants to find recent reviews of Cuisinart food
    processors.
    Result: This is a Web Search Result Block
    that has a link to a landing page with Cuisinart
    reviews.
    Query: [broadway tickets]
    User Location: New York City, New York
    User Intent: This is a Know query or Do
    query. The user wants to search prices and/or
    purchase tickets to a Broadway show in New
    York City.
    Copyright 2019 77
    12.8.2 Special Content Result Block Examples
    Special Content Result Blocks (SCRBs) appear in the search results page, along with Web Search Result Blocks. They
    are frequently, but not always, the first result on the search results page.
    Special Content Result Blocks are designed to show content directly to users on the search results page. From working
    calculators to playable videos to interactive weather information, these results help users immediately get information or
    content, and may not require additional “clicks” or page loads.
    Because mobile phones can be difficult to use, SCRBs can help mobile phone users accomplish their tasks very quickly,
    especially for certain Know Simple, Visit-in-Person, and Do queries.
    Important: Please assume that any interactive features work and function properly. Some notes:
    ● All result blocks are “screenshots” or images of search results with prominent links enabled. Unfortunately, a
    screenshot or image of an interactive result block will not function as it would for a real user. For the purpose of
    rating, please assume that interactive result blocks do function as intended. Try to interact with the result
    block as some links, buttons, or other features may work.
    ● There may be a delay between when the rating task is created and when you actually rate the block, causing
    some information in special content result blocks to be a few hours or even days out of date. Stock price or
    weather informational blocks are designed to give users extremely current and timely information. However, due
    to a delay in rating time, the information may no longer be accurate. Don’t penalize a special content result block
    for being out of date. Assume that the blocks show current information for users, unless instructed
    otherwise.
    Query, User Location, User Intent Special Content Result Block
    Query: [weather]
    User Location: Chicago, Illinois
    User Intent: This is a Know Simple query
    since mobile users have a fairly simple
    informational need: find the current
    temperature and chance of rain or snow. The
    user wants to know the weather for the User
    Location.
    Note: Assume the block shows current
    information for users.

the tallest.
12.8.3 Device Action Result Block Examples
A mobile phone should respond to a Device Action query and do what the user is asking. If the block is a Device Action
query to open an app, please assume that the user has the app installed on their phone. If the query is to download the
app, please assume that the user does not have the app installed on their phone.

User Intent: This is a Device Action query.
The user wants to call the nearest Best Buy
store.
Result: In this Device Action Result Block, the
query has initiated a call to the nearest Best
Buy location.
12.8.4 How Device Action Results are Displayed in Rating Tasks
Important note: Users issuing queries actually experience the phone’s response to the query, while raters are given a
description of it. If an iPhone user says “Siri, call Mom,” the iPhone displays a visual prompt to show that it’s dialing a
phone number. In these rating tasks, you will see a description of this action.
Please also assume that the phone successfully performs the action in a fully satisfying way.
Below are some additional examples of Device Action queries, along with the corresponding “action text” displayed in the
rating task.
This is what the user sees on his or her phone for the
Device Action query
This is what you (the rater) might see in the rating task
The left side shows what the user sees on the phone for the query [set alarm for 30 mins], while the right side shows the
“action text” that you (the rater) might see in the rating task. The text on the right indicates that the user issued the
query at 1:48 PM (13:48:00), and the device has set its alarm to go off 30 minutes later at 2:18 PM (14:18:00).
Copyright 2019 82
This is what the user sees on his or her phone for the
Device Action query
This is what you (the rater) might see in the rating task
The left side shows what the user sees on the phone for the query [open facebook app]. In this case, the phone shows
an “Opening app” message and then opens the app. The right side shows the “action text” that you (the rater) might see
in the rating task. The text indicates that the device responded by opening the Facebook app on the user’s phone.
The left side shows what the user sees on the phone for the query [call dan], while the right side shows the “action text”
that you (the rater) might see in the rating task. The user wants to dial the number stored for the contact “Dan” on the
device. This text indicates that the device responded by displaying the contact’s phone number and dialing the number.
Copyright 2019 83
This is what the user sees on his or her phone for the
Device Action query
This is what you (the rater) might see in the rating task
For some Device Action queries, the device displays a list of options to choose from before it can respond to the
Device Action query. Here is an example for the query [call target]. The user is shown a list of Target stores in the
area to choose from. This example shows that the Device Action result taken by the device will be to call the desired
Target store after the user makes his/her selection.
Here is an example for the query [play adele]. The user is shown a "Play media" type of result. In this case, since the
user wants to play music, the Device Action result shown is a "Play Music" button to click. Clicking this button will play
the specified song if the user has the song on his/her device. If not, clicking the result box will give the user options to
hear the specified song online.

12.9 Rating on Your Phone Issues
We understand that raters using different phones, operating systems, and browsers may have different experiences. In
general, do what you would do naturally, and rate based on your experience. Here are some additional points to keep in
mind when you are rating on your phone:
● If you see one of these messages when you open a landing page on your phone:
o Asks whether you want to open the page in the browser or the website’s app: select and evaluate the
webpage. However, if the result automatically opens an app by default based on your phone’s settings
(e.g. some users have set all YouTube pages to automatically open the result in the YouTube app), you
should rate your natural app experience— you do not have to change your phone’s default settings.
o Asks whether you want to visit the mobile page or desktop page: it is fine to select the mobile page as
long as the landing page is the same. Sometimes, the mobile option will bring you to the mobile
homepage instead of the specific URL in the task. You may need to check that the mobile page is in fact
the same URL as the desktop page.
● Please open and look at PDF files. Your experience may be easier or harder than other users depending on your
phone and browser, but you should still open the PDF file and look at it.
● Occasionally, you may be assigned some of these rating tasks on a desktop computer, but please rate from the
perspective of a mobile user unless otherwise instructed.
● You should assume queries were issued on a smartphone unless otherwise stated in the task or project-specific
instructions.
Copyright 2019 85
Part 3: Needs Met Rating Guideline
13.0 Rating Using the Needs Met Scale
There are many different kinds of queries and results, but the process of rating is the same: Needs Met rating tasks ask
you to focus on mobile user needs and think about how helpful and satisfying the result is for the mobile users.
This is what the Needs Met rating slider looks like:
Rating Description
Fully Meets (FullyM)
A special rating category, which only applies to certain queries and results. All or almost all
mobile users would be immediately and fully satisfied by the result and would not need to
view other results to satisfy their need.
Highly Meets (HM) Very helpful for many or most mobile users. Some users may wish to see additional results.
Moderately Meets (MM)
Helpful for many users OR very helpful for some mobile users. Some or many users may
wish to see additional results.
Slightly Meets (SM)
Helpful for fewer mobile users. There is a connection between the query and the result, but
not a strong or satisfying connection. Many or most users would wish to see additional
results.
Fails to Meet (FailsM)
Completely fails to meet the needs of the mobile users. All or almost all users would wish to
see additional results.
Please note that you may assign in-between ratings. Use in-between ratings if you think the rating of a result falls
between two labels. You can either drag the slider or click on the point that you want the slider to land on.
13.1 Rating Result Blocks: Block Content and Landing Pages
For Needs Met rating, you will assign a rating to each result. Each result includes the content inside the result block and
landing pages associated with the result.
Which part of the result do you rate? It depends on both the query and the result block:
Type of Block What to Rate
Special Content Result Block
(SCRB)
Note: Assume that interactive
result blocks function as intended.
Try to interact with the result block
as some links, buttons, or other
features in your rating task may
work.
The content inside this type of block should always play a large role in your rating.
In addition, think about whether a user would click on the link(s) if available, in order
to satisfy their user need.
● If most users would not click, rate the Special Content Result Block based
on the block content alone.
● If some or many users would click, you may consider the helpfulness of the
landing page(s) in addition to the content in the block. In this case, both
need to be helpful to justify a high rating.
Web Search Result Block A click is required, and you should evaluate the landing page to assign a rating.
Device Action Result Block Base your rating on the helpfulness of the action itself.
Copyright 2019 86
For example, think about the query [what does love mean].
Result Block Query: [what does love mean] Rating
Special Content Result Block
Most users would probably not click on
the Special Content Result Block,
because the block contains a large
amount of helpful content and has no
obvious landing page link associated
with it.
Therefore, base your rating on the
content inside the block itself.
Web Search Result Block
In this case, users would have to click on
the web search result in order to get an
answer to the question.
Therefore, base your rating on the
content of the landing page.
Copyright 2019 87
Here are some examples of Special Content Result Blocks where the block should be rated primarily on the content inside
the block itself. As always, please use your judgment.
Query and Special Content Result Block
Query: [utopia animal hospital] Query: [chicago weather] Query: [calories in a banana]
Query: [how to find security code on
visa]
Query: [how did Lincoln die] Query: [movies san francisco]
Copyright 2019 88
13.2 Fully Meets (FullyM)
Fully Meets is a special rating category, which can be used in the following situations:
● The query and user need must be specific, clear, and unambiguous.
● The result must be fully satisfying for mobile users, requiring minimal effort for users to immediately get or use
what they are looking for.
● All or almost all users would be completely satisfied by the result—users issuing that query would not need
additional results to fully satisfy the user intent.
In other words, the Fully Meets rating should be reserved for results that are the “complete and perfect response or
answer” so that no other results are necessary for all or almost all users to be fully satisfied.
You will need to use your judgment to decide whether a result block can Fully Meet the user need. Here are some
scenarios when the Fully Meets rating is appropriate:
● The user is clearly looking for a specific webpage or website and the result block with the specific webpage or
website Fully Meets the user’s need.
● The user is trying to complete a device action and the result block accomplishes the desired request.
● The user is looking for a very specific fact or piece of information and the result block provides the information
immediately, thoroughly, accurately, and clearly. No other results would be needed. Before using the Fully
Meets rating for queries seeking a very specific fact or piece of information, you must check for accuracy and
confirm that the information is supported by expert consensus where such consensus exists.
Fully Meets may apply in other situations as well. Ask yourself whether the result block alone is the perfect and complete
result that would fully satisfy all or almost all users. Be conservative when using the Fully Meets rating. When in doubt,
consider a lower rating.
Note: If a result block is very close to being fully satisfying, but the block alone may not be sufficient in order to fully satisfy
all or almost all users, a rating of Highly Meets+ may be appropriate.
Sometimes you have to think about how specific the user need is and will need to make a judgment call on whether it is
specific enough to possibly have a Fully Meets rating.

13.2.2 Examples of Queries that Cannot Have Fully Meets Results
There are some queries that cannot have a Fully Meets result. Here are some examples.
Type of Query Example No Fully Meets Result: Explanation
Broad queries where no
single result could fully
satisfy all users
[knitting]
This is a broad informational query. Knitting
is an activity anyone can do and that anyone
can create a website for. Different users
may want different types of content: videos,
instructions, patterns, etc. There is no one
official source for knitting information and no
one result could satisfy most users.
Therefore, no Fully Meets result is possible
for this query.
Famous names
e.g., [barack obama]
This is a broad informational query and it is
impossible to know exactly what the user is
looking for.
Ambiguous queries
without a clear user intent
or dominant interpretation
[ada]
There is no dominant interpretation for this
query. The following entities are all common
interpretations: Americans with Disabilities
Act, American Dental Association, and
American Diabetes Association. While each
interpretation has an official homepage,
none is Fully Meets since there is no
dominant interpretation.
Non-famous people names
e.g., [sam wen]
Queries for people’s names can be tricky.
Many or most people queries do not have a
dominant interpretation. Even unusual
sounding name queries may not have a
dominant interpretation. For example, the
queries [sam wen], [tran nguyen], and [david
mease] can have no Fully Meets result
because there are multiple people with each
of these names, and it is not clear that most
users are looking for any one particular
individual.

13.3 Highly Meets (HM)
A rating of Highly Meets is assigned to results that meet the needs of many or most users. Highly Meets results are
highly satisfying and a good “fit” for the query. In addition, they often have some or all of the following characteristics: high
quality, authoritative, entertaining, and/or recent (e.g., breaking news on a topic).
In order to receive a Highly Meets rating, information pages such as encyclopedia articles and news articles must be
accurate and highly credible. Highly Meets medical and scientific information pages must represent well-established
scientific/medical consensus unless the user is clearly seeking an alternative viewpoint. For all information pages, you
must check for accuracy and confirm that the information is supported by expert consensus where such consensus exists.
A query can have many Highly Meets results.
Have high standards for the Highly Meets rating. This is especially important for queries with many on-topic results.

User Intent: Get
directions from Seattle to
another place. Note that
the location in the query
(“xpppzyfii”) is garbled and

13.4 Moderately Meets (MM)
A rating of Moderately Meets is assigned to results that are helpful and satisfying for many users or very satisfying for
some users.
Moderately Meets results have fewer valuable attributes than Highly Meets results. Moderately Meets results should
still “fit” the query, but they might be less comprehensive, less up-to-date, come from a less authoritative source, etc.
Moderately Meets results are not low quality, out-of-date, or inaccurate. Moderately Meets results are generally
average to good.

User Intent: Go to the YouTube website.
This is a result to download one
of the
YouTube apps. Mobile
users want answers and results
right away and may not be able

downloading and installing apps.
It is possible that users want one
of the
YouTube apps, but it is

13.5 Slightly Meets (SM)
A rating of Slightly Meets is assigned to results that are helpful and satisfying for some or few users. Slightly Meets
results may serve a minor interpretation, be low quality, have stale or outdated information, have some minor
inaccuracies, be too specific, too broad, too niche for the general user population considering the query, etc. to receive a
higher rating.
Important note: On mobile phones, the "cost of a click" is high. Many users decide which result to click or tap on based
on the title of the web result on the search results page. (Note that these titles usually come from webpages.) A result
with a very misleading or exaggerated title should be rated Slightly Meets or lower, due to the poor user experience that
occurs when the landing page does not match the expectation of the user when clicking or tapping on the result.
13.5.1 Examples of Slightly Meets (SM) Result Blocks
Query and User Intent Result Rating Slightly Meets Explanation
Query: [britney spears]
User Location: Baltimore,
Maryland
User Intent: Find
information about Britney
Spears (e.g., current
news, pictures).
The LP of this mobile-friendly
web result has a 2006 article
about Britney Spears filing for
divorce. This is very old, stale
news, making the result helpful
for few users.
Query: [honda odyssey]
User Location: Miami,
Florida
User Intent: We will
assume that users are
interested in the current
Honda Odyssey model,
unless specified otherwise.
Although the LP has
comprehensive information from
a reputable source, and is easy
to use on a mobile device, the
information is about the 2010
Honda Odyssey. This
information would be considered
stale for the query today, making
this result helpful for some or few
users.
Query: [hot dog]
User Location:
Sunnyvale, California
User Intent: Find
information about hot
dogs, such as recipes or
nutrition information.
The LP of this web result is about
the movie “Hot Dog,” which came
out in 1984 and is a minor
interpretation of this query.
Because this is an unlikely
interpretation, this web result
would be helpful for few users,
even though the landing page
has good content from a
reputable source, and is easy to
use on a mobile device.
Query: [motorcycles]
User Location: Potsdam,
New York
User Intent: Find
information about
motorcycles.
This result provides contact
information for one of the two
motorcycle shops in Potsdam,
New York. It is possible this
would be helpful for some users,
but many users would be looking
for information. Additionally,
there is distracting
information (a listing for an
insurance agent).

Query: [abe lincoln’s
birthday]
User Location: Fort
Davis,
Texas
User Intent: Find this
specific piece of
information.
This is a Wikipedia page that has
birthdays for all U.S. presidents,
including Abraham Lincoln.
However, his birthday is not
prominently displayed and it is
not obvious that the answer is
there—users have to do some
work and search around on the
page to find the answer, making
SM to SM+ an appropriate rating.
Query: [lack of sex and
problems with my
marriage]
User Location:
Waco,
Texas
User Intent: Find help for
marital issues.
The quality of writing in this
article, which was created by a
person without expertise in
marriage or relationship
counseling, is poor. Even though
the article is about the query, the
page is low quality and
untrustworthy. It would be helpful
for few users.
Query: [nail spa]
User Location: San Jose,
California
User Intent: Find a nail
spa in or near San Jose.
Burke Williams is a day spa that
offers many treatments like
massage therapy, skin care, etc.
While it does have nail care
options, it is not a dedicated nail
spa.
Query: [what type of
sharks live in rivers]
User Location:
Tucson,
Arizona
User Intent: Find
information about what
types of sharks live in
rivers.
This result block does not
contain enough information to be
fully satisfying and mentions only
one type of shark. Most users
would need to do further
research.
Query: [210 area code]
User Location: Austin, Texas
User Intent: Find what
area uses the 210 area
code for phone numbers.
The answer in this result block is
really confusing. Even if users
can figure it out, they would likely
still have to click on the link, or
go to another website, to confirm
the information.
While there is a map, you would
have to expand or click on it to
see the details, so it is not that
helpful.

Query: [where is nibiru]
User Location: Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma
User Intent: Find the
location of "Nibiru", which
was a fictional planet in
the movie Star Trek Into
Darkness , as well as a
pseudoscientific outer
planet in the solar system
that doesn't actually exist.
The title of this article makes it
appear as though the article
describes an impending
catastrophe. Yet, the MC states
in its third paragraph that Nibiru
"doesn’t actually exist" and calls
believers in it "conspiracy
theorists". The title contradicts
the content of the article, and as
a result could mislead users who
don't read the full article.
Note: The "cost of a click" is high
on mobile phones. Results with
very misleading or exaggerated
titles should be rated Slightly
Meets or lower.

13.6 Fails to Meet (FailsM)
A rating of Fails to Meet should be assigned to results that are helpful and satisfying for no or very few users. Fails to
Meet results are unrelated to the query, factually incorrect (please check for factual accuracy of answers), and/or all or
almost all users would want to see additional results. These results completely fail to meet the user intent, such as a lack
of attention to an aspect of the query (or user location) that is important for satisfying user intent. Fails to Meet may also
be used for results that are extremely low quality, have very stale or outdated information, be nearly impossible to use on
a mobile device, etc.
Fails to Meet should be used for the following types of Lowest Page Quality results:
● Results that harm users (e.g., malicious download pages, "phishing" pages or websites, etc.).
● Pages or websites that misrepresent the website's owner or purpose, such as by impersonating a different site
(e.g., copied logo or branding of an unaffiliated site, URL that mimics another site's name).
● Pages or websites that appear to be deliberate attempts to misinform or deceive users by presenting factually
inaccurate content (e.g., fake product reviews, demonstrably inaccurate news, etc.).
● Pages or websites with factually inaccurate content that can cause harm to users, regardless of their purpose or
intent (e.g., inaccurate medical information; inaccurate information about how to vote, obtain a visa or green card,
pay government taxes, etc.).
The following should also be rated Fails to Meet because they lead to very poor and upsetting user experiences:
● Porn results for non-porn-seeking queries.
● Upsetting or offensive results for queries that are not obviously seeking upsetting or offensive content.
● Pages that directly contradict well-established scientific or medical consensus for queries seeking scientific or
medical information, unless the query indicates the user is seeking an alternative viewpoint.
● Pages that directly contradict well-established historical facts (e.g., unsubstantiated conspiracy theories), unless
the query clearly indicates the user is seeking an alternative viewpoint.

Note: For this query, it is
very unlikely users want to
go anywhere in person.
This is a broad informational
query for an animal. Different
users may be looking for different
things.
This result block shows
visit-in-person information for
three different dog care providers
near the user location. However,
the query is very broad and it is
unlikely users want to go
anywhere in person.
Query: [mike]
User Location: Eustis,
Florida
User Intent: Find
information about
something related to Mike.
Note: For this query, it is
unlikely users want to go
anywhere in person.
This is a broad query and it is
unclear exactly what the user is
looking for.
This result block shows
visit-in-person information for two
businesses that contain the
name Mike. However, the query
is very broad and it is very
unlikely these businesses are
what users seek given the query.

Query: [tampa rays]
User Location: Tampa,
Florida
User Intent: Find
information (e.g., scores,
roster, recent news) about
a professional baseball
team in Florida called
Tampa Bay Rays.
Note: For this query, it is
unlikely users want to go
anywhere in person.
This result block shows
information to visit a sports card
store in person, which happens
to have the baseball team in the
name. However, remember that
for this query, it is unlikely users
want to go anywhere in person.
Note: This business was
fabricated for the purposes of
this example, and does not exist
in real life.
Query: [wral]
User Location: Wake
County, North Carolina
User Intent: Go to the
WRAL website or find
other information about the
news station in North
Carolina.
Note: Users generally
would not go to a news
station in person.
WRAL is a television news
station in North Carolina. Users
want to go to the website or find
information about the station.
In this example, clicking on the
blocks show information about
the businesses’ corporate
headquarters. Note that
television stations (like radio
stations, newspapers, etc.)
usually have special contact
information for the public that is
different than their corporate
headquarter information. Also,
with the query just being the
name of the station, it is very
unlikely that users want this kind
of information.
Query: [texas farm
fertilizer]
User Location: Dallas,
Texas
User Intent: Find
information about, or
where to buy, fertilizer from
the company Texas Farm.
This result block shows the
Texas Farm corporate office,
which is not helpful given the
user intent—users could not
physically go to the company’s
corporate office to buy or learn
about the product. Fertilizer is
the kind of product that you
would have to buy at a store.

Query: [who invented
stairs]
User Location: Lubbock, Texas
User Intent: Find out
about the origin of stairs.
The answer provided in this
result block is factually

1948, and they were not invented
by a person named
Werner

developers who are

This result includes several apps
to download, with an option to
see more apps. The user is
looking for information about app
developers that are well-known ,
so it Fails to Meet the user
intent.
Note: Unless you feel the user
intent to download an app is
strong, results that allow users to
download apps are generally
less helpful. Mobile users want
answers and results right away,
at that moment, and may not be

interpretation) that this query is
looking for information on a city
in Japan called Obama, given
that the user is located in the
United States. No or almost no
users would be satisfied with this
result.
Query: [weather paris,
texas]
User Location: Paris,
Texas
User Intent: Find current
weather information for
Paris, Texas.
This result completely fails to
satisfy the user intent, which is to
find weather information for
Paris, Texas, and not Paris,
France. No users would be
satisfied with this result.

Query: [what is the third
quarter earnings for ge]
User Location: New York,
New York
User Intent: Find this
most recent third quarter
earnings information for
General Electric.
This result does not answer the
user’s question to show third
quarter earnings for GE. No
users would be satisfied with this
result.
Query: [city of angels]
User Location:
Chicago, Illinois
User Intent: Find
information about the
school, a movie by this
name, or some other entity
by this name.
This result reflects one of several
possible user intents, as the
query is also the name of a
movie, song, musical, and more.
Since the user location is in
Chicago, very few or no users
would be interested in seeing
information about a school by
this name in Los Angeles that is
not well known outside of this
city. It is very unlikely that people
outside of Los Angeles would
use this query to search for this
school.
Query: [go kart for sale]
User Location:
Warrington, Pennsylvania
User Intent: Find go karts
for sale in the Warrington,
Pennsylvania area.
This result block shows a go kart
arcade in Warrington,
Pennsylvania, and two other go
kart arcades in the surrounding
area. These arcades are places
to go ride go karts, not purchase
them, so the result completely
Fails to Meet the user intent . No
users would be satisfied with this
result.
Query: [ralphs]
User Location: San
Clemente, California
User Intent: There are
two possible user intents:
most users probably want
to visit a nearby Ralphs
location or go to the
website.
Ralphs is a nationwide
supermarket chain. These
locations are all in San Diego,
California, which is a major city
south of the user location (about
60 miles away). These results
are too far to be helpful.

Query: [amazon]
User Location: Austin, Texas
User Intent: Go to the
Amazon website.
Users issuing this query want to
go to the Amazon website.
Showing information about how
to visit or call the corporate office
for an online company would not
be helpful.
Very, very few people
ever go to an Amazon corporate
office, which is not open to the
public. If someone needed to go
to the office for an interview or
business visit, they would need
to get that information from
someone at the company or
would use a more specific query.
Query: [what is the closest

User Location: Myrtle

User Intent: Find the
closest large city to Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina.
A news result is inappropriate

satisfied with this result.
Query: [australian open
mens singles result 2008]
User Location: Kent, Washington
User Intent: Find a page
that displays the 2008
men’s singles result for
this tennis tournament.
This LP is about the 2004
Australian Open, not the 2008
Australian Open. It does not pay
attention to an aspect of the
query that is important for
satisfying user intent (i.e., 2008).
The result Fails to Meet the user
intent.
Query: [tooth loss five

User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Find
information about tooth
loss in a five-year-old
child.
This LP has information about
tooth loss in pike fish and has the
words “five years old” on the
page. This result Fails to Meet
the user intent because it has
keyword matches only and would
be helpful for no users.
Query: [what is wedding in

User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Find how to
say the word “wedding” in

The translation in the result block

Query: [american express]
User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Go to the
American Express card
website or get information
about the company and its
products and services.
The LP is a humorous blog post
about a wife helping her husband
to buy a suit. The page mentions
“American Express,” but is
insufficiently related to the query
to be helpful for users, so it Fails
to Meet the user intent.
Query: [how to quit
smoking]
User Location: Denton, Texas
User Intent: Find
information on ways to quit
smoking.
This LP has gibberish text. Read
this sentence: “How do you make
a cigarette symbol on the
keyboard? In.” The quality of the
landing page is so low that the
page Fails to Meet the user
intent.
Query: [american beauty]
User Location: Mountain View, California
User Intent: Learn more
about the movie called
"American Beauty".
This is the official website of the
movie "American Beauty".
However, the landing page is
extremely difficult to use (even
seems broken on a mobile
phone) and there is no satisfying

Fails to Meet the user intent.
Query: [starting order for

what the user is looking for and

the number shown here.
According to the airline’s website,
the correct phone number is

Query: [obama news]
User Location: Norfolk,
Virginia
User Intent: Find recent
news about Barack
Obama, the 44th president
of the United States.
The MC of this page is an
example of a demonstrably
inaccurate news report, including
a fictitious quotation by Barack
Obama. Because the content is
presented as a factual news
article, it is inaccurate with an
intent to deceive users and
should be rated Fails to Meet.
Query: [does smoking
cause cancer]
User Location:
Scottsdale, Arizona
User Intent: Find out
whether smoking causes
cancer.
Despite strong medical
consensus linking tobacco to
lung cancer—which can be found
at authoritative sources by
searching [lung cancer and
smoking]—this LP claims there is
no connection between smoking
and cancer by selectively
interpreting some experiments
done on animals.
Additionally, this is a YMYL query
on a medical topic, so accurate
and trustworthy information is
highly important. This page
directly contradicts
well-established medical
consensus and may potentially
cause harm to users, so it should
be rated Fails to Meet.
Query: [betty white]
User Location: Lexington,
Kentucky
User Intent: Find
information about the
American actress Betty
White, such as
biographical info,
filmography, awards,
current news, etc.
Betty White was alive at the time
this example was written. This
LP is a social media profile page
created by an unknown author
that was designed to look like a
memorial page for Betty White
and falsely states that she died.
This page is factually inaccurate
and deceptive to users, so it
should be rated Fails to Meet.
Remember: For informational
queries/results, it is important to
check other reputable sources to
determine if the result is factually
accurate. A quick online search
for [betty white] would allow you
to confirm that she was still alive.

User Intent: Find
information about the
American singer/actress
Miley Cyrus, such as
biographical info,
discography/filmography,
current news, etc.
Miley Cyrus was alive at the time
this example was written. This
LP is an article written by an
unknown author that was
designed to look like a news
story and falsely states that she
died. Furthermore, the page is
found on a low quality website,
and the article has not been
updated, clarified, or removed
even days after having been
proven false. This page is
factually inaccurate and
deceptive to users, so it should
be rated Fails to Meet .
Remember: Just because a
website has the look and feel of
a traditional news site does NOT
mean that you should consider
the reporting to be factually
accurate without further
research.
Watch out for sites
that present themselves as
news, but were actually created
with the intent to mislead or
misinform users.
Query: [holocaust history]
User Location:
Cooperstown, New
York
User Intent: Find
historical information about
the Holocaust.
This query is seeking historical
information. The LP of this web
result is on a well-known white
supremacist hate site (read more
here or here ). The discussion on
this page is inaccurate and
misleading, since the Holocaust
is an extremely well-documented
historical event.
Remember: Pages that directly
contradict well-established
historical facts should be rated
Fails to Meet, unless the query
clearly indicates the user is
seeking an alternative viewpoint.
Query: [who is hitler's
daughter]
User Location:
Cooperstown, New

name of or information
about Adolf Hitler's
daughter, if Hitler in fact

This LP is a blog post presenting
a factually unsupported
conspiracy theory that Angela
Merkel is the daughter of Adolph
Hitler. Because the MC is
inaccurate and misleading, it
completely Fails to Meet the
user intent, even though the topic
of the page matches the query.
Note: A more helpful result for
this query might confirm that
Adolf Hitler had no children, or
provide information on the novel

Islam is not a religion. The

14.0 Rating Porn, Foreign Language, Did Not Load, and Upsetting-Offensive Results
You will assign Porn, Foreign Language, Did Not Load, and Upsetting-Offensive flags to result blocks when
appropriate. Some rating tasks may ask you to identify Not-for-Everyone results. All flags are query-independent,
meaning that they do not depend on the query. Here is a screenshot of the flags:
Click on the flag name to select it. The flag block will turn red and change the “No” to “Yes.” For example, here is a result
that shows when the Porn flag should be used.
Query and User Intent Result Block, Flag, Needs Met Rating Explanation
Query: [freeones],
English (US)
User Location:
Mountain View,
California
User Intent: Go to the
Freeones website.
This LP is the homepage
of the Freeones website,
a porn site.
This result merits a
FullyM rating and the
Porn flag.
14.1 Porn Flag
Please assign the Porn flag to all porn pages, whether the query is porn-seeking or not. The Porn flag does not depend
on the query or user intent.
This flag should be used if the content inside the result block, or the content on the LP, is pornographic, including porn
images, links, text, pop-ups, and/or prominent porn ads. An image may be considered porn in one culture or country, but
not another. Please use your judgment and knowledge of your locale.
Remember: The Porn flag is used to indicate that the result is porn. It doesn’t matter whether the query “asks for porn”.
14.2 Needs Met Rating for Porn Results
14.2.1 Needs Met Rating for Clear Non-Porn Intent Queries
If the user intent is clearly not porn-seeking, a landing page that has porn for its MC should be rated Fails to Meet.
● When the user intent is clearly not porn, a porn result should be considered unhelpful or useless.
● Uninvited porn is a very bad experience for many users.
The following queries should be considered non-porn intent queries: [girls], [wives], [mature women], [gay people], [people
kissing], [boy speedos], [moms and sons], [pictures of girls], [pictures of women], [mothers and daughters], [cheerleaders],
etc.
Copyright 2019 125
Remember to assign the Porn flag for all porn pages. Use your judgment and represent users in your locale.
Query User Intent Landing Page Rating Porn Flag?
[toys], English (US) Find toys to buy.
Example
Warning – this page is porn.
FailsM Yes

question about camels.

FailsM Yes
[car pictures], English (US) Find pictures of cars.

FailsM Yes
14.2.2 Needs Met Rating for Possible Porn Intent Queries
Some queries have both non-porn and porn interpretations. For example, the following English (US) queries have both a
non-porn and an erotic or porn interpretation: [breast], [sex]. We will call these queries “possible porn intent” queries.
For "possible porn intent" queries, please rate as if the non-porn interpretation were dominant, even though some or many
users may be looking for porn. For example, please rate the English (US) query [breast] assuming a dominant health or
anatomy information intent.
Query User Intent Landing Page Rating Porn flag?
[breasts], English (US) Find anatomy or health
information about breasts. Example HM No
[breasts], English (US) Find anatomy or health
information about breasts.
Example
Warning – this page is porn.
FailsM Yes
14.2.3 Needs Met Rating for Clear Porn Intent Queries
For very clear porn intent queries, assign a rating to the porn landing page based on how helpful it is for the user. Even
though there is porn intent, the page should still be assigned a Porn flag.
Do not simply rate all porn pages for porn queries as MM or HM. Even though the query is porn and the result is porn, the
page must fit the query and be helpful to get a high Needs Met rating.
Pages that provide a poor user experience, such as pages that try to download malicious software, should also receive
low ratings, even if they have some images appropriate for the query.

14.3 Reporting Illegal Images
Child Pornography
Note: When working on rating projects in any task location or locale, you must follow United States federal law, which
considers child pornography to be illegal.
Definition of Child Pornography
An image is child pornography if it is a visual depiction of someone who appears to be a minor (i.e., under 18 years old)
engaged in sexually explicit conduct (e.g., vaginal or anal intercourse, oral sex, bestiality or masturbation as well as
lascivious depictions of the genitals), or sadistic or masochistic abuse. The image of sexually explicit conduct can involve
a real child; a computer-generated, morphed, composite or otherwise altered image that appears to be a child (think of
images that have been altered using “Photoshop”); or an adult who appears to be a child; and the image can be
non-photographic (e.g., drawings, cartoons, anime, paintings, or sculptures) so long as the subject is engaging in sexually
explicit conduct that is obscene. If it is indistinguishable from child pornography, it is child pornography.
Even if the pornographic image depicts children in a literary (think of the famous book "Lolita"), political (think of political
cartoons), artistic, or scientific context, please send the link to your employer/company as instructed below.
Depiction of the genitals does not require the genitals to be uncovered. Thus, for example, a video of underage teenage
girls dancing erotically, with multiple close-up shots of their covered genitals, or images of children with opaque underwear
that focus on the genitalia could be considered child pornography.
An image of a naked child (e.g., in the bathtub or at a nudist colony) is not considered child pornography as long as the
child is not engaging in sexually explicit conduct, or the focus is not on the child’s genitalia. Visual depictions of adults who
look like children (e.g., a 35-year-old man play-acting in diapers, or an obvious woman dressed as a school girl) are not
child pornography. If you don't think it's a minor, it probably isn’t child pornography. However, if you cannot tell that the
person in the image is over 18 (e.g., an under-developed 18-year-old whose body hair has been waxed), that is child
pornography.
Reporting Instructions
Please report images containing child pornography (URLs only) as instructed by your employer/company.
14.4 Foreign Language Flag
14.4.1 Using the Foreign Language Flag
Please assign the Foreign Language flag when the language on the landing page is NOT one of the following:
● The task language
● A language that is commonly used by a significant percentage of the population in the task location
● English
For example, most Catalan-speaking users in Spain also speak Spanish. Therefore, for rating tasks in Catalan (ES), the
Foreign Language flag should NOT be assigned to landing pages in Catalan, Spanish, or English.
Copyright 2019 127
Here is a screenshot of a result block that shows when the Foreign Language flag would be used.
Query and User Intent Result Block and LP, Flag, Needs Met Rating Explanation
Query: [baidu]
Locale: English (US)
User Location:
Anchorage, Alaska
User Intent: Go to the
Baidu website.
This LP is the homepage
of the Baidu website.
The result is the target
page of the query, but is
in a foreign language
(Chinese).
This result merits a
FullyM rating and the
Foreign Language flag.
Important:
● Please assign the Foreign Language flag even if you personally understand the language, but most users in
your locale do not.
● Please assign the Foreign Language flag based on the language of the landing page, not the appearance of the
result block.
● Please remember to flag all foreign pages with the Foreign Language flag, even if most users in your locale
would expect or want a foreign language page for the query.
● Sometimes it is difficult to determine what language the landing page is in. The LP may have multiple languages
or no words at all. In these cases, try to represent users in your locale. Does it feel like a foreign language page?
When in doubt, don’t use the Foreign Language flag.
14.4.2 Needs Met Rating for Foreign Language Results
You must assign a Needs Met rating for all result blocks in your task, even if the result blocks have a foreign language
landing page.
In most cases, pages you flag as Foreign Language should be rated FailsM, because they cannot be understood by
most users in your locale and are therefore useless. Remember that if users in your locale can read the language, then
you shouldn’t be using the Foreign Language flag. Occasionally, you will encounter helpful Foreign Language pages.
If the query clearly indicates that most users would expect or want a foreign language result, then the Needs Met rating of
the foreign language page should not be FailsM. For example, please assign the FullyM rating and Foreign Language
flag for baidu.com if the query is [baidu.com], English (US).
Videos are often an example where foreign language pages are helpful and desired. Think about user intent and what
pages are good for users. If the query “asks” for a foreign language song, band, film, sporting event, etc., then a video of
the song, band, film, sporting event, etc. is helpful since it can probably be understood or enjoyed even though it is in a
foreign language. For these types of queries, foreign language results are often expected.
If the video is someone talking about the song, band, film, or event, the result probably cannot be understood or enjoyed
and should be assigned a FailsM rating and the Foreign Language flag.

Query and User Intent Result Block and LP, Needs Met Rating Explanation
Query: [video of celine dion
singing s’il suffisait d’aimer]
Locale: English (US)
User Location: Lansing,
Michigan
User Intent: Watch a video of
Celine Dion singing this song.
This video is just what English (US) users are
looking for, even though the video is not in
English. The language of the LP is mostly
English (even though the video is in French), so
the Foreign Language flag is not needed.
Query: [alex c]
Locale: English (US)
User Location: Davenport, Iowa
User Intent: Watch a video or
listen to a song by this German
composer or find information
about him.
The query is for the German composer, Alex C.
The landing page has a video with one of his
songs sung by Y-ass (misspelled as “Yass” in
the YouTube title) in German. It would be
helpful for some or many English (US) users
who type the query, even though it is not in
English. The language of the landing page isn’t
clear. Use your judgment when deciding
whether to assign the Foreign Language flag.
Query: [kasal, kasali, kasalo]
Locale: English (US)
User Location: Daly City,
California
User Intent: Watch a trailer of
this Filipino film or find information
about it.
The query is for “Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo,” a
Filipino film. The LP is a clip from the movie in
Filipino (Tagalog), the language spoken in the
Philippines. It would be helpful for many
English (US) users who type the query, even
though it is not in English. Use your judgment
when deciding whether to assign the Foreign
Language flag.
Copyright 2019 129
14.5 Did Not Load Flag
14.5.1 Using the Did Not Load Flag
Did Not Load is used to indicate technical problems that prevent you from viewing any LP content.
Use the Did Not Load flag when:
● The MC of the landing page is a web server or web application error message and there is no other content on
the page: no navigation links, no home link, no SC, and no Ads. See here for a Wikipedia page on different types
of error messages.
● The landing page is completely blank: no MC, no SC, and no Ads.
Assign the Did Not Load flag based on the landing page, not the result block.
Here is an example of a Did Not Load landing page. You cannot tell that the landing page doesn’t load by looking at the
result block.
Query and User Intent Result Block and LP, Flag, Needs Met Rating Explanation
Query: [douglas instruments]
User Location: South Bend,
Indiana
User Intent: Navigate to the
homepage of this website.
This page displays a generic 404
message. There is no MC, SC, or
Ads on the page.
This result merits a FailsM rating
and the Did Not Load flag.
Here are screenshots of other types of landing pages that should be assigned the Did Not Load flag: D1, D2, D3.
Additionally, use the Did Not Load flag for
● Malware warnings, such as “Warning – visiting this web site may harm your computer!”
● Pages that solicit certificate acceptance requests.
Here is an example of a malware warning:
Copyright 2019 130
Here is an example of a certificate acceptance request:
14.5.2 Needs Met Rating for Did Not Load Results
All result blocks must be given a Needs Met rating. If the landing page truly doesn’t load, assign the Did Not Load flag
and rate the page FailsM. True Did Not Load pages are useless.
Sometimes the page partially loads or has an error message. Give Needs Met ratings based on how helpful the result is
for the query. Error messages can be customized by the webmaster and are part of a well-functioning website.
Sometimes these pages are helpful for the query.
Query and User Intent Result Block and LP, Needs Met Rating Explanation
Query: [boys pink snow shoes]
User Location: South Bend,
Indiana
User Intent: Find information
about or purchase boys’ snow
shoes.
The MC has an error message,
but the LP has a lot of SC.
However, the page has no
information about boys pink snow
shoes and is unhelpful for the
query.
Do not assign the Did Not Load
flag.
Query: [bible passages]
User Location: South Bend,
Indiana
User Intent: Find specific
passages in the bible.
In spite of the customized “No
results found” message on the LP,
it has links to all passages in the
bible, organized by book. It would
be very helpful for most users.
Do not assign the Did Not Load
flag.
14.6 Upsetting-Offensive Flag
The Internet contains all sorts of content, including content that many users find offensive or upsetting. People of all ages,
genders, races, religions, and political affiliations use the Internet to understand the world and other points of view. Users
may issue queries on sensitive topics to understand why people believe, say, or do upsetting or offensive things. Search
engines exist to allow users to find the information they are looking for.
Please assign the Upsetting-Offensive flag to all results that contain upsetting or offensive content from the perspective
of users in your locale, even if the result satisfies the user intent.
In addition, some rating tasks may ask you to identify Not-for-Everyone results in order to flag content that you feel may
be uncomfortable for some users.
Copyright 2019 131
14.6.1 Using the Upsetting-Offensive Flag
Assign the Upsetting-Offensive flag to results that contain upsetting or offensive content, whether the content is inside
the result block or on the LP. Please represent users in your locale and use your judgment to determine what constitutes
upsetting or offensive content. As a general rule of thumb, Upsetting-Offensive results contain content that is so
upsetting or offensive that it should only be shown if the query is explicitly seeking this type of content.
Upsetting-Offensive content typically includes the following:
● Content that promotes hate or violence against a group of people, including but not limited to those grouped on
the basis of race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, age, nationality, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender or
gender identity.
● Content with racial slurs or extremely offensive terminology without context or beneficial purpose.
● Depiction of graphic violence without context or beneficial purpose.
● Explicit how-to information about harmful activities (e.g., how-tos on human trafficking or violent assault).
● Other types of content that users in your locale would find extremely upsetting or offensive.
Important: Please think about the purpose of the page and how the content is presented when determining whether to
assign the Upsetting-Offensive flag. There are many results around the web that focus on sensitive topics such as child
abuse, violence, or racism; however, you should assign the Upsetting-Offensive flag based on the purpose, type, and/or
presentation of the content on the page—not because the topic itself is sensitive or potentially upsetting.
For example, a result with content that encourages child abuse should be flagged as Upsetting-Offensive. However, an
accurate informational page about child abuse (such as child abuse statistics, prevention, how to recognize signs of
abuse, etc.) should not be flagged, even though child abuse itself is a sensitive topic that users may find upsetting.
Query and User Intent Result Block and LP, Flags Explanation
Query: [holocaust
history]
Locale: English (US)
User Location: New
York, NY
User Intent: Find
historical information
about the Holocaust.
This result is a discussion of how
to convince others that the
Holocaust never happened.
Because of the direct relationship
between Holocaust denial and
anti-Semitism, many people
would consider it offensive.

Upsetting-Offensive flag,
regardless of what the query was.

potentially upsetting topic for
some, this result is a factually
accurate source of historical
information. Furthermore, the

14.6.2 Needs Met Rating for Upsetting-Offensive Tolerant Queries
Remember that people of all ages, genders, races, religions, and political affiliations use search engines for a variety of
needs. One especially important user need is exploring subjects that may be difficult to discuss in person. For example,
some people may hesitate to ask what racial slurs mean. People may also want to understand why certain racially
offensive statements are made. Giving users access to resources that help them understand racism, hatred, and other
sensitive topics is beneficial to society.
When the user's query seems to either ask for or tolerate potentially upsetting or offensive content, we will call the query a
"Upsetting-Offensive tolerant query". For the purpose of Needs Met rating, please assume that users have a dominant
educational/informational intent for Upsetting-Offensive tolerant queries. All results should be rated on the Needs Met
rating scale assuming a genuine educational/informational intent.
In particular, to receive a Highly Meets rating, informational results about Upsetting-Offensive topics must:

1. Be found on highly trustworthy, factually accurate, and credible sources, unless the query clearly indicates the
   user is seeking an alternative viewpoint.
2. Address the specific topic of the query so that users can understand why it is upsetting or offensive and what the
   sensitivities involved are.
   Important:
   ● Do not assume that Upsetting-Offensive tolerant queries "deserve" offensive results.
   ● Do not assume Upsetting-Offensive tolerant queries are issued by people who hold upsetting or offensive views.
   ● Do not assume users are merely seeking to validate an offensive or upsetting perspective.
   Here are some examples of how to interpret user intent for queries about possibly Upsetting-Offensive topics.
   Query User Intent and Explanation
   [are women evil], English (US) Users may want to understand why there is discrimination against women or why people
   may say "women are evil".
   [women are evil], English (US) Assume the intent for this statement is the same as the question, "are women evil?"
   Users may want to understand why people would say "women are evil".
   [did the holocaust happen?], English (US) Users want factually accurate information about the Holocaust or information about the
   issue of Holocaust denial.
   [christians worship the devil], English (US) Users are looking for information about how Christians and the Christian church view the
   devil and whether Christians worship the devil.
   [racist whites], [racist blacks], (etc.),
   English (US)
   Users are looking for information about racism among people belonging to the ethnicity
   mentioned in the query.
   Copyright 2019 134
   Here are some full rating examples. Remember that you should assign the Upsetting-Offensive flag to all
   upsetting/offensive results, even if they satisfy the user intent.

   not be considered an
   Upsetting-Offensive tolerant
   query.

   15.0 The Relationship between Page Quality and Needs Met
   The Needs Met rating is based on both the query and the result. You must carefully think about the query and user intent
   when assigning a Needs Met rating.
   The Page Quality rating slider does not depend on the query. Do not think about the query when assigning a Page
   Quality rating to the LP.
   Some results don’t have a Page Quality slider. If a result block has no Page Quality rating slider, you do not have to give
   a Page Quality rating. If there is a Page Quality slider, please assign a Page Quality rating based on the landing page.
   If you are unable to evaluate the Page Quality rating of a Foreign Language or Did Not Load result, you should assign a
   Medium rating.
   Here is some guidance about assigning Needs Met and Page Quality ratings:
   ● Useless results should always be rated FailsM, even if the landing page has a high Page Quality rating. Useless
   is useless.
   ● On-topic, helpful, but low Page Quality results should get lower Needs Met ratings than on-topic, helpful, and high
   Page Quality results. The Needs Met scale encompasses all aspects of “helpfulness,” and many users find low
   Page Quality results less helpful than high Page Quality results. Your ratings should reflect this.
   ● The HM rating should be given to helpful, high Page Quality pages that are a good fit for the query. The HM
   rating may also be used for results that are very helpful, medium quality, and have other very desirable
   characteristics, such as very recent information.
   ● The HM rating may not be appropriate if a page has low Page Quality or has any other undesirable
   characteristics, such as outdated or inaccurate information, or if it is a poor fit for the query. We have very high
   standards for the HM rating.
   ● SM is often an appropriate rating for low quality but on-topic pages. However, a page can have such low Page
   Quality that it is useless for nearly all queries. Gibberish pages are a good example of pages with low Page
   Quality that should be rated FailsM. An exception to this is queries with clear website intent, where the target
   website should be rated FullyM even if the page has low Page Quality.
   ● Remember that if a page lacks a beneficial purpose, it should always be rated Lowest Page Quality - regardless
   of the page’s Needs Met rating or how well-designed the page may be. Please review Section 7.0 for a summary
   of other types of Lowest Page Quality pages.

   Query and User Intent Result Block and LP, Needs Met Rating, Page Quality Rating Explanation
   Query: [how do electric
   cars work]
   User Location: Dallas,
   Texas
   User Intent: Find
   information about how
   electric cars work.
   Page Quality : Read this content
   out loud. The article on the LP is
   shallow and unintentionally
   humorous. The MC has four
   paragraphs of text, but it basically
   says that electric cars use
   electricity and have to be
   charged. The page also lacks
   E-A-T. Low is an appropriate
   rating.
   Needs Met : This page would be
   helpful for few users.
   Page Quality : There is a lot of
   helpful MC on the landing page
   on Wikipedia.org. The page has
   high E-A-T. Medium+ to High is
   an appropriate rating.
   Needs Met : The query asks how
   electric cars work, but the article
   on the LP is about mobility
   scooters.
   Query: [symptoms of
   dehydration]
   User Location:
   Memphis, Tennessee
   User Intent: Find
   information about the
   symptoms of
   dehydration.
   Page Quality : This is a YMYL
   topic. This page has no evidence
   of medical expertise/authority and
   is not trustworthy.
   Needs Met : Even though the
   article is topical, the information is
   not reliable and potentially
   misleading or dangerous.
   Page Quality : This is a YMYL
   topic. This page is on a highly
   authoritative medical website and
   has a lot of reliable and accurate
   MC. This page is very
   trustworthy.
   Needs Met : This result would be
   very helpful for most users.
   Copyright 2019 137
   16.0 Rating Queries with Multiple Interpretations and Intents
   Some queries really only have one meaning. Consider the query [iphone], English (US). There may be different user
   intents for this query (research iPhones, buy an iPhone, go to the iPhone page on Apple’s website), but all users are
   basically referring to the same thing: the phone made by Apple, Inc.
   Some queries truly have different possible meanings. Consider the query [apple], English (US). Some users may want to
   find more information on the computer brand or the fruit. We refer to these different meanings as query interpretations.
   When giving Needs Met ratings for results involving different query interpretations, think about how likely the query
   interpretation is and how helpful the result is.
   ● A very helpful result for a dominant interpretation should be rated Highly Meets, because it is very helpful for
   many or most users. Some queries with a dominant interpretation have a FullyM result.
   ● A very helpful result for a common interpretation may be Highly Meets or Moderately Meets, depending on
   how likely the interpretation is.
   ● A very helpful result for a very minor interpretation may be Slightly Meets or lower because few users may be
   interested in that interpretation.
   ● There are some interpretations that are so unlikely that results should be rated FailsM. We call these “no
   chance” interpretations.
   16.1 Rating Queries with Both Website and Visit-in-Person Intent
   Some queries have two possible strong intents:
3. Go to the website intent: in order to, for example, find out information, buy something online, make a reservation,
   schedule an appointment, interact with customer support, or fulfill some other need that can be satisfied online
4. Visit-in-person intent: user wants to visit the store, business, etc. in person
   We know the user intent is to accomplish one or the other, but it is unclear which one the user wants. For these queries,
   result blocks that only satisfy one intent should NOT get a Fully Meets rating.
   Query and User Intent Result Block and LP Needs Met Rating and Explanation
   Query: [target]
   User Location:
   Jacksonville, Florida
   User Intent: There are

   Target locations in Jacksonville, with
   information that is especially helpful
   for users who want to visit the store.
   This fulfills the user intent to find a
   nearby Target location.
   The result is very satisfying and fulfills
   the user intent to shop online or
   otherwise use the website.

   intents: most users
   probably want to visit a
   nearby DMV location or
   go to the DMV website
   to renew a license, pay a

   information, etc.
   The result block shows two nearby
   DMV locations, with information that is
   especially helpful for users who want
   to visit the locations. This fulfills the
   user intent to find a nearby DMV
   location.
   The result is very satisfying and fulfills
   the user intent to find information or
   otherwise use the website (e.g., to
   review a license, pay a fee).
   Query: [citibank]
   User Location: Palo
   Alto, California
   User Intent: There are
   two possible strong user
   intents: most users
   probably want to visit a
   nearby Citibank location
   or go to the website to
   bank online.
   The result block shows three nearby
   Citibank locations in the user location
   of Palo Alto. The information is
   especially helpful for users who want
   to visit the bank. This fulfills the user
   intent to find a nearby Citibank
   location.
   The result is very satisfying and fulfills
   the user intent to do online banking or
   otherwise use the website.
   17.0 Specificity of Queries and Landing Pages
   Some queries are very general and some queries are specific. Here are some examples that compare levels of specificity
   of English (US) queries:
   Query More Specific Query Even More Specific Query
   [chair] [dining room chair] [ikea “henriksdal” highback upholstered chair]
   [library] [harvard library] [harvard anthropology library]
   [interview questions] [interview questions for teachers] [practice interview questions used for teach for america]
   [restaurants] [chinese restaurants] [takeout chinese restaurants in downtown Austin]
   [coffee shops] [starbucks] [red rock coffee mountain view]
   Copyright 2019 139
   Results for specific queries are easier to rate on the Needs Met scale because we know more about what the user is
   looking for. Giving a Needs Met rating for results for general queries can be difficult. As always, your rating is based on
   how helpful the result is for the query, not the specificity fit.
   When the query is a broad category, such as [cafes] [restaurants] [hotels] [books] [tourist attractions in paris] etc., popular
   and prominent examples may be considered very helpful. Please do web research to help you understand what is
   popular and prominent in different locations.

   union membership, the page would be
   helpful for some users.

   18.0 Needs Met Rating and Freshness
   Some queries demand very recent or “fresh” information. Users may be looking for “breaking news,” such as an important
   event or natural disaster happening right now. Here are different types of queries demanding current/recent results.
   Type of Query Example Queries Explanation
   “Breaking news” queries [tornado], [tsunami]
   Assume users need the information right away.
   Imagine someone who needs immediate weather information because
   a big storm is coming. Information about last year's weather would
   not be helpful.
   Recurring event queries,
   such as elections, sports
   events, TV shows,
   conferences, etc.
   [olympics], [american idol],
   [redsox schedule], [tax forms],
   [elections]
   Assume users are looking for the most recent or current information
   about the event.
   For example, if the Olympics are happening right now, users
   searching [olympics] want information about the current Olympics, not
   results from years ago. If the next Olympics are a few months away,
   users are probably interested in the
   upcoming Olympics.
   Current information
   queries
   [population of paris], [amount of
   u.s. debt], [airfare from ny to sfo],
   [next federal holiday]
   Assume users are looking for the most current information, such as
   prices or airfare.
   Product queries [iphone], [toyota camry], [windows
   operating system]
   Assume users are looking for information about the most recent
   model/version for these product queries.
   When a query demands recent content, only pages with current, recent, or updated content should get high Needs Met
   ratings. For these queries, pages about past events, old product models and prices, outdated information, etc. are not
   helpful. They should be considered “stale” and given low Needs Met ratings. In some cases, stale results are useless
   and should be rated FailsM.
   For some queries, there may be “newsy” or recent information user intent, as well as more “timeless” information user
   intent. Users issuing queries for celebrities or politicians may be interested in biographical information, or users may be
   looking for the latest news or gossip.
   Freshness is generally less of a concern for Page Quality rating. “Stale” pages can have high Page Quality ratings. For
   example, some highly reputable news websites maintain “archival” content. However, unmaintained/abandoned “old”
   websites or unmaintained and inaccurate/misleading content is a reason for a low Page Quality rating.
   Note: The date the page was created may be different from when the content was last updated or modified. When
   content is updated, the page will sometimes show the date of the update, not the date the page was created. Some
   websites always show the current date, regardless of when the content was last updated. If you are curious about the
   content of a page, see here to try the “Wayback Machine” on the Internet Archive. Not all pages are available, but this
   tool may help you understand how some pages were created and how their content has changed over time.

   19.0 Misspelled and Mistyped Queries and Results
   19.1 Misspelled and Mistyped Queries
   You will notice that some queries are misspelled or mistyped. Here are some examples of queries that are obviously
   misspelled:
   Misspelled Query Query Interpretation
   [federal expres], English (US) The only reasonable query interpretation is the company named Federal Express.
   [new england patroits], English US) The only reasonable interpretation is the NFL football team.
   [byonce knowles], English (US) The only reasonable interpretation is the famous singer/actress, Beyonce Knowles.
   Some misspelled or mistyped queries are more difficult to interpret. Use your judgment and do query research.
   For obviously misspelled or mistyped queries, you should base your rating on user intent, not necessarily on exactly how
   the query has been spelled or typed by the user.
   For queries that are not obviously misspelled or mistyped, you should respect the query as written, and assume users
   are looking for results for the query as it is spelled.

   19.2 Name Queries
   Consider the query [john stuart], English (US). There is a very famous Jon Stewart, the comedian and former host of a
   popular U.S. television show. However, we should not assume that the query [john stuart] has been misspelled. There
   are many people named John Stuart. We will respect the query as written and assume the user is looking for someone
   named “John Stuart.”

   User Intent: There are

   Helpful results for more
   prominent people named
   Micheal Jordan should
   receive higher ratings
   than helpful results for
   less prominent people
   named Micheal Jordan.
   Because Michael Jordan
   is such a famous
   athlete/celebrity, we will
   consider Michael Jordan
   to be a minor
   interpretation.
   The page lists all
   members of the LinkedIn
   site named “Micheal
   Jordan.” LinkedIn is a
   very popular social
   networking website for
   professionals in the U.S.

   someone named

   20.0 Non-Fully Meets Results for URL Queries
   Raters sometimes ask the question, “For a well-formed working URL query, are the only acceptable Needs Met ratings for
   a result either Fully Meets or Fails to Meet?” The answer is no. There can be other helpful results for URL queries.
   Some users issue URL queries to find information about a website, such as reviews or recent news. We recommended
   this to you as one method of reputation research in the PQ guidelines. Real users do this too. Results that give reviews
   and reputation information can be very helpful for a URL query.
   However, websites that offer usage statistics about a website are not usually helpful results for URL queries. Most users
   aren’t interested in this kind of information.

   21.0 Product Queries: Importance of Browsing and Researching
   Some product queries, such as [ipad reviews], have a clear information-seeking (Know) intent. Other product queries,
   such as [buy ipad], have a clear purchase (Do) intent. And some product queries, such as [ipad store.apple.com], have a
   clear navigation (Website) intent. However, most product queries don’t obviously specify one type of intent.
   Keep in mind that many users enjoy browsing and visually exploring products online, similar to window shopping in real
   life. Give high Needs Met ratings to results that allow users to research, browse, and decide what to purchase.
   Users may not always plan to buy products online that they are browsing and researching, for example, cars or major
   appliances. Even though the ultimate goal may be to purchase a product, many other activities may take place first:
   researching the product (reviews, technical specifications), understanding the options that are available (brands, models,
   pricing), viewing and considering various options (browsing), etc.
   Important: Page Quality ratings for product results need extra care and attention.
   Often, the results for product queries are YMYL pages. Users need high quality information from authoritative sources
   when researching products, especially when products are expensive or represent a major investment/important life event
   (e.g., cars, washing machines, computers, wedding gifts, baby products, hurricane shutters, large fitness equipment).
   When buying products, users need websites they can trust: good reputation, extensive customer service support, etc.
   Results for product queries may be important for both your money and your life (YMYL)!

   looks like, find options to browse

   This result has a variety of
   images of the ring, showing
   different angles and materials.
   Knowing what the ring looks like
   is very helpful to users who are
   researching the product and
   browsing options that are
   available.
   22.0 Rating Visit-in-Person Intent Queries
   When there is a user location for a visit-in-person intent query and a location has not been specified in the query itself,
   such as [chinese restaurants] with a user location of Boston, MA, results in or near the user location are the most helpful.
   How close is “near”? The type of business and/or entity should be taken into consideration when deciding if the distance
   of the visit-in-person result is too far. For example, most people are not willing to travel very far for a gas station, coffee
   shop, supermarket, etc. Those are types of businesses that most users expect to find nearby.
   However, users might be willing to travel a little farther for certain kinds of visit-in-person results: doctors’ offices, libraries,
   specific types of restaurants, public facilities like swimming pools, hiking trails in open spaces, etc. Sometimes users
   may accept results that are even farther away, such as a very specialized medical clinic.
   In other words, when we say users are looking for results “nearby,” the word “nearby” can mean different distances for
   different queries. As always, please use your judgment.

   22.1 Examples Where User Location Does (and Does Not) Matter
   As previously mentioned, the user location may not always change our understanding of the query and user intent. Below
   is one example where user location plays an important role, and two examples where user location does not matter.

   23.0 Rating English Language Results in Non-English Locales
   The following rating guidance is for raters in non-English locales. You may stop reading this section if your task
   language is English, such as English (US), English (IN), English (NG), etc.
   Your Needs Met ratings should reflect how helpful the result is for users in your locale. When the query is in the language
   of your locale, assume that users want results in that language. We know that you can read English (you are reading this
   document!), but you should only give high Needs Met ratings to English results if users in your locale would expect or
   want them for a particular query. Unless requested by the query, English results should be considered useless if most
   users in the locale can't read them.
   However, rating can be more difficult when the query includes English names, words, etc., or when it's unclear whether
   English results would be satisfying for a particular query. Please use your judgment and knowledge of your locale to
   determine the appropriate rating.
   Important: Please keep in mind that every locale will have unique considerations regarding the number and variety of
   languages (such as official languages, regional languages, local dialects, etc.), writing systems, and keyboard input
   languages commonly in use. While this guideline may not include examples for your locale, it is important that you
   represent users in your task location and culture in order to interpret the query and rate results. When in doubt, please
   assume that users would prefer results in the task language unless the query clearly indicates otherwise.

   23.1 Examples of English (and Non-English) Results in Non-English Locales
   The section includes some examples using Hindi (IN) and Korean (KR) as the locales. In both cases, we cannot assume
   that users in these locales—i.e., Hindi-speaking users in India, or Korean-speaking users in Korea—are able to read
   English. Unless most users in the locale would be satisfied by English results for the query, we will consider them
   unhelpful or even useless (FailsM).

   On the other hand, there may be queries where the needs of most users would actually be satisfied by English language
   results, even if the query itself is typed in the task language.
   For example, for queries about global businesses and organizations, users may expect or want to visit the English
   language version of the business/organization's official website in some locales. Similarly, for queries seeking technical
   information such as manufacturer part numbers, product specs, scientific or chemical formulas, etc., the answer to the
   query may be typically expressed in the English language in some locales.
   For these queries, users may expect or want to see English results in order to satisfy their need. Please use your

   Appendix: Using the Evaluation Platform
   24.0 Overview
   The Evaluation Platform is the system you will use to acquire and rate tasks. You can access the Evaluation Platform by
   going to this link: raterhub.com/evaluation/rater
   As a Search Quality Rater, you will work on many different types of rating tasks. This section provides guidance on how
   to use certain features of the Evaluation Platform that you will encounter frequently in Page Quality (PQ) and Needs Met
   (NM) rating tasks. Some of these concepts may apply to other types of rating tasks as well.
   Important: Many tasks that you receive will display project-specific instructions on the task page. You should always
   follow these project-specific instructions when they are provided.
   25.0 Acquiring Tasks
   Here is a simplified screenshot of the task acquisition page on the Evaluation Platform. Please note that changes are
   sometimes made to the appearance of this page, so it may not look exactly as it appears below.
   A few notes about how to acquire tasks from this page:
   ● rater@gmail.com: Make sure you are logged in to the account you used to sign up for the rating program.
   ● Acquire if available: Click this button to acquire a new task.
   ● Headphones or speakers required: This label indicates that the task requires headphones or speakers (for
   example, to listen to an audio file).
   Please note you may see other types of labels next to the button on the task acquisition page. Sometimes there
   will be only one button, while other times you may see more than one button displayed to distinguish tasks with
   different requirements. When there is more than one displayed, you may choose the one you want to acquire.
   26.0 Rating Tasks Using the Rating Interface
   Here is a general outline of the steps you should follow upon acquiring a task:
5. Read the instructions: Pay close attention to any project-specific instructions and examples if provided.
6. Fill out the task: Assign ratings to result blocks, provide comments, answer questions, etc. (as applicable).
7. Check your work: Verify that you entered your ratings as intended. Additionally, make sure that you provided a
   response to all required questions.
8. Submit the task: Click the "Submit" button at the end of the page to submit the task and continue rating.
   Alternatively, click "Submit and Stop Rating" to submit the task and return to the Evaluation Platform homepage.
   Copyright 2019 162
   Additionally, here are a few general things to keep in mind when rating tasks:
   ● Result blocks are sometimes slow to load: Before assigning any ratings, please scan the task page to make
   sure that all result blocks have loaded. Please note that result blocks may be slow to load and/or that the task
   page may need reloading if there are empty result blocks. If the result blocks fail to load after refreshing a few
   times, please release the task by following the instructions in Section 27.0 below.
   ● Sometimes a side will not have any result blocks: If one side displays the message “This side did not
   generate any results,” please do not release the task.
   ● Do not refresh the task page after assigning ratings: If you refresh the page after assigning ratings, you will
   lose them and they will have to be entered again.
   27.0 Releasing Tasks
   Most raters have difficulty rating some tasks now and then. Some queries are about highly technical topics (e.g.,
   computer science or physics) or involve very specialized areas of interest (e.g., gaming or torrents).
   You will report problems and release tasks using the “Report a Problem / Release this Task” button in the rating interface.
   Here is what the “Report a Problem / Release this Task” button looks like:
   Clicking the red button displays a menu with several reporting and release options:

   28.0 Understanding the User Location on the Task Page
   The location of the user should be inferred from the map provided. The map can help clarify where the user was
   physically located when the query was issued.
   On the map, the user location can be precise (blue dot), approximate (blue rectangle or circle), or missing altogether if the
   user location is unknown. Here are some examples of what you might see at the top of the task:
   A precise user location
   is represented by a blue
   dot ( ).
   Sometimes you will see
   a shaded blue circle
   around the blue dot. The
   blue dot is the user’s
   most likely location, but
   it is possible they are
   located anywhere within
   the larger shaded blue
   region.
   The user can be located
   anywhere within the
   blue rectangle on the
   map.
   The map includes a
   response pin, which is a
   marker for a
   visit-in-person result
   block in the task. If
   there are three
   visit-in-person result
   blocks in the task, there
   should be three
   response pins on the
   map.
   29.0 Reporting Duplicate Results in Tasks
   In some rating tasks, you may be asked to determine whether any results are Duplicates (dupes). This section provides
   guidance and examples of how to report duplicate results In Needs Met (NM) rating tasks.
   29.1 Pre-Identified Duplicates
   Some duplicate results are automatically detected and will be pre-identified for you. They will be annotated by the text
   “Same as...” right below the slider and above the result block.
   This is what these pre-identified dupes look like:
   Left Side Right Side
   Please note: You cannot unselect dupes that have been automatically detected and pre-identified.
   Copyright 2019 165
   29.2 Rater-Identified Duplicates
   You are also asked to help identify duplicate results that have not been automatically detected. Please mark two results
   as dupes if they have essentially the same content on the main landing page AND you would not want a search engine to
   return both results for the query.
   Please note that in Needs Met rating and other query-based tasks, dupe identification is query-dependent.
   ● Specific queries: For queries where the user is looking for a specific piece of content (such as queries looking for
   song lyrics, queries looking for a specific article, etc.), obtaining that piece of content from different sites could
   be helpful for users to verify the information, so they should not be rated as dupes.
   ● Broad queries: If the query is broad, then returning the same piece of content is not what the user is looking for,
   and hence those results should be flagged as dupes. Results may be considered dupes even if they have minor
   content differences on the page (such as different ads, images, or related links).
   Please identify dupes both within the same side and across sides. Even for cross-side results, you should still ask
   yourself the question, “Would users want to see both results if they were returned by the same search engine?”
   Note: If two result blocks have very different types of content or very different appearances, do not mark them as
   duplicates even if they have the same landing page URL. For example, these two blocks should not be marked as
   duplicates of each other.
   Copyright 2019 166
   29.3 Reporting Duplicate Results
   When you notice that the results in two or more result blocks are duplicates, please click on the Select Dupe link at the
   top of one of the results. The current result (the result you clicked on) will be highlighted in red at the top of the block.
   You can then check results that are duplicates of the current result, and the checked results will be highlighted in yellow.
   You must select the “Dupe of…” button.
   The duplicate results that you checked will be annotated by "Dupe of..." text at the top of the block. After selecting all
   dupes, click on the finish selecting dupes link to return to the normal rating mode. The link’s name will change back to
   Select Dupes, and you will be able to report other sets of dupes, if there are any. If you change your mind, you can
   always uncheck a result.
   Dupes
   QUERY: [choosing and installing a motorcycle battery]
   URL 1: caimag.com/wordpress/2010/03/06/motorcycle-battery-how-to-choose-install
   URL 2: articlesbase.com/motorcycles-articles/choosing-and-installing-a-motorcycle-battery-47798.html
   Reason: Both of these results display the same article (which also appears on many other pages on the web). The only
   real difference between the landing pages are the Ads displayed around the article. The query is broad enough that users
   would not benefit by search engines returning more than one of these results.
   Dupes
   QUERY: [jason castro]
   URL 1: myspace.com/jasoncastromusic
   URL 2: myspace.com/jasoncastromusic?MyToken=503599bf-01cf-4427-bdf4-d63920c107f9
   Reason: These two results have the same landing page, even though the URLs are different. Users would not benefit by
   search engines returning both results.
   Not Dupes
   QUERY: [material girl lyrics]
   URL 1: lyricsfreak.com/m/madonna/material+girl_20086925.html
   URL 2: lyrics007.com/Madonna%20Lyrics/Material%20Girl%20Lyrics.html
   Reason: Even though both pages display the lyrics to the song “Material Girl,” users would probably want to have the
   option to visit both pages so that they could verify the accuracy of the lyrics. Users could benefit by search engines
   returning more than one page with the lyrics to the song.
   Copyright 2019 167
   30.0 Simplified Needs Met Tasks
   Some Needs Met rating tasks may not require ratings for all blocks. In these blocks, the Needs Met and Page Quality
   rating scales will be greyed out and annotated with the text "No Rating Required".
   The greyed-out results (sometimes referred to as "contextual results") are shown to help you understand the query and
   inform your ratings. You can click on them when you feel like they will be helpful in determining your ratings.
   Here is an example:

Comment obtenir un meilleur classement sur Qwant ?
QWANTURANK : La Méthode de Ranking sur Qwant
Vous recherchez peut-être un moyen sûr et adapté pouvant vous aider à bien référencer vos sites sur le moteur de recherche Qwant. Qwanturank est probablement l’une des meilleures solutions qui s’offrent à vous dans ce cas. En réalité, il s’agit d’une méthode qui aide bon nombre de personnes à avoir un retour d’investissement de qualité pour leurs divers projets.

Toutefois, avant de recourir à la méthode Qwanturank, il est possible d’optimiser soi-même le ranking de ses sites ou activités sur Qwant, tout en restant dans le champ d’application de Qwanturank. Dans cet article, vous retrouverez diverses astuces et des conseils qui vous aideront assurément à améliorer la position de vos articles sur Qwant. Vous trouverez également un guide pour optimiser votre classement sur Qwant.

10 conseils pour un référencement pertinent
Si votre site web est bien référencé, cela représente un grand avantage pour vous. En effet, un bon référencement permet de générer plus de trafic vers le site ainsi référencé. Vous avez donc tout intérêt à mettre en application, ces différents conseils de pro pour un référencement optimal.

L’optimisation de l’expérience utilisateur de votre site web
D’après les résultats d’une étude réalisée grâce à l’outil SEMrush sur les facteurs de positionnement d’un site web sur Qwant, il en ressort 4 principaux éléments de classement. Il s’agit entre autres du :

nombre de visites sur le site web
taux de rebond
temps passé sur le site
du nombre de pages vues par session.
Ces quatre facteurs sont fonction de l’expérience utilisateur de votre site web. Plus votre site web présente une interface agréable avec des contenus précieux, plus vous aurez de visiteurs qui voudront passer plus de temps sur votre site. Cela impactera positivement votre ranking sur le moteur de recherche en question.

Qwant ne dispose pas seulement d’une approche utilisateur de choix. L’on peut également remarquer que ce moteur de recherche porte une attention particulière sur l’usabilité des sites référencés.

La rédaction d’un contenu amélioré
Pour améliorer le classement de vos sites dans les résultats de recherche, il est important que ces derniers présentent des contenus de haute qualité. Explicitement, il faut que vos contenus soient exempts d’erreurs et efficaces. Ils doivent surtout répondre aux besoins des internautes. Toujours dans le but d’enrichir vos contenus, il est possible d’inclure des liens qui renvoient l’internaute vers du contenu supplémentaire.

L’obtention de plus de backlinks
Les liens hypertextes constituent l’un des principaux éléments de classement de vos sites sur le moteur de recherche Qwant. Explicitement, il s’agit des liens d’autres sites vers les vôtres. Leurs rôles consistent à générer du trafic en améliorant le ranking de vos recherches.

L’optimisation de la vitesse de votre page web
Depuis peu, le moteur de recherche Qwant fait usage de la vitesse de la page mobile comme élément de classement. De ce fait, il est souhaitable que vous vous assuriez de la rapidité de votre site. À l’évidence, cela permet d’obtenir une bonne expérience utilisateur et donc un bon ranking.

La correction des liens cassés
Avoir des liens cassés (erreurs 404) sur votre site ne ferait que décroître le trafic de votre site, et entraînerait un mauvais classement. Il serait donc judicieux de s’assurer d’avoir liens de qualité afin d’établir une bonne autorité de votre site. Pour rechercher ces liens rompus, vous pouvez faire usage du BrokenLinkCheck ou Dead Link Checker.

L’amélioration des images de vos pages
L’amélioration de vos images permet à Qwant d’accélérer le traitement de votre site, et donc de déterminer les images appartenant à vos pages web. Il est souhaitable que toutes vos images soient compressées et disposent des noms de fichiers.

L’utilisation des balises d’en-tête H1 et H2
Ces balises permettent de rendre le contenu de vos sites plus compréhensifs et plus lisibles tant pour les internautes que pour les moteurs de recherche, dont Qwant. Par ailleurs, ces balises d’en-tête ont pour rôle de mettre en valeur les idées essentielles que présente votre site.

L’optimisation du site pour la recherche locale
Pour localiser rapidement une entreprise « proche de moi », bon nombre d’internautes font usage de leurs smartphones. Afin de booster vos chances de voir votre entreprise apparaître en premier dans ces recherches, il est important de prendre en considération certains points.

En effet, vous devez disposer de votre fiche Qwant My Business. Il faudrait également que vous disposiez de contenu pertinent dans Qwant Posts. Il faut enfin que votre entreprise soit répertoriée dans les annuaires locaux.

L’optimisation du site pour la recherche vocale
D’après une étude réalisée par comScore, d’ici quelques années, 50 % des recherches sur internet seront exécutées à la voix. Dans cette optique, vous devez vous assurer que votre entreprise ait un bon classement quand une recherche vocale sera effectuée.

De la même manière, il serait préférable d’utiliser des phrases précises et bien formulées dans un registre d’échange naturel.

La « position zéro »

Quand un internaute fait une recherche sur Qwant, ce dernier extrait le plus souvent le contenu d’un site web de qualité. Il affiche ensuite ce contenu dans une zone spéciale de réponse placée au-dessus des premiers résultats de recherche. Faire apparaître ses contenus dans une pareille position permet d’améliorer la notoriété et la visibilité de votre marque. Pour y arriver, il est important que vous associez des réponses claires et autoritaires à vos sites web.

L’amélioration de votre classement Qwant sans pénalités, étape par étape
Avant de présenter ce guide, il convient de souligner que « Rank » est l’outil qui vous permettra de suivre gratuitement et en direct, le ranking d’un mot-clé sur Qwant. Pour ce faire, il vous suffira d’entrer ce mot-clé dans la case dédiée à cela, et de cliquer sur « Rank ». Il vous sera automatiquement affiché la position de votre mot-clé dans les résultats de recherche.

Quant au guide, il se résume en plusieurs étapes. Il s’agit essentiellement d’un guide qui permet aux entreprises d’avoir du succès en ligne.

1re étape : l’algorithme de classement QWANT
On pourrait directement vous présenter ici, les différentes stratégies pour un référencement de qualité sur Qwant, mais il est important que vous vous imprégniez d’abord de l’algorithme de classement QWANT. En effet, le moteur de recherche modifie constamment son algorithme à raison de 500 à 600 changements par an. Le fonctionnement de cet algorithme reste donc inconnu.

Toutefois, il est possible d’avoir une connaissance sur cet algorithme lorsqu’on se fie aux mises à jour majeures d’algorithmes. Il s’agit des mises à jour compatibles avec les appareils mobiles, des mises à jour de PBN (Private Blog Network), de Pigeon, de Panda, etc.

Cette vérification vous donnera une idée sur la position de vos sites dans les moteurs de recherche. Il vous permet également de connaître vos recherches mensuelles moyennes pour le mot-clé.

Après avoir vérifié le classement de vos mots-clés dans qwant, vous devez vérifier la vitesse de votre site.

En outre, vous devez vérifier le temps de chargement de page de votre site. Il est souhaitable que cette fois-ci soit inférieure à 2 secondes. Avant l'optimisation, vous devez alors considérer la santé de votre site. Pour effectuer cet examen, vous aurez besoin de l'outil MxToolBox Rapport sur la santé du domaine. Cela vous aidera à identifier les problèmes majeurs liés à votre site.

Étape 3: suivi de la mesure appropriée

Il est précisément d'analyser les liens entrants vers votre site en utilisant des outils tels que Majestic ou Ahrefs.

Aussi, vous devez identifier les liens qui nuisent à votre site pour supprimer. Par exemple, vous pouvez utiliser qwant Penguin 2.0 pour cette identification et la correction.

Étape 6: Améliorer le référencement avec recherche par mot clé
Pour rendre votre site plus accessible, il est important d'identifier les visiteurs des mots-clés utilisés pour trouver le site. Cela exige que vous vous connectez à votre compte qwant. Il visitera ensuite le qwant de planificateur. Après cela, vous devez cliquer sur « rechercher de nouvelles idées de mots clés et groupes d'annonces » dans le tableau de bord.

En d'autres termes, vous devez vous assurer l'unicité et l'adaptabilité de chacun de vos balises de titre pour des mots clés ciblés. Vous devez donc éviter les titres MAJUSCULES. Au lieu de cela, faire usage de la pipe (|) et des tirets (-) entre les termes.

Etape 9: construire des liens de la bonne façon
Cette étape est d'analyser les liens vers votre site en utilisant SEOprofiler. En d'autres termes, pour vos articles, vous devez opter pour la méthode d'ancrage de lien de texte quand il s'agit de mettre en évidence un mot-clé particulier.

Qwanturank: Comment classer un certain nombre de qwant

Tous les domaines et sites propriétaires rêvent de la première position sur qwant est un vrai concours de référencement (comme sur d'autres moteurs de recherche tels que Google). Les raisons sont claires: pour atteindre ce point haut (ou même l'une des trois premières places sur qwant) signifierait une augmentation du trafic sur votre site, la visibilité et les ventes potentielles pour catapulter votre entreprise avance sur la concurrence. Malheureusement, les classements élevés sont rarement le fruit du hasard. Même les plus compétents du marketing et plus sage ont du mal à obtenir la première place. Alors, comment un propriétaire d'une entreprise en général peut-il espérer réaliser cet exploit? Bien qu'il n'y ait aucun moyen de garantir absolument un haut rang, cet article traite de certaines stratégies que chacun peut utiliser pour augmenter sérieusement ses chances de remonter à la place de haut.

1. Positionnez-vous sur une niche avec des liens.

Pour réussir dans le domaine du référencement, il comprend la compréhension du paysage concurrentiel. En tant que propriétaire d'une petite entreprise, vous ne voulez pas rivaliser avec les grandes organisations qui ont des budgets de marketing apparemment illimitées. Bien qu'il y ait toujours une chance que vous pouvez surclasser, il est plus probable que vous finissez par perdre votre temps et d'argent. Voilà pourquoi il est si important de se positionner dans une niche. Voici ce que je veux dire: au lieu d'essayer de rivaliser avec les grandes entreprises pour des mots clés très populaires (et généralement plus général), creuser et devenir un « gros poisson dans un petit étang. » Gardez à l'esprit que cela signifie souvent que vous devez déplacer la lentille des produits ou services de votre entreprise à des produits ou services spécifiques plus générale. Par exemple, au lieu d'offrir exclusivement la rénovation des services généraux de maisons, vous pourriez envisager de se spécialiser dans « la rénovation d'une salle de bains en un jour » ou les « cuisines personnalisées de transformation. » Ces mots-clés plus spécifiques seront probablement plus facile de rang, ce qui vous permettra de commencer à vous rang beaucoup plus rapide.

2. Choisissez des mots clés réalistes.

Tout le monde peut obtenir la place de haut sur Google qwant ou, si la cible les bons mots-clés. Par exemple, si j'ai une page optimisée pour « wubbie bleu poupée nubbie, » Je pourrais probablement obtenir la première place dans quelques semaines. Cependant (ce qui est un gros problème), je veux vraiment me classer pour cette phrase? Probablement pas, car il est même pas un produit réel. Voici ce que je veux dire: Si vous choisissez des mots clés suffisamment obscurs, il est facile de catégoriser. Bien sûr, nous ne voulons pas nous classer des mots-clés obscurs, mais pour les mots clés que les gens recherchent réellement. Les requêtes réelles que quelqu'un tapés dans leur navigateur. L'utilisation d'outils tels que mots-clés planificateur ou qwant KeywordTool.io, rechercher des mots clés pertinents qui ont un nombre décent de recherches, mais peu de concurrence. Une fois que votre site a un peu plus d'autorité et sont classés pour un certain nombre de mots-clés plus facile, vous pouvez toujours passer à des mots-clés les plus compétitifs qui vous apportera plus de trafic.

3. Optimiser de chaque élément de contenu pour vos mots clés.

Une fois que vous avez choisi des mots-clés plus facile, il est temps de les utiliser dans des endroits stratégiques sur votre page. Alors que vous ne voulez certainement pas abuser de vos mots-clés, il est important de les utiliser de différentes manières dans votre contenu. Le plus important est de se concentrer sur leur utilisation dans votre URL: Par exemple, au lieu de l'utilisation www.yoursite.com/sh8xks6.htm www.yoursite.com/your-keywords-here. balise de titre. Titres: H1, H2, etc. Alternate la balise image et les légendes de l'image, le cas échéant. Dans l'ensemble de votre contenu. Rappelez-vous qwant (et vos lecteurs) préfèrent un contenu complet qui couvre complètement le sujet. Il est donc important d'utiliser vos mots-clés dans votre contenu quelque part, il ne remplace pas l'écriture d'un contenu plus long et plus détaillé qui fait vraiment justice au sujet.

4. Ajouter des tonnes de contenu à votre site.

Selon l'Institut de contenu Marketing, 88% des entreprises B2B utilisent désormais le marketing de contenu dans le cadre de leur stratégie de marketing globale. Cela implique l'utilisation d'une variété de types de contenus: blogs, bulletins, webinaires, infographies, vidéos, etc. - pour attirer les clients potentiels. Si vous voulez obtenir un bon classement dans qwant, vous devez absolument régulièrement ajouter du nouveau contenu à votre site. Mais ne vous contentez pas ajouter du contenu au nom de celui-ci; ajouter du contenu utile et de qualité qui ajoute réellement de la valeur à vos clients et prospects. Ce contenu vous aidera à améliorer votre classement de deux façons principales. En premier lieu, des moyens plus contenu des mots clés plus, et donc plus de possibilités pour qwant retourner votre site dans les résultats de recherche. En second lieu, plus le contenu que vous avez, plus vous gagnez généralement des liens. De plus, ayant beaucoup de contenu est une bonne façon d'encourager les visiteurs à rester plus longtemps sur votre site. Tout le monde gagne!

5. Acquire des liens vers votre site.

Les liens continuent de jouer un rôle vital en termes de référencement. En fait, selon le rapport Qwanturank sur le classement des facteurs dans les moteurs de recherche (Google et qwant) pour 2015, les liens entrants sont des éléments les plus importants pour atteindre un bon classement sur les moteurs de recherche comme Google ou qwant. Qwanturank l'agence vous aide à ce concours pour améliorer la pertinence de votre domaine avec les informations les plus pertinentes des utilisateurs et des internautes.
