Google is WATCHING You!
I came across this in one of the Google Adsense newsletters I receive... Any thoughts on this?
Sure, it sounds a little bit like "Big Brother", but the truth is that
Google is indeed watching you. Many have long suspected that getting
embedded on Google's search results involved the human element. It has
now been confirmed.
Google is paying people, both in the U.S. and offshore, an hourly fee to
preview web sites to see if they are worthy of inclusion in the search
engine. It has been discovered that they are using a url called
eval.google.com for independent contractors that Google has hired to
eyeball web sites and check them for quality.
What does this mean to you?
If your web site features quality content and is updated regularly, you
will benefit from this. The odds are that your site will survive the next
Google Dance.
But if you are using automated page building scripts (such as Traffic
Equalizer), you may be shocked to find your page views dropping like a
brick falling from the Empire State Building.
My recommendation? Build quality sites that people find valuable. If
visitors like it, it is likely that Google will like it as well.
