I ask this because...

Was this document legitimately leaked?  Or was it leaked on purpose?

>So Google farms this out

Big time. We know a woman working for a Danish company who worked for them. She said they have plenty of quality raters in each country and they rate the same sites/serps, but never talk to each other or even know each other. Think there was a job description somewhere where they hired raters.

Afaik the raters have had a huge impact on Panda.

I would imagine is was AI based. Learning what was deemed quality and trying to make it part of the algo.

I have seen Google advertise for such raters in Australia some years ago.

Here's a link to a working copy :

but its from 2007 so maybe a little out of date?

The version I have is dated March 30, 2011.  I think the classifications of user intent as "Do-Know-Go" are well worth studying.
