10.000 personas evalúan en google

Ayer comentaba sobre el Trustrank y la función de "humanos" revisando manualmente algunas webs, pero solo las que pueden ser consideradas páginas semillas (seeds), las muy importantes dentro de cada sector.

Google incluso posee una patente en la que describe este proceso:
[PDF] - "System and method for supporting editorial opinion in the ranking of search results".

"For each web page/site identified as favored and non-favored, the editors may determine an editorial opinion parameter for that site... For each web page in the result set that is associated with one of the web sites in the set of affected web sites, the server may determine an updated score using an editorial opinion parameter for that web site."

Hoy, y a través de webmasterworld.com, podemos conocer que son unas 10.000, las personas encargadas de revisar el algoritmo de google de forma manual, mediante la evaluación de websites.

Q: How do they tell if they have bad results?
A: They have a bunch of watchdog services that track uptime for various servers to make sure a bad one isn't causing problems. In addition, they have 10,000 human evaluators who are always manually checking teh relevance of various results.
