After the news about the leakage of Google’s quality guidelines for its search results raters, people became too eager to know what this document really has inside. To satisfy your cravings to this issue, here are some of the most important contents you can find in this document.

The Vital Factor in Rating Search Results

One of the most important contents that can be found in the Google’s quality guidelines is the part where Google reiterated and stressed the significance of the intent of the search query. According to this document searches can be divided into four types which include the following:

1. Go Queries – A search can be called Go Queries if the intention of the searcher is to look or find a particular page on the internet.
2. Know Queries – Know Queries are those searches made with the searcher’s intention to find information on the web.
3. Do Queries – This is when the intention of the searcher is to find a particular site or place on the web wherein he or she can perform and accomplish a goal. Some examples of goals include downloading, playing games on the internet, buying items, and many more.
4. Combination Queries – This is the type of search which corresponds to when the searcher combines 2 or more intentions into one search.

What are the Rate Options?

Search results ratings from Google search engine according to the Google’s Quality Guidelines can be classified into the following categories:

• Grade A (Useful Pages) – The raters should rate the pages ‘Grade A’ if those pages are very useful and helpful to the users or searchers. The basis would be its quality and its appropriateness to the query or search. Most pages that could be Graded A by the search results raters must be exceedingly satisfying, entertaining and authoritative. For most SEOs, this is the kind of ratings they want their pages to be tagged on. This is the best rating you can get from the search results raters.
• Grade B (Relevant Pages) – This rating could be given to those pages in the search results wherein the content is still useful and helpful to many users. However, the content is not as useful or as high quality as the Grade A-rated pages. Relevant pages are usually placed after the useful pages so it still needs to be improved.
• Grade C (Slightly Relevant) – This rate should be given to pages that can be relevant to the queries or searches but not necessarily helps the users. These ratings mean poor quality and badly needs improvement. If you want to get to the top of the Google rankings, this rate is definitely not the rate you would want your page to receive.

For some people, knowing this information and being familiar with Google’s basis of rating the search results could definitely be very helpful but does not necessarily mean it can instantly make you richer or it can give you the gold. Still, it could be a way!
