What Is A Search Engine Evaluator
Have you ever search the internet for something and a subject that is completely unrelated to what you are searching is displayed? I always find that a bit frustrating. If I am searching for wood floors I don’t want to see information about carpeting.
Searches that we perform in search engines aren’t always right with displaying relevant information. Where information gets placed within internet searches, is based on algorithms. That means that robots are scanning through the information and deciding what the subject is actually about. Robots aren’t as good at figuring out what we as humans are looking for.
A Search Engine Evaluator searches the internet to find if images, videos or articles are actually relevant to where they are being found on the internet.
This job includes review, evaluation and feedback of online images or videos based on a set of guidelines, provides ratings on advertisements in regard to their relevancy to the search terms, reviewing websites and social media. Sounds pretty easy for anyone who likes searching around the internet.
The goal of a Search Engine Evaluator is to contribute towards making internet search more exciting, relevant and interesting for all end users. You would play a part in improving the quality of one of the largest search engines in the world. On top of that, think of all the new information that you could learn along the way.
What Are The Requirements For Search Engine Evaluators
You will be required to be at least 18 years old for this position, but positions are available in many countries and often times being bilingual can be a benefit.
You will need a personal computer (some will allow a smartphone) and high speed internet. There is no other equipment requirements for this position.
There are not interviews for these positions, but you will be required to take some tests that you are required to pass before getting hired. The tests are not hard, but rather more tedious to complete. Expect that they will take you 1 to 3 weeks to complete, depending on your schedule. You will need to give them your full attention to pass the tests. If you didn’t already know, working from home positions are very competitive, and if you don’t want to put in the time and the work, there is someone else who will, so make sure that you plan on being committed. This is a real job.
There is no payment for the testing time.
There is no sign up fee, no membership fee and no interviews. You just must pass the online assessment to be eligible for work. Any company that is requiring any upfront fee from you wouldn’t be considered a legitimate company, so don’t pay any money.
What To Expect With This Job
As a Search Engine Evaluator, you will be considered an independent contractor. You will not actually be an employee of the company. That means there are no benefits, no paid vacations, no guarantee of hours available and you will be responsible for your own taxes at the end of the year.
The work will be easy, but a bit repetitive to do. All of the work will be computer work, there is no phone work with this position.
Your schedule will be completely flexible for you to determine along with which days you work at what time of the day. It is common practice to have a contract end date when the work needs to be completed by. If your work meets their standards, you will be asked to sign a new contract with you next assignment. If you aren’t meeting the minimums, you won’t be asked back.
At times work could be limited. You could finish the project and have a waiting period between the next project, so be prepared that you could go without earnings for short periods of time.
The amount of hours could vary from 1 hour per day or be 30 hours per week. You should plan on a safety net for your income if you are the main earner in your family.
You will be able to earn more money with this job than you ever would from taking surveys or data entry. You can expect to earn between $12 to $15 per hour.
Once your have completed your testing and passed all tests, you can expect to be hired usually within days if work is available in your area. You would be sent information after passing everything for the jobs that currently are available and how to access those jobs.

If you are looking for a job that has lots of freedom in schedule and workload, want to work from home and have a strong work ethic and have a meticulous attention to detail, than search engine evaluator jobs just might be what you are looking for. It is a great opportunity for anyone that is willing to work. Just because you are doing it from home, doesn’t mean that you aren’t actually working. You will still need to do a good job in order to keep this position.
Most of the companies that have the search engine evaluator positions will require you to sign a non-compete clause in their contract. That will mean you can’t go work for both Lionbridge and Appen at the same time. Don’t risk it, there is too much cross information that you won’t go undetected doing this.
If this idea for making money from home isn’t what you were looking for, you can always decide to develop your own website. You can find information on how to create a free website here. This is the route I chose when looking for working from home.

Very great to come across such a huge opportunity thats filled with such potentials. I always look for worthy opportunities to increase my monthly income and this seem to me as a great opportunity to bag in legit cash. Considering the flexibility attached to this work, its great for people like me who work full time. Thanks so much for being generous with this great info
Thank you for reading and I am glad you found some value with the article. It is a great opportunity for anyone that is looking for extra cash or needs some flexibility with work. There are other flexible opportunities like creating your own blog, but that might not work for everyone.
I have not heard of Search Engine Evaluator until now and it seems to be a good idea for people who have the qualities needed to complete the tasks however the pay rate for contractors seems very minimal, especially with how much people would be doing.
I see you have another recommendation as well and I can create a website for free so I am going to check this out because I would rather work for myself learning how to build my own business online so thank you for this recommendation
I would agree that the pay could be more, but this is a position that you can do from home, there is no interview required to get the job, just pass the testing, and you can do it whenever you want during the day. It might be of interest for someone who is caring for children and need flexibility.
I would agree that creating your own website is a better option, but everyone might not be ready for that type of job.
Hello, Marla. Thanks for this info. This is the first time I have ever heard of something like this and you’re right, I have wondered why some things are included in a search. I think it could be because the “Robots” don’t just work with phrases but also single words within the phrase.
I can see how something like this would help SEO developers do some reprogramming that helps the “Bots” better find what someone is looking for.
As far as doing this from home is concerned, not only is this good for stay home moms but I think this would be a way for those that are retired to gain a little extra income as well.
Surveys just don’t cut the mustard. I tried them and I think they are just a waste of time. Having a website of my own seems to be the way to go. Takes a little time to get to the money part but in the end, it’s much more sustainable and one makes a bigger contribution to the Internet helping others, don’t you think?

Thanks Wayne. I do feel that it is a great opportunity for stay at home moms or someone who is retired to earn some real money. There are so many things out there that I feel either are legit or like you mention, the online surveys. You can spend hours working on surveys, and only receive a small amount of credit and many times it will only allow you to cash your credits in for a gift card and not actual cash. This is a legitimate way someone can earn some real money.
