How our Quality Raters make Search results better
At Google, we’re always working on ways we can improve your Search experience.
We constantly experiment with ideas to improve the results you see. One of the ways we evaluate those experiments is by getting feedback from third-party Search Quality Raters. Quality Raters are spread out all over the world and are highly trained using our extensive guidelines. Their feedback helps us understand which changes make Search more useful.
Raters also help us categorize information to improve our systems. For example, we might ask what language a page is written in or what’s important on a page.
We use responses from Raters to evaluate changes, but they don’t directly impact how our search results are ranked.

It works for prestigious clients like Google, Microsoft, amazon, IBM etc. Appen with an experience of 20+ years is working in 75+ countries.
The beauty of Appen is the variety of tasks it offers. Do you have iphone and can take great photos? You will get a lot of projects. Are you good at web research? Appen really needs you. You can write down what a person in an audio file is saying, you will get a project on transcription Appen have many exciting work from home jobs ranging from doing a simple survey to complex projects only very few people can do.
Here are some types of tasks you can expect from Appen as a contributor

Here is how you can you start with Appen
Log into your Appen(connect) account. Click on All projects from main menu. You have an option to see projects you are qualified for, or you are not qualified for or all projects. You can get a list of project according to skills you possess by choosing a type of project from top right drop down menu like if you are good at web research then you can select web research and click Go. Apart from it, every project listing will have all the important details mentioned along with like hourly rate, goal of the project, no. of tasks available, hours you need to work in a week, instructions how to complete the project, what is expected from you, qualification contributor needs etc. Accuracy matters a lot on every micro-jobs platform so make sure you only choose projects you are capable of completing.
Some projects can be started right away without passing a qualification test but then there will be many projects you will need to qualify to get it assigned to you. Once you have chosen a suitable project that matches your skills, click on green button that says Qualify. You will be redirected to project description page or qualification exam they ask some questions to make sure you are the right candidate for project.
Apply for as many as projects you can think you can successfully compete to increase your chance of getting selected for a project. By clicking on the active processes on the top of the page, you can check status of all your applications.
Good thing is you can simultaneously work for more than one project. However as like Telus here also you cannot work for similar project for another company. That is to say you cannot work as Internet Assessor for Telus and Appen simultaneously. Bur you can work as Internet Assessor for Lionbridge and Ads Assessor for Appen simultaneously. Or you can work on Internet Assessor, Ads Assessor or any other project of from Appen simultaneously.
Important thing here is Appen Don’t term the roles as Internet Assessor, Maps Analyst or Ads Assessor. Instead they have named the project like Project Yukon for Internet Assessor, Project Shasta for Maps Analyst, Project Arrow for Google Ads Assessor and Project Nile for Facebook Ads Evaluation. Appen is real slow in processing your application. Sometimes it takes months to proceed your application further.
Pay rate for Appen is less as compared to Lionbridge so it should be your second preference.
Exam
I have applied and cleared Internet Assessor role exam for Lionbridge (same role is named as Rater for USA applicant) in mid of April 2020. Before applying I gathered as much information as possible from Reddit, Quora and Glassdoor. Found that people are working on this position for years and making a decent income. Many people have failed to clear the exam. Many have stated that the exam is the real hurdle for the job. It is true that for all the above role mentioned exam of Internet Assessor Role (Rater) exam is hard. But not impossible to clear. You really need to give attention to detail and spare 30 to 35 hours span over 7 days to clear the exam. You can find more details on exam here How I Passed Internet Assessor Exam.
The exam is conducted in 3 parts. Part 1 is theoretical and Part 2 and part 3 are practical. Again each part is divided in 7 sections and each section is having 1 hour to complete. Once you start any section you need to finish it in 1 hour and if you want you can take a break by clicking on “Submit and Stop” button after answering all the questions in that section. So in all I have 21 hours of exam ahead. This is the longest exam for any of the role. But if you clear it one will get a long term contact position to work for biggest search engine i.e. Google.
How Much Can I Earn?
Around $6 per hour for Africa and Asia, $13 per hour for USA, $16 per hour for European countries. Which is a decent income in Asian and African region or close to white collar job there. And for USA and European countries it is a good side income. Yes it is possible to earn online. I have earned it for 1 Year and still earning it. Hope this will give you the first-hand experience and belief that you can also earn that much income online with little motivation, hard work and common sense. You don’t need any special skill apart from able to know how to surf on the Internet. You need to have motivation, ready for hard work and common sense. Any person all over the globe with these basic skill earn money on Internet while working from home.
Lionbridge pay by direct payment transfer. Amount will be credited by invoice + 30 days. That is to say your January month payment you will receive between 10th -15th of March. Even if you leave the program you will be receiving all the dues on expected dates.
Payment method for Appen Connect is Payoneer.
