In case you ever wondered – yes Google do use humans to augment their search index. From what I gather its about 10,000 in total. Obviously, thats a speculative number, but the point is that your site will be human checked if you rank for anything meaningful.
This doesnt mean Google human rank the index, it just means that the algo they use is augmented by humans . Occasionally of course a spam site is identified and blown out f the index, but generally G like to let the algo do the vast majority of sorting.
So what do these human reviewers look for ? Well now thanks to a very, very helpful person, the human reviewer document has been outed and I have uploaded a copy for you to read. Its 43 pages of SEO heaven!
