I have a Spanish site. And I'm wondering if QSRs will ever evaluate it?TomSnow, you probably mean SQRs, for Google's Search Quality Raters, as you have in the title.
In regular organic search, human raters look at sites to improve the quality of search algorithms being tested....
Rough and sloppy description... their ratings really compare the perceived quality of large groups of sites that have been ranked by different algorithms, comparing one set of results to another. It's a blind test, with too many random sites included for any specific site to be affected individually.
It's the algorithms that are being evaluated... not the individual sites rankings. Eventually, of course, sites with factors common to results sets that do less well than others might get winnowed down. Eg, if there were an algo that was testing sites including some with upside-down text, after a while those results sets might negatively affect algos which allowed those sites often enough to cause those algos, and thus those sites, to drop down or fall out of rankings.
