Humans Assisting Spiders

What are the top things that trigger google humans to get involved? In other words, when do humans help the spiders help make decisions as to what to do (index, de-index, penalize, increase rank, decrease rank, etc.) with webpages?

How involved are humans, really? What percentage of time are they involved and in what contexts? For instance, if a page has perfect keyword density but every other word does not make sense, how would google know? With humans?

      How do you know this? Not saying you are wrong, but maybe a link to a reference backing this up would be helpful.

        He probably knows from personal experience and from the experiences of people who use his product, WP-Mage. I've seen the same thing with other, older and less sophisticated, affiliate scripts like BANS.

        To get to the original question, my guess is that they use various tools that access internal data and build a list of 'usual suspects' which might include sites that have a certain script signature, new domains that have certain keyword combinations or other things they're watching out for. I suppose that you would have to trip several red flags or one big one to get a visit. Once that list is built, it gets distributed to quality inspectors for them to work through.

    Any response to the question here is blatant speculation. The only ones that know work for Google, and they ain't telling.

        That was exactly my point in asking the question and anting to see soem sort of link or reference to back up that earlier claim. While experience, experimentation, and testing can all get you a certain amount of info there is no way to know these things and claim them as absolutes unless of course you are one of those humans at google who assist the bots.
