» eval.google.com - Google's Secret Evaluation Lab

[Randy]

On Apr 19, 2003, some members of Webmaster World had spotted referrals from eval.google.com/happier/quest/rateall.py
followed by a question number and couple of different email addresses. You can read those threads here:

According to some sites:

It's one of the best kept secrets of Google. It's a mystery on Webmasterworld. Also in Europe (France) they don't know what to expect from that odd URL http://eval.google.com. Click it and you get ...nothing. The site reveals itself only if you have the proper login and if you use a network known by Google. Residues of Eval.google are found on the web, but the full content of the mystery site has never been published before. Here it is: the real story about Eval.Google. They use... humans!

The site claims it is some kind of the secret Google evaluation lab.

This has been confirmed by Googleguy.

It may still exists and may not be active. Probably it is the evaluation process by humans instead of robots which google believes in!

does not work. I asked a google personel and they had no clue as to what i was talking about! must be a secret that only a few people get to view....
