Hey there… looks like the Google manual editors guidelines document has already been taken down. Know of a second source?
It works fine for me….
Actually you are right it is broken. Email me if you need a copy.
Thanks. Actually found another copy here if you want to update your link.

Link is still dead. Will toss an email.
Good catch on the Google editor guidelines. By the look of it I suspect Google didn’t intend to make this public?
I’m not saying I saved it on my computer…but I might recommend everyone who wants a copy do so while it is still available. I wonder if the reason it was taken down at Visualbod.com was because someone emailed them telling them it was an internal document and wasn’t to be made public. We’ll see.
The document is copyrighted so anybody publishing it without the author/owners permission is breaking the law. I guess that’s why people keep taking it down.
It’s taken down alright…clicked on both links provided here and it was closed.
I particularly liked the article about Answer Sniper…looks like there are A LOT of ways to go about in SEO
It’s not on the beussery already. But you can still get it from a google’s cache
.
Google’s cache has helped me out in other instances as well. I haven’t seen the quality rater guidelines. Thanks for pointing it out.
The G-Document was a good read! I took a bunch of notes.
