Today on one of my sites I found this referral URL:

https://www.google.com/evaluation/review/review-create

If you click on it you'll get a Forbidden Access page:
"The user ***@gmail.com is not a member of EWOQ. Please ask your EWOQ contact for access."

I found these bits on info on the mysterious EWOQ

So I'm left wondering... was it a good review or a bad one? Does it mean the site is in trouble?

Has anyone else seen these sorts of referral URLs in their stats?

S'cuse me while I subscribe to this thread with a pointless replay:

I don't find it anywhere in my referrals for the past 30 days. |huh

I must be special LOL
I haven't ever seen it before except on this one site... although I haven't checked many of my other domain stats lately.

I remember quite awhile ago someone posting a link on another board where google was advertising for hand reviewers. They were looking for experienced people to review sites for obvious spam, redirects and relevancy of their algo. It would be my guess if your site is relevant and doesn't play any games there would be nothing to worry about. :)
