FYI only: I found this while doing AMT (Amazon Mechanical Turk) regarding Hummingbird SEO and thought to share with you this info. I cut and pasted from a job by the requester Martin Horton not to advertise the job but this seems like a good example of making 'google nectar'!
"Your task is to create a 250 word original article based on the points/facts contained within the article below (see link) BUT instead of just creating a text summary – you must create and insert at least 3 questions inspired by the article, and then use your text to “answer” each of the questions you generate - all within the body of what you create. The content you create will have a headline, 2-3 intro sentences, then the three questions (each with 2-3 sentences answering each question), then 2-3 closing sentences.
How to Build Candidate Engagement ( http://theundercoverrecruiter.com/candi … nt-5-tips/ )
The output text will be posted onto a global Social Media and Recruitment website, with a Factual tone/style.
Guidelines: -
* This is a brand new type of article – designed for the latest ‘Hummingbird’ updates i.e. Question and Answer style
* You will be seeing lots more of these types of HITs in the coming weeks, so its good to start getting used to this style
Read the original article through to understand the key points first.
Generate three key questions as a result of reading the article.
Answer each question in turn by placing your own summary text underneath each question.
The three questions should logically make sense – so when you read the final article, it looks like a mini FAQ style article.
Required Text Sequence for this 250 Word HIT
1st: Insert a Unique headline, inspired by the original headline (it can be a question too)
2nd: Insert 2-3 introduction sentences, as appropriate
3rd: Question One (separate line)
4th: Question One answer/summary text – that answers Question One
5th: Question Two (separate line)
6th: Question Two answer/summary text – that answers Question Two
7th: Question Three (separate line)
8th: Question Three answer/summary text – that answers Question Three
9th: 2-3 close-out or call to action/summary sentences (note: we will insert the original source article URL at the end)
* Depending on the source article above, sometimes 3 questions might not be possible, so go with 2 questions instead and make the answer/summary text longer.
* Create questions that your summary text will answer e.g. “What is the benefit of XXXXXX” – XXXXXX has three key benefits....
* Vary the types of questions you use – for example only - What are, How Can, What is, When should, Who is, Why are...
Important:- Do NOT copy from other sites. The content should be fresh, original and inspired by the source article. Although you may use relevant facts and a little text where necessary, the final article should be unique. We use CopyScape and other tools to verify all hits, also before submitting your work please check your spelling. Any that fail will not be accepted. We have lots more of these types of hits coming soon.
Please enter a new title below (Please be creative with the new title):
Enter the minimum 200 word article below:
Thanks for your help. If we can make this HIT better, please let us know how."
Interesting. And let me guess, it pays 5c per article written?

Because of the way we have rolled out Article Q&A on a site-by-site basis, there are some network sites that have substantially more questions with their own URLs than others. Rest assured, we haven’t seen any direct correlation between changes in traffic and the ratio of questions on a site....

Some times I get really dumb questions. For instance, some asked "Are dragons real?" are a hub that was all about the reasons for dragon myths and which made clear that dragons are not real. Should I give a brief response: "No, dragons are not real." Or should I just...

I have noticed that most of the questions I get are from one article. Those questions are piling up. Most are very specific and can not be answered by reading the article. That being said, do too many questions attached to one article hurt that article? I feel like too many comments dragged an...

Within the last few weeks, the Q & A editor has rejected my answers to people's questions, giving vague reasons for it. It's getting to the point where I want to turn the whole thing off -- it is a hassle to research the answers only to have them bounced by HP. If it were once or...

What the heck is the point of Q&A? I don't mean that sarcastically. I am really trying to figure it out. I can't formulate a strategy for properly using this feature unless I can understand the intent behind it.First the Q&A questions/answers were on their own pages with their own urls. It...

I have several articles written under another hub name. They focus on the same topics, just different issues that are all related. They get some traffic and the comments I get are pretty good. People ask me what they should do for advice or encouragement. I use motivation to help...
