2. How are ResultsAbout pages helpful?
When you typed "Windows" did you mean "Windows, the operating system," or "windows for your home?" How about "Jaguar?" Animal, car, or operating system? By "Computer," do you mean buying a computer, fixing a computer or getting a job in the computer industry? And once you've narrowed down what you are looking for, how do you find the best resources on that topic from the thousands of choices on the web? Not just a list, but real insight into what's best, timely, appropriate and new. ResultsAbout pages can help you find exactly what you are looking for.

3. What does a ResultsAbout Editor do?
Each ResultsAbout Editor develops one page, devoted to a popular search term (e.g. Computer). The ResultsAbout Editor creates sub-categories for each keyword ("Did You Mean?"), along with annotated links to the best resources on a more specific subtopic of the keyword (e.g. Buying a Computer). ResultsAbout Editors personally select each link, and add their own advice to help make the experience even more relevant and useful. And then they keep an eye on their topic, updating it regularly to ensure it continues to provide a gateway to the best resources on the web. All ResultsAbout Editors must abide by the Rules and Regulations.

Good question! A great ResultsAbout editor should have a mix of expertise on the topic covered (we'll ask you to specifically outline this in your application) and a passion for creating a great page and get the word out to partners and search engines to build traffic. After all, we plan to reward the best ResultsAbout editors based on their ability to build a vibrant audience on top of a share of the revenue generated at the site.
