For this task, you will be provided a landing page and asked to identify which — if any — of the following attributes the landing page has:

items out of stock
bad search results page
error did not load
‘soft’ 404 page

If none of the above attributes applies, you should select “None of the above” and submit the task even if there are other problems with the landing page..

Completely out of stock/No longer available

You should check this flag if all or most of the products listed on the landing page are out of stock. If only a small portion of the products listed on the page are out of stock or unavailable, please do not select this flag.

Bad In-Site Search Results

Sometimes a landing page will have in-site search functionality, and provide a bad landing page experience for the user by showing search results that do not include the product being searched. If the exact product being searched for is not listed at all, please classify the page as a Bad In-Site Search Results page.

Content Unclear

In some cases, the landing page may have no real content. This could occur when the page is just pure gibberish and it’s hard to understand what it’s about and how a user will get satisfied by it. This could also occur when the page does not render properly or has no real content. This flag is distinct from the Soft 404 or Error / Did Not Load flags, because no errors are returned when you visit the page, and at least some content partially loads.

Error / Did Not Load

Error / Did Not Load pages are pages that do not load at all, nor do they allow the user to navigate to another portion of the website. They are distinct from “Soft 404 Pages” because “Error / Did Not Load” pages do not allow the user to continue to navigate to the rest of the site. Review the example below:

Soft 404 Page

Soft 404 pages are stylized error pages. They are distinct from Error / Did Not Load because “Soft 404 Pages” allow the user to continue to navigate to the rest of the site. Review the examples below:

None of the above

If you find that the landing page does not have any of the attributes defined above, please select the “None of the above flag” and submit the task.

If you encounter a technical problem with this rating task, use the “Report A Problem” link in the lower-right hand corner of the rating page.
