Help make Google better

Over the years, search sites have steadily improved. Today, the sites are remarkably good at learning what a Web page is about.

Sites like Google use algorithms to return search results. The algorithms assign points to specific elements on a page.

These algorithms work well when you're searching for a Web page. But, these days, we search for more than Web pages. We search for photos, videos and more.

Unfortunately, search site algorithms don't work well with photos. They must rely on HTML tags attached to the photos.

Google has found a way to improve its image search.

Google Image Labeler is a game that pits you against another player. You're each shown a series of images. It's your job to assign labels to the images.

You win points when you and your opponent's labels match. The more specific the labels, the more points you earn. It's a fun way to help improve Internet searches!
