Systems and methods of adaptive workflow definition of crowd sourced tasks and quality control mechanisms for multiple business applications are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for generating and distributing tasks to workers to optimize product categorization in an online marketplace, generating and distributing tasks to workers for search engine optimization of a website, and/or generating and distributing tasks to workers for business data verification and enhancement. Results can be aggregated from multiple workers to enhance or improve site information, site organization, or other business information to improve site placement in search results and/or to enhance/improve user experience.

Adaptive workflow definition of crowd sourced tasks and quality control mechanisms for multiple business applications

Systems and methods for evaluating a worker in performing crowd sourced tasks and providing in-task training are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for selecting a job distributed through a job distribution platform for workers to work on, for use to generate a test task, the job being associated with a known correct result, associating a manipulated result, known to be an incorrect result for the job, with the job to generate the test task, and/or presenting the job with the manipulated result as the test task to a worker for evaluation of work quality of the worker. The job distribution platform crowd sources tasks online to workers to work on via their respective computing devices.
