A few years in the past, Gary Illyes of Google famous that utilizing many extra X-rated curse phrases can set off Google to assume your web site is grownup oriented and thus be filtered out by SafeSearch. However how a lot, how usually, and the way specific do these phrases have to be in your web site to set off it?
The subject got here up once more on Mastodon the place Marty Goosed requested “Can we usually assume that Google would punish your #content material for utilizing curse phrases? Think about you’ve got written essentially the most useful piece of content material whereas utilizing real-world language – and meaning you need to chuck within the odd f-bomb for impact.”
John Mueller of Google responded, “No. No distinction that I am conscious of for web-search.” He did add that Information, Prime Tales, & Uncover do have insurance policies and mentions of utilizing such phrases and that it could influence the visibility of your content material in these areas. However with internet search, John mentioned no.
So then I referenced the subject from two years in the past and Gary Illyes chimed in and mentioned it needs to be extra specific and excessive use of these phrases to set off SafeSearch in Google Search. Gary wrote, “I imply it positively relies on the phrases you utilize. even with an excessive quantity of “dammit” you’d be good, however go down the extra specific cursing route, take it to the intense, and finally you will probably see that web page within the outcomes solely with secure search off.”
I’m not positive if any of you need to give it a whirl and check it however right here is a little more transparency on the subject from Google reps.
