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 website is grownup oriented and thus be filtered out by SafeSearch. However how a lot, how usually, and the way specific do these phrases should be in your website to set off it?
The subject got here up once more on Mastodon the place Marty Goosed requested “Can we typically assume that Google would punish your #content material for utilizing curse phrases? Think about you’ve got written probably the most useful piece of content material whereas utilizing real-world language – and meaning you must 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, High Tales, & Uncover do have insurance policies and mentions of utilizing such phrases and that it could affect the visibility of your content material in these areas. However with net search, John stated no.
So then I referenced the subject from two years in the past and Gary Illyes chimed in and stated it must be extra specific and excessive use of these phrases to set off SafeSearch in Google Search. Gary wrote, “I imply it undoubtedly depends upon the phrases you employ. 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 may seemingly see that web page within the outcomes solely with protected search off.”
I’m not certain if any of you need to give it a whirl and take a look at it however right here is a little more transparency on the subject from Google reps.
