@Harsh, I would stay away from poker, gambling sites. Recently I have had a couple of banner and link trade requests from such sites and I politely denied them. It is also about what kind of ads could get served when you have such links – especially sitewide

@Lax, you are welcome bud

That's weird, Naomi of Ittybiz uses f**k too in it's full glory and still gets away with it. Maybe it's because she is not depending on Goggle traffic?Charles - Big Idea Blogger´s last blog post... Are you Brain-Dumping or Communicating?

@Ajith useful post. How about words like Poker websites. which was recently banned by Google TOS. What if we by mistake or on any context use such words? Will that also be marked as a negative point?Harsh Agrawal´s last blog post... Twitter fail images Which I don’t want to see

@George, right… excessive stuffing can cause problems to your search ranks as well as Google AdSense figures.

@Kurt, haha… I remember writing a few posts where you had created some controversies. Yes, even my wife had written something about terrorism and her AdSense blocks started showing public service ads.

And ‘noindex’ is a mistake people make when they use robot-meta like plugins, I guess. By default all pages should be index,follow.

@carla, I know that you are pretty clean with respect your content and language usd. You will be safe always

@Richael, which is that site by the way

@Nihar, you used the right word… The Google God We are heavily dependant on Google, aren’t we? Google AdSense, SE visits, Google Analytics, FeedBurner you name it.

@Tushar, those search words will take you to potentially dangerous sites…I was also talking about the usage of other keyphrases on your blog that could damage your image, ranks and monetization potential.

@Kim, I guess most search terms related to downloads (music, lyrics, ringtones…) are dangerous.

Thank you all for the lovely conversation!

Was ringtones also on that list? Search on ringtones and you get taken to a lot of crappy sites.Kim Woodbridge´s last blog post... WordPress 2.8 Upgrade Issues and Recommendations

This is the first time I am hearing of search keywords being used for malware and virus spreading.

I have yet to be censored for using objectionable keywords, but I used to run a site with a swearing and stuff. After reading this post, I wanna revisit that site…

I haven't been banned by using any objectionable keywords or phrases (didn't know that was possible). I try to keep my website pretty "safe" and not try to do too much too fast.carla | green and chic´s last blog post... Green Your Decor Nominated for Best Eye Candy Blog!

Once google stopped indexing my page because the theme I was using had a noindex…

Its the actual theme am currently using. When I removed that line from the header everything went fine.

One thing I noticed however when I was still on blogspot..is that Google has stopped indexing me for about one month due to the very high density of words such as f**k, s**k and the usuals…u know.

You know it Ajith all those fights I used to had on my blog lol I literally made my blog a deadly fighting ground during my first months.

Now I know my mistakes so I filter out any such words and add the famous ** when i need to edit a comment.

Also having a rapidshare link on your page can get it to show public service ads. I tried that on a niche site of mine just to test some time ago. As soon as I removed the link..everything became fine.

Also I dunno why but if you use the word “s*x” or g*y… or related… google tend to show public service ads.

Today itself my girlfriend wrote about smthing abt homos on her blog and the ads went crap. So when I edited the word g*y and replaced it by homo…everything turn fine.

Very informative post.There is a common belief that some of the above key words improves Google Adsense CTR.That also a reason for excessive and unwanted stuffing of keywords.
