Can a a few non-safe words prevent my site from appearing in SafeSearch results?

We have a fun question from Philip Linsen in Germany.

Philip says, if you run a family friendly site, which, however, every now and then mentions an adult word, for example, becausethe word is ambiguous or just happens to be about sex education, do you risk getting kicked out of the Google Safe search results zone?

Well, it's on a spectrum, right?

And on one hand, you have completely non porn stuff.

On the other hand, you have completely porn stuff, and it's perfectly normal for a site to occasionally mention breast if you're talking about breast cancer or sex, if you're talkingabout sex education, so we try to write our algorithms such that just having a single word mentioned here or there really won't have that much of an impact.

Now, of course, some words are worse than others.

If you've got some slang or something that's misspelled and really is not a word that you can repeat in a polite company that makes it more likely that that page will get flagged.

But in most cases, you should be in relatively good shapeas long as most of your content or most of the words on your page are family friendly.

A good example of this is the Neil Gaiman book Stardust.

The whole book is more like a fairy tale written for teens, so it's very PG. 13 PG completely fine.

Except for one single word where a star falls to Earth and the star is a human and she's like and she curses for just one word.

That's not the sort of thing where you want to call the entire book unfamily safe.

Just because of that one word.

It's like 250 page book one word.

So we do try to have things on a relatively good scale, so that if you only occasionally mention things, or if you're talking about sex education or medical related things that won't automatically trigger safe search, and you don't need to worry about that.

Bye.
