Words You Avoid When Choosing Domain Names

[Bec]

I did a quick search of "words banned by google" and came up with an interesting article: http://googlesbannedwords.blogspot.c...ned-words.html

Excerpt:
WORDS THAT GOOGLE SAYS ARE NEVER SAFE

Of course there are limit to even an "advance proprietary technology that checks keywords and phrases, URLs, and Open Directory catgories", so there some are words that Google thinks are never safe*, regardless of what site is using them, what site links to them, or what the context is. It doesn't matter if you're Wikipedia.org or a porn-spam blog, these words are never okay. Some of these words are not surprising. Some of them are surprising:


fuck
shit
cunt
tits
bastard
nude
erotic
pussy
cock
porn
twat
naked
boob
bullshit
asshole
fisting
fellatio
cunnelingus
clitoris
anus


*Never safe means that if you set your Google SafeSearch to the "strict filtering" result, you will get no returns in a search for the string. What that means in the real world is that even though there are nearly 5,000 pages with the word "nude" on the Metropolitan Museum of Art Website, Google's "advanced proprietary technology" can't identify a single one of these pages as a "safe" return for the search [nude].

Hmm, that is noteworthy and good research, Bec.

Of course, I'm not going to delete some of those words. I figure we're all using some of them and are in the same boat.
