An orphanage website I work on is showing up for searches on "girls in bathrooms" because they have an article about renovating the girls bathroom! What do you think of the idea if a negative keyword meta tag to block irrelevant searches?

  • Maybe sites could tag themselves with meta ADULT or meta NOADULT and Google could take that into consideration.

  • Good question... bonus it wasn't landlubber (again) asking it either

  • A "keywords-not" META tag would be extremely useful. The company I work for sells plastic tubes. As a result, our Chinese website shows up on searches for "tube8" (The internet IS for porn, after all). About 20% of the visitors to our Chinese website are searching for tube8. It would be nice if there were a way to clarify that our 8" plastic tubes are NOT the same thing as tube8. Also, our "plastic nipple caps" and "vinyl insertion plugs" aren't as nearly as interesting as they may sound.

  • It took me 3 months to realise my question had been answered! Thanks Matt.

    The hits aren't happening any more as the blog post has aged. The owner said he's no too proud where his donations come from, every penny helps.

    It may be a sign that not enough websites provide "girls in bathrooms" content. It could be a good niche to get into ;-)

  • @figurethis2 landlubber - that dude is everywhere!

  • Hey, That's my hometown too. Great to hear a question from way DownUnder in Adelaide, South Australia. Now where do I submit questions to Matt? A particular Google blog or website?

  • hi matt, what's the max. number of links on 1 url today? i heard that it's more then 100. is it true? thank you, tastro

  • Can we send question to the guy? How?
