I have a nicely established PR4 site about my counseling services. I am thinking about adding a couple of pages about by counseling for sex related issues, but I am concerned that Google will start to think I am a porn site and lower my web site in the search results. There will likely be all sort of "naughty" word on these pages e.g. BDSM etc.... I really can't afford for that to happen, 50% of my clients find me through organic search results. It would also hurt my CPC campaign. Does that seem like a valid concern? Is there a way to avoid it? Should I create a separate site instead? Thanks!
Depends what you define as 'naughty'. I think if you keep all your terminology as literate as possible and make it sound professional then you should be fine.
I would not worry about it. I'm sure Google knows the difference between a porn site and a site that is trying to help a disorder or give information about different sexual preferences. As long as you do it in a professional way you should be fine.
I think it's okay, but it all depends on what the big G will think about your website..! The best way is to create a new subdomain and add those pages in, then see how it will goes
Now ur PR4 so better u don't add sex related content. Once penalized from google no chance of come back. Google we cant contact them for this type of issue. So u has to be carefull
Thanks for all your advice. I had an idea. How about I just block those pages in my robots.txt file and make all links to then "rel=nofollow". What do you guys think? It would mean unfortunately no organic traffic though. Perhaps is the subdomain idea from IEMailer better?
Yeah, you could maybe do a "noindex, nofollow" in the head of the page: Obviously that blocks the organic traffic though!
Google can differentiate between a porn site and your site. It depends on the words and how the words are used but just talking about sex will not get you penalized.
It depends on how you are going to present it. If you are going to show and tackle it then Google will definitely penalize your site.
yeah, it would be ridiculous for google to penalize a site just for talking about words, there are lots of mainstream forums that have good pr and they are mainstream but sometimes the members talk about youporn or porntube and other porn sites, so if google penalized them for that it would be really wrong of google
I wouldn't worry about it either. I am not an expert on google by any means, but I would say go for it and just make it sound good and pro. Thanks, Seba
Thanks for your advice guys. I think that what I am writing about should be very professional and Google will not get confused. There may be one page that talks about explicitly about fetishes. I will use the robots.txt file and "rel=nofollow" on that specific page just to be sure. No big deal if this one page is excluded from search results. This experience really made me realize how much of my business relies on how Google sees me. Kind of scary...
