Curse words in domain names

    Is there any problem from an SEO standpoint with using curse words, including the "F" word, in domain names.

    Are these domains penalized in any way?

    Thanks, drofwarc

    i don't think so. but if using the F word, would probably categorize the website as adult website. but that is just my view. not 100% sure though

    I dont think so....search engines will just consider it like any other keyword....

    Try to google "f***"

    The results might interest you.

    The only real problem you might have is with the filters settings. Some people might have filters for that kind of language turned on.

    Otherwise...you can do the same seo for any swear word, becuz to google...its just another word.
