    I cannot find any documentation on Google penalizing domains linking to domains that contain expletives.

    I can see that the domain itself may not show up in search results unless safe search is off though.

    However, I am more interested in the SEO implications for a site that links to a domain with an expletive.

    Google does not penalise a site for connecting to a URL containing expletives. However, Google has tight criteria for the quality and relevance of links.

    Google typically focuses more on the overall quality and relevance of content rather than specific words in links. While linking to a domain with expletives might not directly lead to penalties, it's essential to consider the site's reputation and audience perception. Ultimately, if you're concerned about SEO, it might be wise to prioritize linking to reputable sites that align with your brand values.

    There’s no such documentation on Google for this.

    Google simply doesn’t have any penalties for these kinds of domains.

    Sorry if that’s disappointing :)
