Stop word questions

    I think I made and mistake and ended up with a stop word that is triggering PSAs on one of my normally more productive pages. The word is "nude" which is in the title of an article.

    Q1: Can I change it to n*de and avoid it being a stop word? Or is that too obvious and will still be detected?

    Q2: How long until things get back to normal, i.e. regular ads being served again?

    Well, assuming you are not violating TOS and are being legitimate, I guess I'd suggest using the Google "look in this part of the site" code somewhere else. I don't think I'd use n*de but you might wnat to think of another way to say it, or even contact Google and ask them what you should do. I am again assuming you are not trying to bypass their rules...

    Thanks for the suggestions. It's legit, no naughty stuff, but an unfortunate title, and mental lapse to let it get through.

    But my understanding is that using the section targeting code only adds weight to sections and doesn't fence off stop words.
