Google's "Teen Porn Concepts"
 

So to use Google Adwords, we're forced to remove our "teen porn concepts" from the website. Just having a "teen" category is enough.

I'm sitting here trying to comprehend what to do. I mean if they do this for adwords and are taking a stance, maybe it's the safe bet to distance ourselves for the future. I mean renaming a category isn't a huge deal I guess, we can setup redirects, but what the fuck else to call it? If "teen" is no good, then surely "18+" is similary bad?

So where does that leave me.. 19+? 20+? 18-22?

Maybe we should all start promoting a new made up teen word.. Cuties?

good question
worth a bump

Neet Porn

Worth another bump! How about BRL's (Babes Recently Legal), or LHF's (Low Hanging Fruit)

freshy's? :)

Just Legal Girls?

Of course, the broader question is what does it mean for the web when big companies like Google start to force us to take legal text off our sites because of their own morality issues. I'm not comfortable with Google telling me how to live my life or run my sites.

robots.txt? :D

I hear you, but Google has been historically very friendly to most of our bank accounts here, so sometimes you just gotta play ball.

I have stopped writing words like "schoolgirl" out of fear, mostly :)

You cannot even run a girls gone wild ad. :321GFY adwords.

I own 1819.com - I wonder if that would be a teen porn concept?

Coed's
College girls
Sorority girls

Google can careless about your content, look at them they are the biggest breading ground for child porn, beastiality etc searching....

I think the problem they have, is with new business partners such as Visa, etc, for google checkout etc... Which force them into dealing strategies that power around freedom for cash... Some other companies like to think they have morals lol. And won't do business with companies that don't reflect the same ones.

its interesting that everyone thinks google owes them something whether its related to adwords rules, adsense rules or SERPs. people are weird. its a for profit company that owes you absolutely nothing... remember that while you are building your business and you will be better off.

Socks, I encountered a similar dilemma and decided to go with Coeds (or College Coeds) or 18-19 years old depending on the site.

"Low hanging fruit"..... That's funny!

It's kind of hit or miss with the editorial guidelines. I've had sites with girls, schoolgirls, teens written on it that pass editorial. Then I've had sites that they pull because you link to a URL with teen in it.

I've stopped using adwords because of this issue... My ads got approved by some editor and after a week they got disabled obviously by another one because of a teen porn concept. Even my MILF campaigns got disapproved because I used a word Teens in a navigation :) Funny thing though, my campaign that leads to my Nubiles.net review is still active, I just don't bid on it anymore :)

I went with "Coeds." :2 cents:

I think I am going to go with "18-23"
i have seen tbp uses "Young (18-23)"
whereas I do not really like the young in there... i have seen 4-5 other sites also using 18-23
best I came up with also... coeds is just not 100% fitting

t33ns :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

One of my ads got taken down because I used the world girls. Not young girls just girls.

Yeah, that has happened before. Even if you changed the name of the category, you might have the word teen throughout your site in reviews or site names (which would be odd to change). It's a hit and miss.

We've had the same problem in the last 3 weeks. Our account manager when through the site point out what he thought fell into the teen concept category. Hustler's Barely Legal dvds where what trigger our initial account review. Any terms that relate to teens basically will get monitored and flagged for review.

Were currently in the process of tweaking our site to suit, due to the limited traffic in our corner of the world.

We're started to see some teen terms being filtered on Google. adult stores with Barely Legal DVD titles don't list within GG in broad search.

Agreed, if it were a moral issue they would build their algorithms to ban sites that had teen porn in them. Go see what comes up.

4,770,000 hits. Seems a lot for people banning teen porn on moral grounds. :1orglaugh

Migrate to granny porn.

Problem solved.
