What's happening to the outputs? Anything wih a vaguely female domain name is coming back with nothing but porn links irrespective of whatever category/subcategory/keywords you put in e.g topwomen in business/jobs/...

I tried to set girlworld to kids/girls toys and gave up. Barbie porn just isn't right!

And when I do want adult results they don't happen e.g sextoys as a category hardly ever brings up results, and never consistently.

The whole women/female/adult algorithms needs looking at quickly. CTR is abysmal and results are plain wrong.

It doesn't seem to be just this. There's a bias towards the domain name for some reason and this is overiding the category/subcategory/keywords.

Hi Tifosi,

Google are sometimes aggressive in what they class as adult and anything with the word 'girl' in it does tend to be seen by them as being so. If you let me know any domains which you experience this on, I'll get them flagged correctly.
