Is Google avoiding this?

seoforgoogle · 03-07-2011, 04:01 AM

Hello all respected warriors,

I have read somewhere that Google avoids words of praise like best, largest etc. in content or description of site.

Is this true?

Thanks in advance.

mjarel · 03-07-2011, 04:11 AM

Really? I have no idea upon it.If anyone can guide us, I use praising words in my content a lot, but yet I haven't get any negative respond in fact my business is sparkling now a days.

Bob Phantom · 03-07-2011, 04:16 AM

I have no idea and don't really matter to me as I don't use them. Hope you get a decent answer soon though.

signity · 03-07-2011, 04:35 AM

I never heard about this. Is this Google new algo?

Ivan Jefferey · 03-07-2011, 04:48 AM

Hi...All

To my knowledge I know, There is no any restriction or never heard about this before. Any way thanks for a good question like this.

evansteyn · 03-07-2011, 04:52 AM

I also don't have an idea about this but I m not using these praise words in my content. If someone get an idea about that then please share with me..

i think google is robot, maybe yes ,maybe no!

Mjoseph83 · 03-07-2011, 05:17 AM

I did not heard anything about that Google avoids words of praise like best, largest etc. in content or description of site. Even it does not give more importance to "or", "and" etc.

jennasherly · 03-07-2011, 05:42 AM

I have heard that its not good to use such kind of hype words.

Lucid · 03-07-2011, 07:06 AM

I highly doubt this.

I think you may be confusing a rule in Adwords with the natural rankings. In Adwords, you cannot use superlatives (best, biggest, largest...) in your ads. But as far as your site is concerned, I don't believe that the algo checks for such words to decrease your rankings.

zac2 · 03-07-2011, 08:56 AM

I've never heard that one before.

Come on people, can we not have a real conversation as to what
the OP asked? Just nonsense.

The truth is google does ignore certain words in search. That does
not mean you can't use them!

They're called stop words and there are probably dozens of them.
They have to ignore hyperbole and other abused or unneeded words
when people search. There's no penalty, and there's nothing
nefarious about the practice. And on the flip side, sometimes
these stop words are needed and their algo does include them.

Normally, if some sites deserve the words included, it will be
a very short list and all sites after that ignore the word.

To narrow the results down to what google thinks the searcher
wants requires them to ignore certain words.

Stop Words List

The word best is on that list.

Like Paul said it doesn't matter If you use those words, just don't use only those words.

like yukon says,

they do work in some cases..

dont bother making them part of your research strategy... if they are important/significant, they will come up if your research is enought indepth in the first place

meaning if they are worth finding. you will find them.

lambertmerk · 03-07-2011, 05:24 PM

I'm not sure of that. Never heard. Maybe you can use that but not the "best" word alone. This is the first time I've encountered such question and never it crosses my mind

Aki Fagno · 03-07-2011, 06:17 PM

I don't think so. I have never came across this issue. That seems weird.

ThomvP · 03-07-2011, 06:46 PM

I certainly dont hope so since my target keyword starts with "best" lol.

seoforgoogle · 03-07-2011, 10:20 PM

I am not talking about keywords.

What I am trying to say is these words possibility of avoidance in Google in site content is high, but not every time.

In short, we should less use of these superlative words in our content and description.

Billy Rey · 03-07-2011, 11:45 PM

i have heard about that like 2 years ago....all my niche sites had those words in their titles, anchors, articles etc, no problem at all.
