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.

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.

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.

  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.

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

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

  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.
  
  Thanks
