SafeSearch filter eliminated by Google after one month and new SafeSearch discover

Google has told us that you want this Avoid buying a domain name that were filtered with the adult filter of Google SafeSearch. Well, server.com had this problem and after Google asked Google to remove the filter, Google did it in about a month. Also, Google has a new notice that some results may be unique and that you can filter them out using SafeSearch.

Someone from Servers.com went into the Google Webmaster Help Forums and asked how a site can be unfiltered by the SafeSearch filter. He said, “I’m trying to get to the bottom of a problem with Google Safe Search. My site is showing up in an unfiltered Safe Search, but once I turn Safe Search on, it doesn’t show any results. I’ve read many articles on why websites are removed from a safe Google search, but nothing I read seems to relate to why my website is failing since it has nothing explicit at all. Has anyone had a similar problem and fixed it? “

That was posted on November 9th, and then Google’s Caio Barros reported the problem on November 11th, saying, “I reported this to the search team. Unfortunately, SafeSearch information is confidential (even to me) so all we can do now is wait. If your website is fine, it should come up at some point with SafeSearch enabled. “

Then, on December 8th, almost a month later, Caio Barros said the site was no longer filtered. He said, “Mark, appears to be showing SafeSearch now! Can you confirm this, please?”

So it took me about a month to google reclassify the page from the SafeSearch adult filter.

With that in mind, I was informed last week that Google has a new notice at the top of some search results saying that if the SafeSearch filter can help filter out explicit content and results, Google will let you know it exists.

This is how it looks:

I asked on Twitter if this was new after Álvaro Peña notified me and a lot of people told me it was new.

I’ve actually seen this for the past week or so on non-explicit searches. I was a little surprised but ignored it. I assumed it was a mistake.

Going back to the original part of this story, it’s really refreshing to see that it only takes Google a month to classify a website as adult.
