Another Question
5 years ago
I've noticed when I do Google searches, some of my stuff from Weasyl ( however it's spelled ) comes up... but I got to thinking, it looks like the stuff that's " adult " doesn't. Does anyone know if putting the mature ratings on stuff submitted to sites like this one & Weasyl keep it from showing up on Google? I know FA has a setting thing to keep that from happening but it doesn't always work. I just don't recall any of my mature stuff ever showing up. I'm trying to crack the code.

It's most likely randomized, but I don't know, I guess there's a way of doing it. There is also something on Google which acts as a safe image search perhaps?

I'm kinda thinking there is.

Thee actually is. When you search for photos there is a safe search option near the top of the right of the screen. Clicking on that will provide a filter on your searches.

Hmmm... I was hoping to find a way to not show up in any searches. Oh well.

If it gets posted somewhere/anywhere, it will show up. Them's the breaks I'm afraid. Though if people have a problem with your pictures then they are not worth worrying about.

Google's caching system only sees things that are publicly view-able. If it requires a log-in to see content (such as mature themes) they won't generally show up in searches.

I just might go back into Weasyl then & make all my posts mature.

Google also has a "safe search" feature that is "on" by default. You can turn that off under the "Settings" options. When on, it limits the results to something like PG stuff.

I'm not so worried about me seeing unsafe stuff, I'm just not horribly crazy about some of my " fun " stuff showing up on Google searches.

Ah! Gotcha!

I didn't know you did adult stuff, never seen any of it before

Well... if you wanna call it " adult " stuff.
