Google Prostitute

Google got a feature "Spell Checker" which suggests a keyword that sounds more like the searched keyword and lot of people search for it. Which is cool, but not for everybody.

I have a friend who got a site proxyTuts.com. When he searches for "proxytuts" in Google see what he get as a suggested spelling http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=proxytuts&btnG=Search

Did you mean: prostitutes

 

My friend is not happy with his prostitute suggestion from Google, he wanna get rid of it. So he contacted Google and they said its pulled by the Google Algorithm they can't do anything manually to fix it; unless the site has at least 500+ pages indexed on Google. Anybody experienced with Google knows that takes a lot of time for most websites, and in this case my friend is stuck with his prostitute for a while.

So where did they bring the prostitute? lol!

Seriously speaking, I think this should also be a lesson to learn for all of us. I am not against your friend as he chooses that name for his site. However, having a unique site name but sounds like another word is confusing especially if it is hard to spell.

I remember when I was still ignorant about You-Tube, I just heard the name and type U-tube at google search. And behold! I was lead to a video site and I was late to know that I made a mistake.

Just my 2 cents.
