Re: Using “Boy” To Promote A Site with 20-somethings…
I get called “girl” and I’m in my mid-thirties. Older women are referred to as “older gals” often. So, I see no problem with the word boy, as long as it’s nowhere near the word “young”.
Re: Using “Boy” To Promote A Site with 20-somethings…
Perhaps it’s because of the niches I work in, but I have not had a big struggle with the word boy. On Gay Porn Pig when I say “Hot Boy Sucking Daddy’s Cock,” there’s little doubt about what I’m talking about. It’s a role playing thing and it’s done on fetish sites all the time.
When I wanted to start a UGAS hub to recirculate a lot of Euro, uncut cock content I registered Euro Boys Club and when you see the content, it’s a lot of the kind of stuff Bjorn mentioned in his post.
I would have no problem calling a 40-year-old man a “muscle boy,” although I’d be more apt to start calling him a “muscle daddy.”
While boy has connotations of “young” in some markets, in others it means “submissive” â dirty pig boy, nasty boy, cum hungry boy, butt boy …
I wouldn’t have a problem with you using “Euro Boys” in promoting your stuff, I’d know what that means. If you want to clarify it further you could say things like “Euro Muscle Boys.”

I think the issue is Google, who wants everything to be a formula they can apply to all sites evenly… Now imagine them trying to figure out the difference between a sub “boy” and a teen…
Humans can tell the difference, but can GoogleBot? Then again they always say build the site for users not for spiders…

You won’t have a problem with google results. We get spidered every day on justusboys.com and have 203,000 pages listed in the index. BUT, as BassChick says, we can’t buy traffic from google using adwords and send it directly to our site.
Regarding the use of the word “boys”, I don’t think it is an issue at all. We have dozens upon dozens of photos here in the office of men well over the age of 60 proudly wearing their Just Us Boys tshirts.

google lists millions of porn sites that say boy in the title or in the text. it’s only with their paid ads that you can’t use the words boy or girl, even if it’s “21 year old college boy”.
