Youtube forbidden words?

[Hole_of_Sin]

Hello guys!

I am from Czech metal band Hole of Sin. I know we will never be famous, but we are trying to get atleast some fans. Few people had problems finding us because our name contains word "hole", which it seems is on youtube/google forbidden word. You know, they always remember something about Hole, but they often forget our full name. So when they try to find our band, they have hard time because our band wont appear in the list. You know, they remember something about Hole, maybe one word from some song, but it wont appear on the list.

Does anyone have similar issue? Did you do something about it?

Assuming your band has released an EP called Paroxysm Of Hubris, and your channel has 69 subscribers the problem isn't the name because I found it in about 3 seconds flat.

As far as I can tell the word hole is not forbidden, even words like asshole and glory hole are not forbidden. (Of course some words could be restricted by location due to government laws etc but hole is not generally an issue for most.)

I would suggest you need to understand how Google/YT works, understand searching, understand meta tagging, geo-tagging and at least a very basic understanding of SEO. It's not an easy learning curve, especially given how quickly things change, but if you want to market a band on the internet it's not really that much different to marketing a business, you have to understand what your market place is.

Once upon a time getting your name on a forum by posting a message like the above would be a good way to get search engines etc to recognise your name, but in today's market you could make a hundred threads on a hundred forums and it still could have zero impact.

Thank you for help. 

My english is not particularly the best, so I think I didn´t make it clear enough - I meant the list, the bar, when you try to find something on google and you write something like "Hello" and there comes the list with various options, like "Hello Kitty", "Hello world". And when you write "hole" the list does not come up, like when you write other words, like "vagina" idk 😁

The word hole is associated with so many things, it's not surprising that an almost unknown band with virtually no web presence doesn't come up. Those lists are not generated because the name exists, those lists are generated because they are popular search terms. They can also be created on a users system, (i.e your system may produce different lists than mine based on what we've searched). If your band name was as popular (as searched for) as the band Hole, Hole of Sin would come up in those lists.

As I said you need to understand how search engines work, how they populate lists for search terms, there really is no quick way of this happening. Longevity, popularity, and a constantly updated web presence on multiple platforms all help, but nothing is guaranteed.

So when you write "Hole" on google you have scroll bar with options with unsearched sentences? If yes, then there is something wrong with my search engine, because nothing comes up (and I dont talk about my band now, I mean like nothing)

If I write anything in the google search bar, as any search engine, a bunch of suggested terms may appear related to the words I've searched, but it doesn't happen all the time. That list is auto generated by multiple different things, but it's not always the same and it's not always there.

If you are not seeing anything at all come up it could be a browser setting, try a different browser. It could also be malware, it could also be that you have some sort of cache/cookie cleaner running. Honestly the options are many and varied.

However what you are talking about now has nothing to do with your band and its ability to be shown in YT or google as you first suggested.

Ok, will check out for the malware etc. Thank you!

As I said, my abilities to express some kind of problem in english are not greatest, so maybe that was the issue. Thanks for your patience.

No worries. I hope you find your issue. There is still a number of other possibilities but it's pointless going through everything all at the same time you need to take one step at a time.

It's a setting, you can turn the suggestions on and off at will. Probably got turned off somehow by mistake or without your knowing. I'd check that simplest of possible solutions first.

 

I've noticed when I type ""Killa" that "Kukumba" doesn't ever come up as a suggested search term, do you think there's someting wrong with my machine?

[AlSymerz]

I would suggest your computer is one of those 'smart machines'
