When does art cross the boundary to adult content?

oil paintings

I'm about to set up a site for an artist in oils and a few of the subjects are very scantilly clad. Anyone know what the cut off is for Fine Art vs adult content?

Nobody knows...but I have an art site with nudes that was reviewed for adsense and they said it was okay. Scantily clad isn't adult content I don't think...depends on how the subject is posed and what they are doing...

I don't know if you're trying to make sure the site is picked up by the filter, or optimize in some way so that it slides under it. Either way. I'd recommend simply putting appropriate descriptive text on the page so that Google's algorithms can do whatever it is that they do.

Matt Cutts discussed this briefly in one of the viedos he released recently. If I understood correctly, and it was a litle surprising to me, Google doesn't make use of any of the standard META tags that are used to identify adult content.

I think its horses for courses - YOU know it when YOU see it - its just that different folks have different views - or put another way - theres black and white 99% of people will discriminate between that well its just that there are very many shades of grey and where things get more black than white can be very subjective
