Adult keywords is not allowed right?

In google ads, we cannot advertise adult or porn related keywords right? Even if someone does with cloakers its against rules and very likely to get acc banned.

If porn keywords is not allowed, then how is google calculating the following stat:

Kw: stripper porn exact match
country: usa
cpc: Over $1

How is google calculating CPC is if we cannot use porn related keywords? Or am I missing something and google now allows such ads ??

You got that data from the Google Ads keyword planner tool ? This & other tools are just a "ballpark", just for calculative & estimative purposes and not the 100% real picture. It gives data merely for estimative purposes.

I think it's just a machine algorithm and it works all the time the same way calculating CPC.

The estimated cpc for a keyword as per Google Ads keywords planner, has nothing to do with whether that keyword is allowed or not allowed to be advertised. It is merely estimates of cpc irrespective of whether a keyword is allowed or not allowed to be advertised.

In a cloaked campaign in Google Ads, advertisers use alternative keywords which are allowed to be advertised and which hence most likely to the maximum extent will draw clicks from the intended audience. In such cases lots of appropriate negative keywords also need to be added.

@Rollfic is this what you usually search in the Google keyword planner?

On a serious note, maybe some one did had found a loophole to run those ads and hence that data is feed in the ads algorithm. Tagging @bartosimpsonio , because he always runs "strip club" ads.
