I'll be a bit scared doing that, with all the instances I've been thinking how easy it will be to have malware links. How is shi.t.justwo.rks or whatever less random than a malicious link?
Search engines have their own "trustworthiness" metric that they keep track of for sites they index. That's why you usually don't find malware in the top results for most searches, unless you're going down some already shady rabbit holes.
