Dubious number one MSN search ranking for CTDT


After a week's break in writing for CTDT, I checked the referral logs to see how people were discovering this page. Entering the search string 'porno reading material' (without quotation marks) into MSN's search engine brought up the following results....and as of today, it might appear that CTDT is number one in porno reading material...Akkkkkkkk..hrrrrummph!
MSN Search Results - CTDT
If you arrive here looking for pornographic materials, you are in the wrong place. I will defend the First Amendment, but I do not like what the purveyors of smut publish on the Internet. There is no winning this losing battle. If we allow the legislation of one type of speech, how long will it be before art, music, religion, etc. are not in some one's crosshairs.

Of course, now that I have a blog post that includes the words porn, pornographic, and smut in the text, there is no telling what will happen in the rankings.

By the by, the blog post referenced in the MSN search was actually my Happy Blogversary article... 'looks like I forgot to clean up after the party.

UPDATE: A grateful wag of the tale to Ng Wilson for letting me know that I am not alone, yafle.com, a new social networking blog discovery for me, is well ranked in MSN using the search string 'lesbian experiences'...good grief! ...and while I am wasting blog space, I'll make my contribution to the googlebomb for online poker.

I get a laugh from search strings all the time. Perhaps I need a hobby?

BusyMom, LOL. I am pretty sure that you have your hands full...besides, you already have a life. (something that I cannot say applies to the porn industry).

HI Paul,

I just got off from www.yafle.com where he was complaining I think in his post that he also tops when searching for Lesbian experiences (grin)...

I guess there is still much to think that search engine technology can still be improved ...

the digital divide is becoming a contentious issue among our politiicans, and I will update you what they say (grin).

all the best,

Glad to learn I'm not alone in my MSN search confusion!

Adding your blog to my Bloglines roll. It's been a while since I've dealt with issues of unequal access to digital technology formally, but I've always found the question intriguing.

And, who knows: I might pick up some porno reading material along the way.

What kind of search phrase is that, anyway? It makes as much sense as another odd one of mine, "good books for young adults about cool stuff like drugs." Who in their right mind would enter that into any search engine?

Michael,

Welcome to CTDT and the MSN search confusion club. I am waiting on any posting of pornographic material here until MT comes out with a 'pornograph plug-in' :)...NOT!
