Google’s Matt Cutts On Why Porn Sites Have Such A Low Page Rank
Recently an adult webmaster asked Matt Cutt’s of Google why porn site do not enjoy high Page Ranks.
“What are the technical reasons porn sites have such low PageRank?
“None go over PR6.
“A lack of links from trusted sites? Rampant link exchanges with low quality sites? Penalties for affiliate links? Or is there a general penalty on the industry?”
“Cutts, who says the Google doesn’t have an antiporn rule, theorizes it has to do with popularity vs. links, saying PageRank looks at the number of links and the quality of those links to a site, not the popularity of the site.”
“People very rarely link to porn sites, even though a lot of people visit a lot of porn sites,” he says. “Not that many link from within the adult industry.”

This Matt Cunt opps..Cutts, -he is like Ben S. Bernanke of the Federal Reserve and maybe more powerful in the internet world…?
matt cutts is a propaganda tool for google.
doesnt make sense what he just said. Look at pornhub or redtube or youporn in theory they should all have higher than pr6
in reality PR doesnt fucking matter much if any
SEO and PR are the 2 biggest scams …..
Suckers born every seconds. Man-I love this BS domain game.
PR is a red herring. It doesn’t mean anything anymore. But lots of clueless people still think it does.
Google is not anti-porn but think about how many kids are using Google every day.
Having your results constantly be full of porn is not going to make for good PR (Public Relations).
I liked the story of Cutts’ wife baking cookies to coax his co-workers into helping him purge porn results.
It has to be done.
The porn peddlers are just too pervasive on the internet; the amount of porn on the network is staggering. You can bet the porn purveyors are naturally high in SER for a great may queries but when your audience is what Google’s is, they must be purged.
Have you ever been searching for something entirely non-pornographic and had the results be full of porn sites? It can really make you doubt the usefulness of the search engine you’re using, if not the general internet as a whole.
I have no doubt this would happen more frequently if some people at Google weren’t doing the drudgery of removing porn from SER for non-pornographic queries.
Finding porn is ridiculously easy (and it’s scary to think of the effect this is having on young people). It doesn’t need to be made any easier by having it at the top of more SERPs.
