search engine domination

IMHO Google will eventually go down that route, and where Google goes, others will follow (any move towards protecting surfers from unwitting exposure to porn would win them a lot of kudos in high places). They can pretty well do what they like. And they will.

Oooo...even better, they could setup a separate search engine and charge the surfer $25/month for access.

To me it seems that Google does need to include adult sites in their free listings because with certain terms, only porn sites are relevent.

But, even if they did start charging, with so many people searching for adult sites, a $25 fee to be included in a separate paid Google search engine would be the best $25 a webmaster would ever pay.
