I just tried this with [comstock films]. Once you get to [comstock fil] it fills in to [comstock films podcast], but no [comstock films]. I suppose the reason why is because our podcast is listed on several 'ligitimate' domains, while it looks like [comstock films] is on the same list as [nude]. Looks like [erosblog] and [violet blue] are on that list too. I wonder if this is why Google's Adword Keyword tool is making such "porn-spammy" suggestions? Anyway, like I said in comments over on Violet's blog, it's pretty discouraging. Wow. I just tried this with [comstock films].

In September I investigated the way that Google is set up to exclude all sorts of adult keywords from its search box populating algorithm, even when the searcher has set a cookie to allow adult searching. It seems fairly clear to me that the decision-makers at Google are not interested in providing useful adult results, even when they know that's what the searcher wants. http://www.erosblog.com/2008/09/22/googles-mechanical-prude/ Tony, I wouldn’t be quite so quick to give the Googlebot a free pass on erotophobia.
