Do the test. Go to Google and type “masturbation” in the search box. Because you are looking for some serious and reliable information on the subject. What you get? You probably already know. At least 500.000 links to porn sites. Think that is a lot? Well, actually it is much more!
The root of this problem is in three things:
1. Search engines (not just Google) do not research the net nor the “information” they pretend to offer. They simply have robots that crawl the Internet 24 hours a day every day looking for only one thing: the pages that best fit their submission criteria.
2. The adult industry as a collective is a master in manipulating search engines and they do not mind using every trick in the book, including the ones that are in the “forbidden” chapter.
3. Most importantly: the first really useful search tool for the Internet – that can be used by ordinary people like you and me – has yet to be invented.
So how do you bypass or eliminate all the BS?
The truth is: trying to avoid all of it is impossible. But, the good news is …….. there are ways to avoid most of it.
Ask questions
A single word search in any search engine is usually useless. It will simply bring up thousands of sites that have the word you are looking for as a “keyword” in their text, their invisible meta tags, or both. Porn sites use software to search for the most frequently used search terms (including typing errors) and will pack their pages with them. So “masturbation” will get you nowhere. To be exact: it will bring up 20.700.000 results in Google. Not very productive.
