The question is, what are the facts in our industry? Or rather, are there any facts in our industry that Google cares enough to track? They apparently have a database of 2.8 million facts. What sort of things in porn might get onto that list? Will I need to discuss more current affairs if I want to rank highly? But what counts? Maybe something like Mike Dozer being convicted of having sex with a minor? Will this mean sites like Str8UpGayPorn will rank better because they talk about current affairs and mention porn stars legal names?
Or will porn be like say recipe sites where there are no objective facts, no “best bread pudding recipe”. Or more likely, Google just doesn’t care to track the facts about porn.
The porn biz is probably one of the industries that is the most factually incorrect. Even the mighty Google can’t figure out which facts are true and which are false.
Maybe we can mislead Google and include “studies show that” in scene descriptions
And scary that Google sets themselves up as arbiter of all things factual, correct, or right.
Things like “Tokyo is in Japan” are indisputable, but from there we jump off into an abyss of opinion and grey areas, you know, like saying that “Obama is a great president.” Ask 100 people that one and you’ll likely get 100 different answers. Which one is right?
I’m wondering how Google is gathering this data to assert what is a fact and what is opinion.
If they have a massive database of facts, how have they achieved this? It has to be based on something other than gathered information, because not all of that information is going to be factually correct.
And how do they then plan to change these facts without delay once one has been known to be false?
For instance, someone might claim that it’s a fact that there are 3,004 species of Frog in the world, but another species is being discovered every three months. Who is responsible for clearing this up and keeping it accurate?
There’s far too little information about this supposed change to be able to make any real judgment on what we can do or how it might impact on us. The most important thing to keep an eye on is whether this turns out to involve comparison statements. For instance, if you have performer profiles and ten sites out there claim a guys cock is 9" long, and you say 10", does Google deem you to be factually incorrect?
Yeah, I’m not certain how this data will be collected or evaluated when it come to porn. We’re selling fantasies, if I’m doing a post I read the description from the sponsor first, watch the scene or trailor, then embellish it to suit the mood of the content.
Would it be wise to highlight keywords or captions that are factual, versus the search terms? I don’t think so but as long as we continue to jump through the endless myriad of hoops G presents, we should be fine.
