Saw this at Yahoo:

Neat info about how the word "porn" gets people to click your link just because of the name...

Ulanoff told me that I had to do a follow-up to the "Free Porn" column since it has consistently been in the top readership list since it was published. "It's unbelievable," he said. "Every month it shows up in the list of top page views. It's never at the top, but it keeps showing up." Perhaps it's never at the top because it has nothing to do with porn. Just the use of the word is enough to pump up the numbers. Are online readers so drawn to porn that they aggressively seek it out? No wonder the amount of pornographic e-mail come-ons has been slipping. Why bother with spam? Just set up a porn site and the readers will seek you out.

damn you for making me click in here.

Anyway, I think it's about time we followed the Europeans' example in that nothing bad will happen to us if we are less discreet about pornography. We could always phase it in... just like how assh0le is allowed on network television. Yeah, there's an idea.

Can't blame Janet for trying...

what are you? -- a historian/view counter of this thread?;)

The whole point of this thread is to see if people view it just because of the word "Porn". Did you not read the article?

Well. Lots of people looked, but not many posted to keep it bumped so I guess it sort of worked...
