Sickos Searching for Kiddie Porn
A few months ago, on a movie news and opinion website of mine I wrote an article about what had previously been a great kid's cartoon shifting gears during it's third season into being much more "sexy". The cartoon in question was the animated series Justice League, which was re-christened Justice League Unlimited at the same time the change took place. Little did I know what sort of visitors that article would attract.
Why do I say that? Because since I titled it Justice League: Soft Core Porn For Kids? (due to my feelings on the subject, read the article for details) the page has received tons of traffic. Not from concerned parents, but from sick bastards searching for kiddie porn.
It blows my mind to see these visits on a movie and TV related website. I track visitors to my site and consistently in the top 10 phrases that visitors use to find the site from Google is the phrase "kids porn". Extend it into the top 20 and I also find "Justice League porn" and the truly disgusting term "porn for kids".
WTF is wrong with people? Freaking unbelievable...
Since the home page of that site is updated with the most popular posts in the sidebar, due to the nature of searches for that particular page, I actually went out of my way to remove that page from the "most popular" results due to the nature of the searches used to find it.
Although those searches rank up there, thankfully they are a small percentage of the overall visitors to my site. Most people are searching ScreenRant.com for stuff like info on Smallville, Spiderman 3 or the upcoming Iron Man movie. Still, it's disturbing to see people visiting the site looking for that other twisted stuff.
UPDATE
Heh, I've added some code to the site so that if someone tries to click through to that page using one of those search terms, it will give them a chance to go ahead if they're a concerned parent, but if not it will redirect them to a more... appropriate site. :-) If you want to see what happens, click here (don't worry, it's nothing bad or repulsive).
Comments
Urgh, just wrong.

Tell me about it. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to track exactly WHO hits the page based on what search term or I'd figure out some way to scare the crap out of them... Maybe I can come up with a hack to forward hits to the site from those searches to fbi.gov...

I understand exactly.
I won't link-jack this thread, but I've writen about The Little Mermaid, Spongebob Squarepants and other topics concerning childrens media.
According to my site stats, most of the people who stumple upoon these articles were searching for child porn.
It's rather discouraging when you realize that no one wants to search for the essay you wrote about an important issue - instead most just want to look at porn.

Exactly. My point was to warn parents about the content of a TV show that was rated "Y7". I'm actually working a writing some code that will redirect those searches to the FBI site for a bit of a jarring experience for those folks. :-)

I think you're overreacting. They're probably just people looking for porn cartoons -- hentai, japanime, or the like. Maybe not, but I think you should give them the benefit of the doubt. After all, a majority of traffic online is now porn; and frankly it's mostly harmless.

It's one thing to search for that kind of stuff (actually, it's still twisted) but "porn for kids"?
Sorry, to me there is no misinterpreting of that.

nicely done. i've noticed similar disturbing statistics on my site - but mostly from referer sites (sites people were one before coming to mine). there are several weird p0rn sites, which i can't seem to understand.
i mean, i'm not that attractive...
