Sex Search

I am completely bored while in a a boring teleconference course. The teacher lectures in a monotone that would put a kid with ADHD to sleep. MY GOD!!!

So I am messaging my buddies and we were talking about all the stupid porn sites that are popping up on Facebook. I don't know how they do it, but some people have direct links to them. You click to send them a message or add themand you are directly transported to some "LIVE WEBCAM GIRLS" site or "HOT GIRLS CUMMING FOR YOU" site. I thought Facebook was supposed to be semi-safe for work!

Now, I admit I occasionally check out a porn site or two, but I am not an addict or anything. Anyway, we are messaging about how many porn sites there are and we decide to kill time by doing some research. We each take a term and decide to do a search for that term. There are 4 of us, so we take 4 terms: Sex, porn, fuck, and XXX. We decide to do a search on Google and Yahoo for each term. I get assigned SEX for my homework.

So I start my search on Google. Within 0.05 seconds, I got the results of about 2,830,000,000 web pages for sex. This was the result for my search in the category Web. Now let's move on and try out the other categories... in the category Images my search for sex already took a little bit longer (0.06 seconds) and delivered me results of about 398,960,000  saucy images for sex. SafeSearch was off. Next Category: Video.  The search quickly yields 2,970,000,000 of sex videos! They also have a category for blogs.  I had 134,000,000 hits on blogs that dealt with sex. Let's do our final search for sex now in the category News. Within 0.32 results of about 81,600,000 news articles about sexfor sex.

So here is the breakdown for Google:

Web: about 2,830,000,000 results for sex (That's almost 3 BILLION!!!)
Images: about 398,960,000 results for sex
News: about 81,600,000 results for sex

Blogs: about 134,000,000 results for sex
Video: 2,970,000,000 results for Sex (Once again, almost 3 Billion!!!)

But what about Yahoo? Does Yahoo get the same number of results for sex? Let's try it out...

I start again with the Category Web and entered "sex" into the search box. I got 125,000,000 hits for sex. Let's move on to the category Images. This category gives me results of 77,676,451 images for sex.. On Yahoo we also have the category Video, so I checked this out too: the search gave me 1,280,799 results for sex. Another category we didn't have on Google is Directory, which has just 4,681 results for sex. The next one we can compare again: News. Within this category there are 52,583 results for sex. They also had a blog category.  There are 1,344,148 blogs dealing with Sex that is indexed by Google (I wonder if this is one of them?) A very interesting one was the last category Shopping. I got 118,000,000 hits for sex. There are a lot of Sex Shops out there!

Here again the results for the keyword sex at Yahoo, of the categories we also have at Google:

Web: about 125,000,000 results for sex
Images: about 77,676,451 results for sex
News: 52,583 results for sex

Blogs:  1,344,148 results

Videos: 1,280,799 videos

Shopping:  118,000,000 results for sex

So in general it seems, for the keyword sex, Google is the clear winner, having many more results than Yahoo!  Unless you are specifically shopping for all things sex, then you would go with Yahoo!  So Google is the king of SEX!!!  Congratulations to Google.

Of course there are a lot of other search engines out there too - but I did not have the time to check 'em out all and Google and Yahoo are my favorite ones, if I am looking for something on the web.  I really should give Bing a try soon.  

Anyway, I am posting my results. I am going to wait and see if my research colleagues did their part. Hopefully, I will get some info from them to post in the near future. We are all in this class, but at different sites. It is a TV type course. Two of the guys couldn't search for their words since it was blocked at the  site they were at. They promise they will get it done tonight.

I guess that is it. Man, I am soooooo bored!!!!!!! If anyone wants any other search comparisons, post them. Maybe I can do some type of research paper on internet sex searches. Maybe we are becoming a perverse society!!!!! ;)
