The odd delve into poker, porn, viagra, and the other hardcore industries is always interesting. I have a look around about once a year to see if I'm missing anything seo wise. Generally the answer is 'no'.

Thanks everyone for the Sphinns. I thought it was an interesting topic to bring out into the open a bit more. I'd love to hear all your comments (preferably on SEOmoz so I can keep track of them more easily).

Interesting article. I think one reason that SEOs who do optimization for adult sites might not mention it is because a lot of people assume that if you're doing SEO for porn sites, gambling sites, etc., you must be doing spammy black hat stuff.

Hell, at my company, someone applied for a marketing/SEO position and his resume included the fact that he had previously done SEO for a porn site. Upon seeing that, someone joked, "Well, he could probably teach us some black hat techniques."

Attitudes like that might be one reason why SEOs doing work for those industries don't openly admit to doing so.
