Puff Cash - Whats with the fruity site names

If you just saw that logo, you'd probably start thinking of smoothies rather than porn.

The online world of pornography is a complicated one - far more complicated than a few people getting naked, lots of bodily fluids and maybe, just maybe, the use of some whips, chains or long pieces of vegetation.

It's a sprawling, actually rather unedifying mass of search engine positioning, Goodle AdWords and keywords as well. Which is why the naming of your site can usually mean more than actually having anything decent to show.

So it did leave me just what on earth is going on with the sites that have been submitted to us for a look from Puff Cash. I've been pondering over and over in my mind just exactly what these guys could be up to here.

I mean, okay, sometimes you use fruit-based euphemisms when referring to some aspects of porn. 'Melons' can refer to breasts. 'Plums' can, occasionally, refer to balls. And obviously the word 'cherry' has its own connotations.

So maybe they hit upon the idea of grabbing those Google hits using these words that maybe nobody else had considered? But they are stretching it a bit with 'kiwi' and 'orange', neither of which have played no part in any porn that I've ever seen.

It all leaves me in a state of utter confusion, especially so in that the content of the sites bears very little resemblance to the fruit it is saddled with. I only have one conclusion really, when it's all said and done.

They are insane. Or they don't give a crap about search engines. In which case, good on them.
