#1 On A Popular Google Search

About 10% of Pursuing Holiness’ traffic is now coming from search engines, in particular Google, for a search phrase used to locate a particular porn site. I started noticing some odd referrals, and when I did the search and realized what happened, I linked a keyword-packed post to Setting Captives Free, a ministry with free, online, mentored bible studies for pornography, food issues, substance abuse, and gambling.

I have to admit, when I look at the click paths to see how many people came here looking for porn, and got sent to a site that helps people break their addiction to pornography, I’m a little amused. Of all things for this site to be #1 on a search for, I never figured pornography would be it. I get a lot of traffic for “holiness” searches and I hope those folks are not as disappointed in this site as the pornography folks must be. But I’m more sad than amused. Please pray for these folks. Don’t assume they are all lost, either. 47% of Christians (including women) report issues with pornography. It’s a serious problem for a lot of people. Please pray especially for those that click through to Setting Captives Free, that they browse the site and sign up for the free course.

But I did get to send lots of people seeking porn here, so it’s been great, oddly enough, to be associated with that search. I don’t doubt it’s been giving the webmasters of the “real” site fits, to have a Christian site getting their search engine traffic. (Mwahahaha!!!) [...]
