Fri, 23 Nov 2007 08:50:57 +0000 http://www.letspromoteit.com/2007/11/06/no-pr-to-pr-4-in-just-6-weeks/#comment-8 [...] It is often argued that domain age is in important factor in assigning a page’s rank (notice the fine print: I did not say “pagerank” ;)). However, most folks say that the age factor applies only to the hostname. So www.ferientips.com would have that plus, but greencard.ferientips.com would not. I personally always tended to agree to that school of thought. Now, I begin to question it. I had a similar experience with the site spacelaunch.gerhards.net. This is a high quality blog site about space launches and space in general. It gained Google attention and pagerank very quickly.

Of course, that's true. But still, google checks the click-through rate of ads and selects those that have the highest bid and the best click-through rate. Both factors are important. So a lower-bid ad shows up if the click-through rate is high and the overall result is better. So, yes, advertisers have to do with the fact that the porn ads show up, but there is also a lot of statistics involved.
