    This reminds me of the time that the movie XxX came out and it was difficult to find to pirate.

    When you name yourself anything with a lot of X’s then your search engine results are going to point to adult entertainment over the product

        google is broken anyway after 2 decades of people fucking with the algo by offering SEO services. The search results are basically random now unless you really focus your search term.

          Google should have added SEO detection that would allow a site to be near the top for enough time for an SEO consultant to get paid, then drop the site to page 4. SEO would have looked like a scam before long.
