Puzzling Google Output

So I’m looking for a picture of a bald baby for use in a graphic I’m making for someone’s birthday. I enter “bald baby” (no quotes) into Google and I get the following hits:

plus many, many others in a similar and even more pornographic vein.

Observations and questions:

  1. Since when is “bald baby” a euphemism for something sexual? Is this term familiar to anyone? What does it refer to, the penis?

  2. Many of the hits are for websites that obviously have nothing to do with the text that was displayed. For instance, the third hit is for “www.josephcarlyledesigns.com”, which simply redirects you to eBay.

  3. There appears to be some skulduggery going on - someone is feeding fake webpages to Google just to get traffic. How is this done, technically? The text looks fake and machine-generated.

  4. What exactly is a “brown and white suck session”?

Removed the porn links from your OP. Please be more careful with what you copy and paste on to the SDMB!

I don’t know what “bald baby” means. But if you posted a thread with the title “Doing my bald baby” on this board, half the poster would think it’s dirty.
(My kind of place.)
I guess the one option would be for you to read the pages and find out what the context was.

Another entirely plausible scenario is that page designers are purposelly embedding such phrases in their pages so that their page gets a hit when you search for that string. The page might not even have any relation to the topic, but it comes up during your search, improving the chance that the page will be viewed. Sometimes they do this in white ink on a white background or black ink on a black background, so you don’t even see the words unless you highlight them (but the search engine finds them because it doesn’t consider "invisible ink.)

A brown and white suck session is, I’m assuming sex between a brown person and a white person. Or maybe it’s a rerun of CHiPs.

BTW, are you using the Google “Images” search instead of the Web search? You get a selection of images, perhaps saving you time. And the “advanced search” gives the option of using some filtering, which will cut down on porn sites.

Well, if “baby” is slang for a girl, I’d think “bald baby” might refer to her… haircut. At least that’s the first thing that comes to mind.

Oh man, a few years ago I was researching image formats, like GIF and Jpeg. The rules governing these formats are called specifications. So I go searching for “Jpeg specification” on Google, expecting some technical documents, and maybe half of the hits are porn. :confused:

I just tried again now, and it’s gotten better over the years. However, hit #1 still belongs to the dark side. Here’s an excerpt:

I thought you were pulling our jpegs, until I tried it. With a site that has “teen” in the url addy – well, I don’t even want to know.

Reminds me of a story, possibly true, possibly not, about a teacher who was teaching her students about animals. She needed pictures of animals and found it was easy to search for “lion photos,” “eagle photos,” etc.

Then she searched for “beaver photos.”

You want puzzling Google output? Try this link. It’s Google’s cache of its own home page, but the standard disclaimer,

is still plainly visible at the top of the page. How crazy is that?

Here’s how this works:

When you do a search and follow a link provided by the search engine, the site you are visiting can see what search engine you came from and what search criteria you used. Most sites log this information so they can determine where the majority of their hits come from. It’s called a “referrer log”.

Some porn sites use this information to construct fake pages which contain the search strings which people used to go to their site. The theory is that others who are interested in similar material will use similar search strings, so having pages with those search strings in their text will increase the chances that you’ll find their site.

What probably happened in the case of the “jpeg specification” search is that someone searched for those words, his eyes glazed over when he realized how boring a subject that is, and then he selected his favorite porn site from his bookmarks. The referrer log gives the URL of the last web page you viewed (the results of the “jpeg specification” search), even if you don’t follow a link from the search engine directly.

Try this: Search for “miyoko laid their quietly” in Google. You’ll find all sorts of things which Miyoko grabbed. Also, note that these pages seem to come from many different websites; however, I’d bet that they are all owned by the same company and many in fact may be fed from the same server.

Man, that’s strange.

Spoiler box because there are naughty words ahead:

[spoiler]Miyoko laid their quietly for sometime before grabbing hold of his celeb pics cock.

Miyoko laid their quietly for sometime before grabbing
hold of his white teens and their black lovers cock.

Miyoko laid their quietly for some teen porn lesbians before grabbing ahold of his cock.

Miyoko laid their quietly for sometime before grabbing hold of his Dan smells like pussy cock.

Miyoko laid their quietly for sometime before grabbing hold of his fisting com cock.[/spoiler]

Right, here are all the results like that. I really think one of these things is not like the others. :slight_smile:“teen porn lesbians”
“freefistingpics”
“white teens and their black lovers”
“celeb pics”
“Dan smells like pussy”
“hardcore anal sex”
“fisting cum”
“amsterdam prostitute”
“redheads sucking and fucking”
“naked pre teens htm”
“cum on face”
“jpeg specification”

Achernar - that looks like one of those ‘spot the odd one out’ tests they give you at school - only much more interesting!
