    Saw this site/page in my logs. IMO their intentions aren't as innocent as they try and portray...

    http://www[dot]seriousliving.net/new-1503688-1081.html

    See bottom especially, there's 5 links of which I checked out one and that's full on Porn. OK they're not live linked but it has been theorized Google catches up on non-linked URLs anyway so we could have a bad neighbourhood issue here.

    They might not 'really' be in the Co-op though as in receiving ads but I'd like that verified.

    I find this dodgy. How about you?

    Looks like it was taken down. Can't reach the page.

    I think it verges on innappropriate. Do they have ads pointing to them, or are they just running the co op?

    I don't know and I'm not in a position I can check.

    If those bottom links weren't there the whole story was different IMO. The rest of the site looks like it's for content only (as oppose to visitors) but I can live with that to be honest.

    Just those porn OBLs are deceitful IMO.

    Well there definitely is nothing porn pointing TO it. I'm guessing they are using something that aggregates data automatically (like maybe usenet postings).
