A New Adult Search Engine Emerges It Has Promise

Theres much to like here:  I sincerely hope it catches on.

This is an Interview with Founder Colin Rowntree who has been in porn as long as I have (At least)

How is searching on Boodigo different than just searching on Google, or than searching on video hosting sites?

Boodigo provides safe, anonymous and reliable search results for any kind of adult entertainment sites.   Rather than just video hosting listings, Boodigo provides results for traditional membership sites, porn star sites and blogs, adult industry news sites, sex toy stores and even a special function that allows for Tumblr fans to get adult listings inside of Tumblr (now that Tumblr has banned internal search for adult keywords and phrases).

What differentiates Boodigo from Google is the core focus of search results are actual legal adult sites, and excludes piracy sites, as well as non-adult listings for adult content searches on such publications as Ladies Home Journal and Redbook (bedroom sex tips, anyone?).

Boodigo commits to not use cookies or other user-tracking technologies to gather information about your users. Why should this be important to guys?

The other prime motivation for us developing Boodigo was to provide surfers with an anonymous and secure search platform that does not set cookies or user-tracking in order to mine data about users.   All sessions are encrypted.   Surfers come, search, find what they are looking for and leave without having traces of what they were doing at an adult search site on their home computer or other shared device.   As the old joke goes, a woman says to her husband “Honey, I went on Google today and started searching for Amazon new products, but your auto-fill popped up Amazing Hardcore Cuckolding Movies. Is there something you’d like to tell me?”

Talk about the whole topic of Boodigo fighting against piracy?

The issue of piracy of adult intellectual property on illegal torrents, fileshare and tube sites has been a massive problem for the adult entertainment industry for well over 8 years now.   This has significantly impacted adult film studios, performers, editors, film crews and premium sites to the point where so much stolen content is online for free, the loss of revenue has caused the industry to pull back on production of new films. When this happens, porn stars suffer, as do all of the other folks in the adult film infrastructure.

At this point, it’s difficult for surfers to even find quality, legal content on Google at all, and Bing returns page after page after page of results for illegal download sites.  That’s not helpful!

Why this is important for guys (and gals) putting in the effort to use (and sometimes purchase) legal videos is that it supports the adult entertainment industry and their favorite porn stars that try so hard to provide good, hot and entertaining content for them.  If no one buys anything, the result is obvious that there simply will not be new content for them to enjoy, new rising starlets to follow, and innovative studios to subscribe to for new releases.

As for the virus and malware topic, it is critical for surfers to avoid torrents, fileshare services and illegal tubes like the plague.   Traditional and legitimate sites, blogs, stores and the like have a strong motivation not to be serving viruses:   they want you to become a loyal customer and will bend over backwards (as it were, in some cases) to provide a safe and secure place for customers to enjoy their sexuality and come back for more!   This is why Boodigo lists them with priority, and bans illegal and potentially harmful sites by the hundreds every day

It’s an interesting partnership—the two of you who have the background in erotic sites, and ex-Google programmers. Do you feel like this was sort of the perfect marriage of both sides to create such a site?

Angie and I started our first adult website quite by accident in 1994.  Wasteland.com originally was just an experiment to see if folks would like to order a free mail order catalogue we produced of kinky leather bondage sex toys and apparel.   We very quickly discovered that a LOT more people on that new “internet thing” were more interested in looking at pretty women and hot men in leather than ordering a mail order catalogue.  With that in mind, within a few months we developed a very primitive premium membership site and the rest was history.   By 1999, Angie had developed and launched one of the first “porn for women” sites – Sssh.com – and that took off like a rocket with women and couples.

By the year 2000, we had grown to the point of needing a dedicated programmer to keep up with tech innovation and that programmer we hired is who, a year ago, put together the Boodigo development team at his firm,  comprised of a VERY bright team from both adult and mainstream sectors.   It’s a match made in heaven as they not only have vast experience in the nuances of the adult internet, but also understand modern-day search technology. In coming weeks, we will be making keyword-based advertising for qualified adults sites available.  And, on the horizon are other cool features such as encrypted and secure instant text messaging which, obviously, we will name “BoodiCall”!

It should also be noted that Boodigo is working with ASACP to filter out search terms and results that might lead to child pornography.  I tried it out and even though Im listed #1 on google for a lot of search terms  I wasnt even on boodigos radar  nor was southernbukkake but I expect they will fix that post haste!  Good luck to them!
