Adult Insights Ep 21 Video

Are ethics important in adult? Everyone says yes... or at least most do at least while they have a camera pointed at them. Some, though, suggest that there's a grey area that is acceptable to operate in. Where do you draw the line? Would crossing it really affect your business? We hear thoughts from Monty from AVN, Jay D from CrazyShit.com, Kevsh, Avalanche from CherryPimps, Monica from HotMovies, Rob Waters from LiveBucks, SheDevil from Think Pink Online, HoneLynn from High Def Riches and Vegas Ken from The Best Porn.

Some faves:
Kevsh: "Any publicity is good publicity...the examples are numerous of where bad publicity has helped companies."
Avalanche: "People have no problem taking money and screwing people over."
Monica: "It's good to be aware of the other side... even if you don't employ them, you can see what you can do to take advantage of what other people are doing."

How important are ethics in adult??

Ethics are important in any business not just adult but you're either an ethical person or you're not.

It would be nice, but I'm seeing evidence of bent behaviour even from people I thought were to be trusted, so I guess it's naive to expect too much

[Dupont]

Each person has a different view on ethics

[Dutch Harry]

yeah what is the definition of unethical, like BH SEO techniques i don't find then unethical at all, but some people do, everyone has his own point of view when it comes to doing ethical business.

[Hammer]

So Harry, since everyone has their own ethics and some people don't see anything wrong with email spam or auto toolbar installs or posting stolen videos on tube sites, does that make them ethical or in other words, would you do those kinds of things?

[Dutch Harry]

No i would not, but i would and i will exploit a weaknes in SE algho, i will knowingly go against the SE unwritten rulles to get more traffic, but as far as the rest of your question, no i will not email spam or do auto toolbar installations, that is over the line for me.

Obviously, BH SEO can't be compared with some of the things that are out there, but if you're going to start a discussion, you need someplace to draw a line. Trying to pass off poor-quality information as bonafide content might waste a bit of someones time... could lead them to lose some hard earned bucks... but probably won't do them serious damage, unless they've bought a new penis enlargement pill that sends them to the emergency room. But at it's core, it's an attempt to fool search engines, which are tasked with finding the best quality content for users, into choosing different content. Again, this is SEO spam, not above-board SEO.

I think it's certainly ethically wrong... certainly for the purpose of this discussion!
