Could your site be incorrectly flagged as a porn site? Yes it could. Read on and I’ll supply you with an easy fix.
There was a post in a forum that access was denied to a video because OpenDNS stated the site contained: Nudity, Pornography. The site?
http://www.butterflymarketing.com/
Newsflash: The site isn’t porn, far from it … it’s Mike Filsaime sitting on a couch discussing his Butterfly Marketing Technique. I know what you’re thinking: Thank GOD it isn’t porn! 
What is OpenDNS? According to their site they provide industry-leading Web content filtering, anti-phishing, DNS infrastructure and navigation services.
Let’s look at why OpenDNS pinned this site as: Nudity, Pornography. We’ll use DomainTools, which is one of my favorite tools, to uncover the possible reasons.
First, let’s look at the screenshot from OpenDNS:
ly Marketing OpenDNS Details
As you can see it was originally tagged as Advertising, which is how it should be tagged, but then it was hit with “Nudity” and “Pornography” categories. And then those categories were approved. I have been stating for years that when you do business online you need to watch “the company you keep” and that includes the domain which share the IP address of your domain.
Let’s check what DomainTools says about the domain:
Domain Tools Info on ButterflyMarketing.com
Look at the area that states “Reverse IP” … do you see all the domains listed? In looking at these domains, we find the problem. One of the ways systems detect “nudity” or “pornographic” sites is the names of the actual domain. For example, if it spiders the domain name “SexKitten.com” it can reasonably assume it is porn without having someone actually going to the site to verify, right?
Right.
But here is the problem. Because the algo it looks for “sex” and tags sites as “adult” it seems the domains or subdomains caused this issue. Check the screen shot below:
Look at result #66 on this IP address, butterflymarketingmanuscriptsexposed.com. Or allow me to write it another way:
butterflymarketingmanuscriptSEXposed.com
See the issue? The word SEX appears “accidentally” in the domain name, thus triggering the filter. Filters can also be triggered if the domain was bought “used” and it was a former porn site.
How do you fix this? It’s easy. Just move butterflymarketing.com (your main domain) to a dedicated IP address. Problem solved. And it will cost you a whopping dollar extra per month in hosting.
Now, sometimes if your business is so big and you have hundreds of domains, or you have a strong following as Filsaime does with a ton of affiliates, or you have a bunch of subdomains … all these issues could cause you harm if a “dirty word” is inadvertently listed in the domain.
Could it be an accident? Sure. Is this problem Filsaime’s fault? No. The content filtering system is at fault. However, you can’t wait for them to fix the problem. You have to take a proactive approach.
Don’t let this happen to your business. Use clean, dedicated IPs for your main domains, and never “stack” your domains with over 200 on a single IP address. Oh, and look at your domains carefully when you register them for any “unsuspecting” words. Just ask the guy who owns the business “Pen Island.”
The main reason I started the SEO Revolution was out of frustration. Frustration at all of the lies and misconceptions that are posted in forums, given as advice in teleconferences, and even taught in live workshops. "So why didn't all of this work?" " Why wasn't my site successful?" " Why am I still stuck in a rut?"
