IMHO Adult magazines label themselves "adult" as a form of advertising. In
the same way, a site with a sufficiently hard core self-rating may attract
customers specifically because of the rating.

I predict that 6 months after the first internet rating system is widely
deployed, the largest use of search engines such as altavista will be to
look for pages with the most "naughty" ratings. Perhaps such services will
allow text searches for free, but charge for searches based on the rating
tag...

the big web engines already are getting their most hits for
the words on the http://www.c2.org/ page (see the source, it's in
comments.)
I still need to write mod_hotbabes.c for apache, though.
