Ryan,

I think the most savory explanation is that they are trying to distinguish sites with adult content in order to provide filtering options.

Emre, I’m sure that’s what it is, but there’s got to be a better way … right? I don’t see Google seeing if my website reacts to cumshot. Maybe Microsoft needs to hire a few smart engineers to figure this out.

They checked my site today for “prozac”. I also see “diazepam” in my search keyphrases, probably from them also.

I came across this same weirdness in our logs today, two-searches for eyebrow raising terms….thanks for posting this. It’s a weird one from MS.

Yesterday they checked my blog for “payday advance” — perchance this is a Microsoft employee doing a bit of personal research on company time…?!

Incidentally, my blog is where I post items tangentially related to my sociological research in sicily… lots of corruption, inequity, and scandal… nothing to do with cumshots, prozac, diazepam, or payday advances!

It all makes me wonder if some hapless msft employee has spent too much money on porn-site memberships and online prescription drugs and now needs a payday advance to tide him (or her) over until October 1st…
