Aside from the obvious tactic of non-porn websites using pornography-related words to attract traffic, it seems that some unscrupulous websites apparently use non-porn-related rare words by embedding them in the html, so that their sites appear high in the result sets of search engines. Rare words are good for this purpose because their incidence on the Web is quite low. Unsurprisingly, therefore, on typing 'heptaspermous' into Google, I obtained the following (partial) list of sites:
- Online Dictionaries at Datasegment.com and unofficial Webster listings
- Self-Promotion.com (A site FULL of advice on web sites and such things, including lists of ALL available domain names. Anyone interested in www.heptaspermous.com?)
- FREE Sizzling hot Asians Movies
- Hidden Changing Room Cameras
- FREE sizzling hot Free Play Online Gambiling (yes, that's what it says)
- MEGA Bondage Force
...the list goes on. A typical Google text snapshot from the page it has found would be this:
laryngorrhagia redeemably heptaspermous Photos Sexy. photochronography overimaginativeness ...
This clearly shows that the words are deliberately
sprinkled underneath the displayed page. A sample of the other rare words I encountered on these websites is given below. Some of these are not very effective (
phosphoryl, for example simply gives back a
plethora of
scientific papers), but others yield similar results to
heptaspermous, e.g.
erythrocytorrhexis.
narrative heptaspermous circumparallelogram nonaesthetic ferrum paramesial incompassionateness cholecystenterostomy skatole sulfapyrazine erythrocytorrhexis Overimaginativeness Nit Contubernium phosphoryl swanner counteraccusation Pneumonectasia photochronography redeemably laryngorrhagia
Note: Most of these words are not listed on Everything, which may indicate that (being mostly medical or scientific terms) they have come into being later than 1913.
Thanks to Professor Pi for suggesting that I re-name this writeup, as very few people were likely to find it under 'heptaspermous'.
