Unfortunately 90% of users are dumb and don't realize there is more than Google around. What some webmasters above don't understand is that so many people don't even know there is another search engine besides Google. So the statement that users have a choice is bullshit.

There are so many people that type in google the name of a website although they could go directly to it.

I have a unique domain name, created many years ago with great traffic. Let's call it: keyword78. After many years of being first place for the search "keyword 78", which was clearly a bookmark search, now my site is nowhere. I can only rank with keyword78.

Meanwhile the results for keyword 78 are completely random and unrelated. How did Google improve the searches by doing that? For me, Google is worse than ever. And looks like they still want to become even more evil
What was the actual content like of keyword78.com?

I don't know how many searches are for adult but I imagine it is a lot. So it would be madness for Google to not show porn when the relevant terms are used. You lot are just complaining your site isn't scoring as high as it used to.

Get with the program and realise Google has changed and you have to change with it. Make tours more interesting, show lots of preview videos, behind the scenes, interviews, etc. And stop relying on keywords and domain names, you've had it far too easy for too long.
