I’ve just added a new search option on link or die. Now if you are searching for something specific you just have to start that search and then move from site to site from the toolbar, I hope that the pictures will make it clear how this type of search works. If you find it useful or just want to say something about it leave a comment here.

The updates include:

  • better stemmer (I think this is the 3rd version, it should handle almost all the exceptions now).
  • new indexing algorithm that finally takes into account the fact that “fuck” is the most used word of all in porn, used more then “I”,” me”, “you”, “in” etc.. in about 20% of the videos.
  • our crawler now presents itself with the user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 ro89com
  • the new crawler doesn’t scan so fast now, we scan all the site simultaneous and we try to avoid loading pages from the same site consecutively. Sorry pornhub.com – please don’t redirect my bot again :)

I’m curenttly working with a friend of mine for a site with wordpress plugins. If you are a wordpress user you may like our plugins, here is a list:

From now on I will reply to comments faster. I finally activated the wordpres anti spam plugin and I hope that will keep out the hundreds of spam comments that I was getting each day. Thanks a lot for all the comments and I’m open to new suggestions and feedback.

byappI finally finish a new beta version of our task manager. Check it out here if you want and let me know what do you think.

help me make the site better, post a comment here with any suggestion or report problems. Do you see white pages, the search engine returns very bad results or the search engine doesn’t return nothing – let me know here.

I finally fixed a bug that has affected the softcore search section of the site for quite some time. Most of the videos didn’t start playing due to a very small thing that I’ve changed to make the site render faster.

Index improvement: if you’ve noticed, most of the queries are changed before ro89 returns something. For example if you search for “tit” it returns results that have “tits” in them. This process ads a shitload of complexity to the entire system because the index ends up less fragmented and for queries that use a lot of common words the db works with a lot of data. Our new system tries to avoid altering the form of very common words like “fucked, fucking, fuck etc..” in the hopes that now it can give you better results.

Until now the search engine had a lot of problems with some words, for example “animal” was equal with “anime” :)  – all the problems are fixed now and I’m also working to make it even better…. just wait :).

After lurking the /r/jailbait reddit, I decided to move on to /r/sex where I’ve found  this article about two popular tube sites pornhub and keezmovies. It seems that the two very popular web properties belong to brazzers – not that surprising if you think that a site like pornhub needs a shitload of money to run. I’m very curious where this will go… there are a lot of tube sites that are pirating content and are backed by adult studios. The free and small sites like mine :) are getting hit very hard because the tubes get all the ad money (and traffic) on the other hand the tubes are starting to affect sales of legal materials which in turn affects the adult studios that hold the tube sites online…

logoI’ve just updated our adult tube directory with some new sites but I’m running out of ideas so I’ve decided to make a contest.

The prize: a rapidshare account payed for 1 month.

What to do: post here in the comments an adult tube site that we don’t have on linkordie.com. To check if we have a site in our db go here

Rules: the tube site needs to work and it has to have a maximum of 1 pop up. If you send 2 or more sites each site is counted as a separate entry so you will have a bigger chance of winning. The winner will be chosen at random. Please leave your email address. The contest ends in 30 September.

We are working to add a new api to ro89.com . The REST api will provide some very usefull tools for sites that want to appear faster on our search engine. We will also provide free assistance and integration with your current system.

I hope that this move will allow us to provide a “live search” feature and to finally get rid of all the dead clips. On the other hand we are also working on a very different crawler – one that anyone can run and help us have a better index.

so.. please don’t worry, I do work on different projects but ro89 will evolve to be the best porn search engine and to have all the porn from this world :) .
