While my traffic stats are holding steady, it looks like the content warning page Google added to this blog will prevent search engine robots from indexing the pages. Even Technorati shows the warning page as a thumbnail, and all posts from the past couple of days are unlisted.
So, I will definitely be moving this blog to my own domain name www.diaryofanudist.com. Please update your bookmarks now, because that URL links to this current blog, and will transfer to the new one when I have it set up. I will try and import the 1000+ posts from here to there, but I don't know how successful that will be. Either way, I won't shut down this site for awhile so the posts will not just disappear.
It's very disappointing that Google has chosen to begin targeting nudist blogs. It's just another sign that society views nudism as a sexual activity, and related photographs to be pornographic. Some of the other blogs which have been censored are The Terra Cotta Inn, Art Nudes, Sonhar Primeiramente, and The Buckeye Naturists. Certainly more will follow. No doubt Google is responding to complaints from people, who have nothing better to do than to try and suppress freedoms.

It seems kind of strange that so nudist blogs have been hit by the Google Warning page all of a sudden. Call me paranoid but it seems to be organized, probaby by self-appointed guardians of America's morals who have nothing better to do. The Buckeye Naturists blog doesn't even contain "objectionable" language let alone nude imagery.
Maybe I'm on the list too. I can easily move my content but the URL change won't be very smooth.
Art Nudes has had the warning for quite a while now, and they have shown questionable art in the past. However, another blog got hit recently: http://therawfiles.blogspot.com/ They are a clearly artistic site, and everything they show could easily hang in a gallery. It seems google's policy has changed to punish any blogger that shows a nipple. Google used to have the motto "Don't be evil", and they did really good for a while...but they are clearly changing their ways.
