I got an email today that concerned me, and prompted me to address here. A potential sponsor asked, “I am looking to sponsor a category in adult, but I notice that you no longer link from the main page. Are you going to remove the adult branch, or is it safe to sponsor a category?”

Though we have indeed removed the link to Adult from the directory index page, we have absolutely no plans to remove the Adult branch from the directory. As we have grown in size and visitor traffic, we have received more and more requests questioning the easy access to Adult content directly from the index page (plus quite a few requests to remove the Adult branch altogether). In an effort to maintain a comprehensive directory cataloging all types of information available online, we feel that Adult content DOES have a place in the Best of the Web directory. We do however agree that making the adult material a bit less conspicuous would be in everybody’s best interest.

So, the Adult branch is still around, and will continue to be around indefinitely. In fact, we have increased our marketing efforts for the Adult branch, and our adult traffic continues to grow month over month.
