1) That only happens if Google alters their algorithm to favor .xxx domains. I don't see that happening.

2) Google isn't the only traffic source on the planet, and I'd suspect that it's not even the #1 source for a substantial percentage of adult sites.

1. I don't see it happening either. But stranger things have, and continue to happen.
2. Possibly not, but Google is still shepherd, and the masses are its sheep. Its influence can't be denied.

I'm in keeping with the thoughts that have been expressed here, and certainly I'll give it a year before we see what the ramification are. It would be naive to think that it is something that will blow over all of us, albeit due to search engines, trademarks, porn in general or all of the above.
