Strip Club List Still In Google Doghouse
Since roughly September of 2007, stripclublist.com has been pretty much nowhere to be found in Google’s search results for most key search phrases. Google is the dominant search engine on the internet today with about 60% of the internet search market share at last report—and growing.
Strip Club List no longer ranks for most search phrases for which it once dominated. In fact, as of this writing, stripclublist.com doesn’t even rank in the top 500 Google search results for its own name according to our findings!
What does this mean? Since Google steers the vast majority of search engine traffic, it means that Strip Club List with all likelihood is experiencing a huge drop in traffic, at least search engine traffic. If we can’t find them in Google, others probably can’t. This also means that any gentlemen’s clubs that are paying money to advertise on the site or for memberships in the “Strip Club Network” may not be getting their money’s worth.
Why Strip Club List Sucks
There are many reasons why Strip Club List sucks. Of course, this is just our opinion. Mainly, we feel that Strip Club List sucks because it is geared toward club owners and not club patrons like we are here at Strip Club Central. Comments to club message boards can be removed if money is paid. Clubs that join the “network” also have the ability to moderate their boards and possibly their reviews so any negative comments or reviews could be deleted.
So, what’s the point of making a review or comment if it can be deleted? There is no point! In fact, the whole exercise of using Strip Club List as a source of information is defeated by their very revenue model. You are only seeing what many clubs aren’t paying money to have removed. (A comment of mine was deleted once. I had a negative experience at a club and posted a comment about it and a short while later it vanished.)
Putting up a message board open to public comment and then charging clubs to remove comments reeks of extortion to us. Again, this is our opinion. Unfortunately, there are some clubs out there that have been foolish enough to pay money to join that silly “Strip Club Network”. Perhaps it is time they re-evaluate their decision and stop wasting their money.
All the above is the opinion of Strip Club Central and reflects our results using Google. Your results may vary. We welcome you to search Google for yourself to see if you can find stripclublist.com anywhere in the results. We haven’t been able to for nearly four months now. And we are not complaining.
Here’s something else interesting that we found. Someone claiming to be the webmaster of TUSCL (tuscl.com) writes that Strip Club List got its start by swiping his strip club data.

“The trouble with using just a simple integer as an ID is it makes it easier for other sites to swipe my data, which has happened before. That is how stripclublist.com got its start.”
That’s not very nice.
Best wishes for the new year,
Strip Club Central
