The first issue I had to tackle was Mahalo’s lack of support for “adult themed” searches (read Jason’s <A href="http://valleywag.com/tech/feuds/jason-calacanis-v-seth-godin-porn-is-evil-275762.php">comments</A> on the topic).  Searches for very common and broad keywords like “sex” and “ass” turned up absolutely nothing which means the popular <A href="#" class="kLink"  id="KonaLink1"><FONT color="#8ab459"><SPAN class="kLink">keyword </SPAN><SPAN class="kLink">list</SPAN></FONT></A> is cut almost in half.  This obviously is a very popular market that Mahalo is skirting around and <EM>I can see the reasoning behind it</EM>, although they are leaving out a huge opportunity in doing so.  A more savvy strategy would be to <EM>embrace the adult market</EM> and provide the appropriate safe guards (something Google is unable or unwilling to do).</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.josiahcole.com/2007/07/26/mahalo-popular-keyword-analysis-report-card-time/"><P>1.  Term:  <STRONG>three days grace</STRONG>  Result:  <STRONG>Nothing</STRONG>
The grade would be lower but it seems this is a newish band and on the “surge” list for a reason.
