Do search engines care if your adult blog has pictures?
 

If you don't use pictures or movies on an adult blog will the search engines penalize you with bad rankings?

um... no

nope, but you can improve the.. err "seo-score" of your blog by adding images..

1) name your pictures like this: "your-key-phrase.jpg" (use hyphens)
2) do the same in your pic's alt-text.

e.g. if you target "fat chicks", you might want to name the first pic:

"<img src="fat-chicks.jpg" alt="fat chicks picture one">"

..thank me later.

:2 cents: :thumbsup

you will get some extra traffic from the image searches...so not, it won't be a penalty, but your are missing out on some traffic by not using them

yup missing out on shitty, bandwidth sucking google image traffic

Well, the pictures/videos can also help in selling the surfer as you ofc know. As far as the BW bill on google img traffic I'll be happy to pay you double the bill for the traffic ;)

lol
adding imgs is not only about getting traffic from image search
lol.
