Is there a way that I can some how pull a report of the IP addresses that arrived on my website searching on google for things like "naked children" or "naked 10 year old girl". I obviously don't have those things at my site and I'm horrified that someone is searching the web for this. I want to do the right thing.
Thanks!

Your server logs; and probably awstats readout or webalizer readout through your cpanel. If you can't figure it out, you can always contact whatever your local law enforcement agency is and offer them the raw logs - they probably have a geek on board who can grab it. That wouldn't be my personal preferred mode, because that might open you up to hate and discontent from others whose IPs are in there too who had NOTHING to do with the pedophiles, but it is a last resort.
strictly speaking, a search for such things doesnt qualify you as a pedophile. (prima facie).
Emotionally, I understand the inclination to be an internet vigilante, however weak the "evidence" is.
I'm sorry but why else would you be searching for "naked 10 year old girls" on google? Please give me one good comforting valid excuse.
I cant answer that, completely, and if I were to attempt to, I would need more time -- Im afraid im on my way to work.
What I can say is that the simple search is NOT against the law (yet), atleast not in the United States I live in. Some politicians would like otherwise though.
I should add also, that you only open yourself up to more hits from search engines by using those "keywords" in subsequent posts. Perhaps thats what you want though.
Hmmm... no. I wonder if there's a way to block Google from coming to my site on certain search strings. That way I just wouldn't have to know about the sickos in the world and I could go back to my safe little world where I just worry about women't rights and the war in afghanistan and George Bush and not worry about child predetors at all.
I really shouldn't type without spell check before I've had my coffee.
