Dear Kelli,

Since you know so much about porn stars, who would you say is the most famous porn star of them all? Is this something that changes often and what makes her the most famous? Is it based on how many movies she sales or how big her website is? I am a huge fan of several porn stars and I would love to know what an industry insider thinks about them.

I just so happen to know the answer to your question because besides this website, I also happen to run one in which I compile popularity data about porn stars. I actually started the website because like yourself, many fans over the years have asked me this very questions. They love their favorite stars and they tend to want to know just how famous they are. This website I speak of is called the Fame Registry.  Basically each month I compile a bunch of data from various websites to make up a list of who’s hot and who’s not.

It’s a very complicated process so let me try and explain.  Previously there was no real scientific method of computing fame for porn stars.  Some would try and base it on # of awards won or who was in the best selling movies of the year or whose website has the most members and some people just pulled answers out of their ass.  I was actually reading a magazine who each year compiled a list of their top 100 and it was then I realized that these so called legitimate news sources really were just making it up because they had no real way to know.

So that is when I got to work.  I started out with about 40 names of porn stars.  I literally just pulled them from box covers of recent movies released.  From there I wrote down their official website and Myspace pages.  I first decided to see out of all those pornstars, whose website had the most traffic so I went over to Alexa and ran those numbers.  Next I went through this huge list of awards dating back to the 1980′s and gathered the name of every award that these porn stars have won.  I decided I would track three different types of awards which were AVN awards, F.A.M.E. and XRCO.    This is about the time I complied the first report and based on just that data it gave me a pretty good idea of who was hotter than who but I didn’t want to stop there.  Next I used a source of information that told me how many times each month people used search engines to search for a porn star’s name.  I mean what better way to determine how popular a porn star was than to see how many times each month fans would search for them on the Internet.  Next I wrote down each time each of those stars appeared in Penthouse.  Being chosen to be in a major publication like Penthouse over the other girls surely was a good indicator of fame so then later I expanded it to also include the magazines Hustler and Genesis.

Next I went over to my favorite search engine, Google and Google’d every one of their names.  I wrote down the number of websites that their name appeared in.  This number is known as the Google Keyword Frequency.  Then I decided to see what the cyberspace value of their name would be if their name was a dot com since there was a huge industry that built up over night in the buying and selling of domain names.  So I valued each porn star’s name as in FirstNameLastName.com.   I also through in a report for the Oveture rating for each porn star name.  OVT ratings help value the popularity of keywords that make up a domain names so I figured by that same logic, it could help value the popularity of a porn star’s name.  The final step was MySpace.  I visited each of their MySpace pages and found out how many friends each of them had.   I complied all of this data to make up a huge list of who is more famous than the next. Eventually I expanded the list to include about 100 more porn stars and will continue to add names over time as more and more new girls enter the industry.

Since this list used a variety of sources of data, we weren’t dependent on any one value to determine popularity.  It wasn’t just who had the most awards or who was on the cover of the most magazines but a combination of all of those factors and I think that is the best way to determine who the most famous porn star is. As of December 1, 2008 that is …..

Lanny Barby has one of those unique looks where she can easily fit into any kind of roll from chamber maid to cheerleader to rough and tumble biker babe.   In this movie Lanny Barby is of course playing the roll of a biker babe in a very unique, artistically dark porno called King Cobra.  Critics say that while watching this movie you would be hard pressed to know it was a Vivid feature, who typically favors the softer, more romantic side of porn.  This movie is hardcore through and through.  Below you’ll find the movie trailer for it and you can judge for yourself.

King Cobra – It’s a full throttle joyride through the American wasteland…where the bikers are bad and the biker bitches are badder! King Cobra barrels along at breakneck speed with ultra sexy Lanny Barby as the leader of the girl gang who corrupts the not so innocent blonde cream puff (played by the outrageous Page Morgan). This movie will excite you with extra large doses of rough sex, spitting, slapping, swearing, mud, sand, booze, fire breathing, and an authentic biker orgy. King Cobra is about the nomads of the outer limits, and dirty girls on clean machines who are hungry for the taste of sex … and burning rubber! Starring Lanny Barby, Page Morgan, Sasha Grey, Jade Starr, Roxy Deville, Chapel Waste, Lela Star, Shannon Kelly, Christian, Marty Romano, Brian Surewood, Sledgehammer. Directed by JacktheZipper.
