There are thousands of porn stars ... most we have never heard of and then there are the stars we have such as Eva Angelina, Tera Patrick, Bree Olson, Stormy Daniels and Briana Banks. But how do you know which of these stars is really the most popular? And what factor determines her popularity? Is a porn star the most popular if she has the most myspace friends or won the most industry awards? Or is she most popular if she's appeared in magazines more than the others?
It seems everyone has an opinion about who the most popular porn stars are. Barely a month goes by where some publication or another isn't putting out some arbitrary list of top ranked porn stars. Some will rank them based on movie sales or some based on reader input and yet others will put together lists based on no real rhyme or reason at all.
Fame Registry compiles a list of top rated porn stars and ranks them in order of popularity based on a variety of REAL data. As there is no central record keeping source for popularity data, most people simply project who they think is most popular based on random sales data from various sources which is often skewed or only partially correct data. Until now there has been no real attempt to accurately list the porn stars in order of popularity based on real data.
Fame Registry uses proprietary algorithms that take into account several measures of popularity for porn stars. The primary forms of measure include who people are looking for when they search for porn stars using major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, Dogpile and Metacrawler. In addition we factor in the popularity of a porn star's official website, specifically based on total traffic to the site itself and their number of followers and friends a porn star may have on popular social networking sites like Twitter and MySpace.

What's important to note is that all data used is publicly available and comes from no one specific source so that no one porn star is dependent on any one source to judge his or her popularity. In other words, we don't feel any one source of data is truly accurate or a true judge of the overall popularity of a porn star. Instead we use a variety of sources and compile the list each month based on the entire scope of the data. However we should note that because this method of tracking relies solely on Internet based information, those porn stars with one name only like "August" or "Peaches" are not able to be tracked and as such are not part of our databases.
Like all other top porn star lists, none of our rankings are based on the opinion of one "expert" or a selected group of "experts". Instead we use real statistical data.
