While your problem might be very specific, pornographic content is 
only one subset of potential offense one might wish to know about in 
advance of following a link. Websites offering gambling, alcohol or 
tobacco can only sell to people of a certain age, so it would 
probably be useful to know if a link is heading to such a site before 
following it. Other websites have material that is gruesome, 
violent, or contains offensive language. All of these could probably 
be handled with the same structure. Rating systems for video games, 
movies, TV, music, etc. would probably be useful to consider.
Peace,
