This is no different than the government going after the tobacco industry when it marketed to kids with things like cartoonish "Joe Camel." The intent is not to keep kids from viewing porn. The intent is to keep kids from coming in contact with sexual predators.

For instance, if a child is trying to go to KidSites.com and they type "KidSite.com" the similarly named site better not be a porn site. After all, why in the world would an "adult" entertainment site call it that, other than to attract children?

If you read the article that was linked in the original post, you would have read that having the word "sex" and such in the URL would not be covered by this law. This law is more a truth in labeling law. It is not a free speech issue.

It would have absolutely no effect on legitimate sites and it would also have no effect on porn sites that did not try to lure children.

For those of you that don't think it can or will be enforced, I don't think you understand the worldwide hatred for pedophiles. There have been numerous arrests around the globe and cooperation between law enforcement of many nations as many of the perpetrators are outside the US.
