Adult-content filter on Google : how does it work?

Google ignores all my the adult content of my site.

Hello,

I own a Webdirectory that contains 400 sites through 146 categories.

I was disappointed because my Webdirectory only received 150 unique visitors per day. So to boost trafic, I have decided to add an adult section to it with very explicit keywords. Indeed, I know that s*x keywords are very popular on search engines and even if a site is on the 3rd page of results it receives many visitors (my friend owns a PR6 Generalist Webdirectory with 10000uv/day and his Top 10 keywords are all s*x-related).

But the problem is that Google - and MSN - ignore all the adult categories of my Webdirectory! All other categories are crawled and indexed BUT not the adult ones.

The only thing that differs between a normal page and an adult one is the following warning box :
--
var msg="Warning adult page contents, to view this page you should .......";
if (!confirm(msg)) { window.location.href='http://...'; };
--

I don't understand because my friend who has the PR6 site has the same exact warning but his adult pages are crawled! How come?

Maybe because Google ignores adult content coming from sites that have a low PR in order to avoid massive spam (my Webdirecty is PR3)? Or maybe all news pages that provide adult contents are sandboxed for several weeks before showing in the SERPS?

Any clue would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all, thanks for the replies :P

I just want to say that the adult content is showing at last on Google. This info can be useful to some webmasters : Google sandboxes news adult pages.

Sorry, I didn't see this thread first time around.

How long did the adult stuff stay sandboxed for, compared to the 'regular' stuff?

________________________________________________

Sandboxed for over a month. Every other "regular" categories were indexed with no problems on Google, even the newer ones. But none of the Adult stuff ... they were not showing in the SERPS even filtered out.

One month later, they now show with no problem :-) and they are receiving their first visitors even on the 3rd page of Google :P
