Hello there,

I am working on a web site which google is not indexing properly at all.
The site might have some adult content and I am assuming that could be the problem. Apparently even google ads aren't related to anything in my pages.

My site is basically the same as some similar web sites out there. They do get high pr, and well indexed but I don't. Does anyone know the reason why?

When I search my site on google it shows how it indexed a form in the site but no content in it at all:

search:
indexed content:
19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 45+. Order By ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

Quick diagnosis and practical next steps.

The most likely cause of the odd snippet (the series of numbers) is that the only clearly crawlable, visible text on the pages is inside form controls (for example select/option lists). Search engines index visible text regardless of tag, so dropdown options can end up as the most prominent snippet. That explains why Google shows form content and why AdSense might be serving unrelated ads: crawlers see little contextual page text to match against. and are right to point at internal linking and sitemaps, but the immediate fix is structural.

A short technical checklist (fast wins):

  • Confirm the server returns 200 for content pages and not 3xx/4xx: curl -I https://example.com/page
  • Check robots.txt, meta robots (noindex) and any X-Robots-Tag headers.
  • Ensure main content is not only injected by JavaScript or behind POST/forms or login; content should be present in the HTML for crawlers.
  • Verify canonical tags aren’t pointing away from the pages and that pages aren’t thin/duplicate copies.

Example minimal robots entry:

User-agent: *
Allow: /
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml

Implementation priorities: move primary text out of form elements into semantic HTML (h1, p, article), add persistent HTML navigation and contextual anchor text from the homepage to deep pages, publish an XML sitemap and an HTML sitemap, and use Google Search Console’s URL Inspection to see exactly what Googlebot sees and to request reindexing. ’s suggestion to compare other engines and validate markup is useful for cross-checking.

A note on ads and adult content: ad networks (including AdSense) use content classification and advertiser demand; if pages are sparse or ambiguous they may show unrelated ads or fewer ads. Reviewing ad-network policy docs and improving unique, crawlable content plus natural backlinks (as and imply) is the most durable solution.

Check your internal linking structure.

I noticed that in the adult industry alot of the top performing web sites are doing a great deal of linking to internal pages or from support web sites. Their internal linking strategies encourage harnessing self-importance rather than externally seeking authenticity.

You know what? I'll do just that :)
I wonder though why would google index my forms when there is a bunch of content around it. hm

Thanks

p.s. I like this editor.

Focus on internal linking and go for simple sitemap.It will help.

Hard to diagnose without seeing the site. It's odd that Google is not indexing textual content. What about other engines? Is the page/site WC3 compliant?

Quick Tip:

Add one-way links, but only related links :)

This is just an update.

Well the problem seems to be exactly what I expected. Google is indexing pages properly but google ads are not showing, even if slightly-adult keywords appear on the page. It's too bad that google doesn't have a special adult google ads category (for non-profit sites like mine)

I have had the same problem for a number of smaller sites - best method I have found is to submit once - develop links and site back and wait for the traffic.

Maybe that's your problem right there. Why would Google need more of the same?
