    How do warning pages affect SEO

    Jus wondering how warning pages affect SEO. A particular site is indexed on google via the keywords & text found on the page. Now, if I take this site & change this to have index.htm go to a warning where the user has to click enter to main.htm, I theoretically lose the text rich keywords because they are now on main.htm instead of index.htm, the engine will follow, however, does the engine place primary focus on the contents of index.htm? If index.htm is just a standard text warning page, will I lose ranking due to lack of targeted keywords on index.htm?

      yes, I got that there, but just not certain on the algorythms, if the engines place primary importance on index.htm to determine the subject matter of a site based on keywords contained within index.htm.. also, if all other pages beyond index are "no index, follow", would I still be ranked & spidered correctly, based on keywords contained on all pages past index.htm?

          yes, but that won't provide the same protections that a warning would.

                        i would use javascript to do a fullscreen div with a warning page (assuming you really, really have to have one) or similar trick.. if you have current rankings on that page, and you throw a warning page on that url and move the old page to a new url.. it's going to hurt

                            That was my initial thinking, however, I decided that I am in this for the long haul. In order to maintain an economically viable & stable business, I need to conduct business in a professional, responsible & ethical manner. With current political trends coming down hard on internet pornography, it makes sense that we as adult webmasters need to be a self regulating body. We all know that it is illegal to provide adult material to a minor, so it makes sense that it is our ethical duty as professional businessmen & businesswomen to make sure that we make every effort posible to make sure that the pornographic material available on our own sites is not available to children. By providing a warning page, this also protects those that do not wish to be offended by material that they may find offensive, as well as children. Often, these people arrive by accident & by providing a warning to them, we prevent any risks associated with accessibility to the site in question.

                              Having a relevant title and page text helps too.

                                I agree with you about the kids, but the people you're talking about here go out of their way to get offended. Still, it might help protect you from prosecution.

                                The ideal thing is to optimize your warning page for the search engines as well.
                                Sleep well, and dream of large women.

                                    yeah its definately a catch 22 situation, have a warning page to warn off minors and possibly loose SEO, or have the warning on a main page
