    This query:

    http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.lol-vids.com

    Returns mostly Russian results and I'm not sure why. The site lol-vids.com is english and has only english words, but I guess Russian/Chinese videos are being included in the site for some reason.

    Anyway, can someone explain why only 9 out of 45 pages indexed are English!? Why would Google choose to index pages with a foreign language when most of the site's content is english!?

    The pages may be from the supplemental results.

    Google is using more supplemental results for foreign languages and less competitive keywords to give better search results. I think a read something before the holidays about it on Matt Cutts blog.

    Google is interested in finding and indexing content, sometimes they delete the unimportant pages after a while.

    Interesting... ok. I like the supplemental results explanation better though, lol. The site is pretty new, which explains why this is happening.
