Why are my pages deemed 'similiar'?

    When I search site:myurl.com on Google a lot of my results fall under the 'similiar pages' results and thus aren't listed, now it isn't a big deal but I wondered why when every title, meta keyword and meta description tag is different on every page?

    Its an adult site so I can't

    Well its an adult forum, but as I said everything is different, nothing about the topics are the same.

    Why would that help?

    The description tag is used by SE's to show text on the placement (sometimes) - Every desciption tag is different so not sure why that would help? Unles you know something I don't? ;p

    Well it is common for dynamically generated pages to contain the same meta tag description - one fact that leads a page to be put in the "supplementary" results for a website. I discovered this the other day and its common when you have a simple header/footer include system. You should also make sure any page titles are different and do not contain similiar keywords.

    Well it is a forum, and no meta tag or description tag or title is the same as any other page, as I said.

    The meta tag description and keyword is automatically the same as the title of the topic, so every page is different.
