      Why are my search results missing  the google preview magnifying glass icon next to them?

      My site is an adult toys e-commerce/portfolio site. but doesn't have any sexual explicit content

      especially on the homepage.

      I used to have Goole preview working  a few month ago but have changed the skin a couple of month ago and Preview is not avalable for my site since then.

      Google's preview testing tool shows a perfect image for my site.

      url: http://www.funstuff.co.il

      Thanks,

      Asaf

        The issue is your Search Safe settings.

        If you go into your Google Search Settings the default is "use moderate filtering". If you change the setting to "do not filter my results" then the view cache icon (the magnifying glass) will appear.

        I understand you choose not to show any explicit images but Google's crawler can't see images. They have identified your site as being adult in nature and therefore the search safe settings apply.

          Thanks,

          That was it.

          any idea why Google identifies my site as adult, and not any other sites in my category?

          maybe image names or such?

            I would recommend reviewing any content including your images for their names, alt tags, and anything which may indicate your content is adult oriented. If some of your competitors are succeeding in an area where you are not, I would suggest taking a closer look at their site and noting any differences.

            A bit of conversation around this topic:
