SEO for Adult & Dating Services

Dating platforms, 18+ content services, adult stores, escort services (in legal jurisdictions). A niche with a total advertising ban — organic only. Adult SEO is a different game. Google doesn't ban legal adult sites but demands strict compliance: proper markup, age verification, kids traffic separation. All white-hat methods work; grey-hat doesn't.
