It is indeed true that it almost doesn't matter what i am looking for, the following sites have ~13-15 of the top 20 positions: youporn, redtube, xhamster, xvideos, pornhub, youjizz, keezmovies, etc...
Buying backlinks has its risks, but its the same with trading. Linkspun is good, but its a royal pain in the ass to check every single site you (plan to) trade with..
Getting back links to your sub pages [aka deep linking] is a very good method, I always recommend this solution over pushing the main page to its limits.
What I have to admit is that the big tubes are not just buying up lots of links, but they ALL do it in a smart way.. Deep linking at its best.. And they don't really negotiate on the price
I think people go the wrong path when they are buying up hundreds or thousands of link in a short time. Google is not stupid and if a site is getting a few dozen links per month via trades or just from real non-paid backlinks for a long time, than hundreds for some week than back to slow build: it has risks to say at least.
Lots of webmasters build blogs on the embeds of the big tubes. This way people are giving very good quality back links for 'free hosting' .. And I think this plus buying up links in massive quantities led to these Google SERPs.
From the aspect of a surfer I don't think this is plain wrong: tubes offer good content generally ad people love this new way of content delivery. The problem is not that youporn.com has good positions but that they provide illegal content and nowadays sponsors Do Let them use their content for a banner/text link back, but on the same video page 70-80% of the ads have nothing to do with the source content..
