Yes, i never said it was the only one hit by Google. Google never hit just one site, as you probably know.
What we are discussing here is the reason why theporndude.com had a drop in traffic from 4 Million to 300k visits.

His whole strategy is based on achieving new artificial DOFOLLOW backlinks, and to hide them to Google. That means he doesn't respect Google guidelines for two reasons:
- he gets too many artificial backlinks;
- he shows to Google a version of his site, and a different one to the users (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaking).

Gary Illyes from Google:

"Then Gary said he will say one thing, that the sites impacted by this update should have been because what they are doing are specifically against Google's webmaster guidelines. " (seroundtable.com/google-confirm-fred-algorithm-update-23603.html)
