Latest Google Update

How have you experienced this latest update?

For years my traffic was on the lower end from Google and no matter what I did, it never seemed to budge. I know my bounce rate was fine and I wasn't into any Blackhat stuff (except building and buying a few quality links here and there).

Then March 2018, Google had another update and my traffic tripled. I thought it was just me but after reading a couple threads here in GFY it seemed that Google finally accepted adult sites again as legit and was sending more traffic in general to adult sites.

Then March 2019, Google's update had me losing 1/3 of my traffic which wasn't too bad but I was scratching my head trying to figure out what I had done.

Now with this latest early June update all my traffic is back without me having made any changes.

The point I'm trying to make is that, on my end at least, solid engagement by the surfers in your site's content + some solid backlinks = the best you can do.

After that you just hope Google favors you. In years passed when Google didn't like adult I could have had the best onsite SEO etc. and it wouldn't have made a difference.

What's your take on all this?
