i see Pr rank is dropping on many adult sites now
 

my sites dropped 1 step to 5
and much bigger sites then mine also have 5 now

Also the google searches suck now days too!

Google must FIX!

I have a very small site, with almost no traffic that is PR5....

i wonder if they did this manually to clear up the porn getting out of its areas?

i registered a domain less than a month ago. Now it's pr5 :)

This is nothing that is restricted to adult websites - go to non-adult webmaster boards and see lots of desperate webmasters who have seen their sites disappear from Google, being replaced by loads of crap and spam sites. Google's so-called "Florida" update is the next big disaster after the one from May, search results are totally screwed up, relevancy has been killed. Lots of searches with adult related keywords now give you all the worst spam and popup hell sites in top positions. I have started using Altavista and Alltheweb again for my personal searches - with much better results.

Google's message is clear; use (and pay for) Adwords and make them rich! Yes, I know, sounds like a conspiracy theory, but do you seriously want to tell me that this whole bunch of intelligent people at Google don't realize that their index is seriously fucked up?

:ak47:

amazon.com
epinions.com
dealtime.com
kelkoo.com
bizrate.com

and few others huge retailers own google searches now. Google sold itself it seems...

Tons of useless finds in the first 2-3 pages. I get links leading to a page with 1 line "review" and shit like: compare prices... Google is owned by "compare price" sites.

---

Now we need a new, fast, but revolutionary search engine, just to spice up the competition.

Google became famous because it lacked shit - and was dialup users friendly with it's 15kb homepage.

If you all must know Google went back 6 months with their index.

Everyone calm down now, unless you spam, because then supposedly next update they have a better algo..

Cheers,
Matt

http://www.vidsgal.com/ is at 5.

I got spanked by Google last month. I do have some doorways for popups vs. clean tours, but that's about it. Definitely no spamming.

Gotta go through everything & make sure my robots.txt is set to disallow. Which I should've done in the first place....doh!

In some areas it seems spam's taken over, but in most of the adult research I've done alot LESS spam is getting good serps. The PR drop is probably because a good amount of the PR involved in adult trades was artificially inflated. When those sites drop totally, the PR of all the pages they link to drop some PR. The sites that remain probably keep their reciprocal links so there's some more PR leakage. By the time it gets to your sites it's dropped a signifigant enough amount of weight to make you go down a notch.

As far as SE spam goes it's all temporary to a degree. I do it and I always get alot of good serps. I know it won't last but by the time it's gone it'll have made way more than my initial investment.

My sites dropped a point each.The good news is that there are still more changes to googles ser[ps coming in the next few days

one of my new ones went from 5 to 1
all others dropped or climbed 1
