Not sure if anyone noticed, but Google (recently?) reduced more or less all porn sites by 1 PR point. Sites that used to be PR5 (inc gaydemon.com) are now PR4, sites that was PR4 are now mostly PR3.
Seems like they done a one of reduction for more or less any adult related sites. At least from the ones I visited and tested on (tested mainly long established sites).

Hmmm ... Gay Porn Pig is still a PR4, it didn't go down.

strange.. well it seems most of the porn sites that used to be PR5 are now PR4, at least the ones i checked. Traffic is the same, rankings on other sites are the same..

Yes.. definitly been an update that started on the 1st April. One of my new site gone from PR1 to PR3.
Not sure why so many old established PR5 sites lost and gone down to PR4. Very few gay adult sites with a PR5 now.

But either way, who cares about PR? It's helpful to find trades but has nothing to do with SERP rankings anymore...

We noticed the same Bjorn... we have a couple PR5 sites and they are down to 4 now, including JUB. Thankfully, I don't see any significant fluctuation in traffic from Google.

Yeah, no change at all in traffic. However from what I remember PR updates reflect changes a couple a months ago. Even so, no change in traffic. But from the look of it they are penalizing most porn sites.
