My personal feeling is that Google has specifically allowed the adult area to go to shit. Rather than try to police it, they just turn it into a huge mudfight, with the resulting bullshit SERPs. I never use google to search for anything adult, I would have more luck calling a Bill O'Reilly.
While Matt Cutts is a nice guy with a pleasant attitude (typical of the idly rich who still work for fun) There seems to be little interest in google-land to take the actions required to get rid of the biggest abuses of their system. I take specific exception to the number of sites running adsense that end up near the top of SERPs ever with little or no actual content. I am running a small test to see what can be done with this sort of thing.
I also raised the issue over there of third level domains apparently inhereting some PR from the root domain, which most often comes out in blog hosts and spammers.
Google has show little or no interest in fixing these obvious pollution sources.
