I think what has happened here is that Google has gotten tired of SEOs over doing it again, and having highly optimized pages come up at the top of all the best searches. There is nothing natural (Google's apparent goal) in SERPs that have nothing but the highest dollar companies because they could afford better SEOs. There is also no benefit to have the top sites all redirecting traffic to brokers (and I saw this on some non-adult terms, a google listing leading to another SE page results for a pay per click company).
So google picked 500-5000 keywords and phrases, and basically TOSSED the top 100 or so listing out the door.
Yes, it sucks. If you have prided yourself on building the types of pages that end up in the top 10 of searches by using good but heavy SEO techniques, you are probably pissed off this week because your traffic dropped.
What Google doesn't seem to understand is that part of the reason google is so popular and so "on the top of the market" is because it is the target we all have been after for years. When they start taking petty vengance on good SEO, they will find themselves less in demand from our side... and we will start to recommend other things to surfers too.
