I've been reading some things about the OOP (Over Optimization Penelty)...Google usuually is pretty good about penalizing people or banning for things that should be wrong i.e.: link farms, expired domains, and cross linking. If theye are going to penalize you for building a good spider friendly site - that is just retarded and I even think they know that. What are you supposed to do, just build a half ass site and expect the competetion to link it? Is that how you get to the top? I hope not.

I suspect the truth is somewhere between:

1. They have profit hungry IPOs that want to sling more adwords.

and

2. They went a little too far with their spam filtering, and in fact left all of the REAL SPAMMERS right up there

Also, don't feel single out - apperently this isn't just limited to adult stuff, though the adult busiiness my be bearing the brunt of it.
