1) What is your opinion about AddThis sharing widget (on other plugin) under every post on a Wordpress blog?

Some of them may be getting / get quite a lot of shares, up to 30 or more. Would you say it is a good thing to use it, to such extent, does it help. I've seen a total of around 1,500 shares on a network of 250 sites (right after installing it), and the traffic from this was close to zero. A lot of shares, but no traffic.
In general, is it a good strategy, to have it under every single post? And this could be, on a network of 250 blogs, or more.

Google is becoming more and more aware that social signals are important for ranking. I personally think they're ugly and wouldn't have them on my websites because I don't think many people share porn and they cause more issues than it's worth. That said, implementation is unlikely to hurt you, and if you do get some social signals, Google will look favorably at your site.

2) What would be your advice for people running websites, based on CyberSeo, or Wp Robot for Wordpress sites (syndicating rss feeds, spinning content, with built in synonimizer, or programs like Spin Rewriter, or Word Ai). Would you say, that it is possible, to have such sites, and dont get detected by Google, and other search engine sites. As far as I know, checking for spinned text is part of Google's algorithm, but I am not sure. It is obviously black hat, but is it possible to get away, as of right now / late 2014? What would be the best way to go with this (maybe use pictures only <would it work with the search engine sites?>, mix it up with hand written posts, or maybe some other things)?

Spinned text checking, I imagine, would be quite literally one of the hardest things to do. My philosophy with spinning written text is that I ONLY do it on my own sites, and that's because I hand-craft the spinners so that every sentence makes logical sense. The big issue with automated sentences is that some language just isn't fitting in a number of scenarios. For instance, 'number' in that list sentence could be changed into:
The big issue with automated sentences is that some language just isn't fitting in a figure of scenarios.
However, if I wrote my own spinner, I could have {in a number of|in a lot of|in most|through different} and they would all make sense in the context of the sentence.
I avoid automated spinners because most people who read the text would become very suspecious and likely leave the site as quickly as possible. Also, on the off-chance that someone from Google looks at my site should it start doing really well, I could run into some really nasty manual actions across a few different websites.

3) This is related to one of the previous questions, that I've asked, a network of 250 pornstar blogs. Lets say the sites are 2 years old, all of them have around 30 posts, categories are based on keyword research (ie: blowjob - "sara jay blowjob", anal - "sara jay anal", and so on), and they are not getting too much traffic overall. I would say, it would be around 30 uv per day, per sites. The good thing about it is good social media set up - nice social media profiles (Facebook, VK, Pinterest), and following and sharing on all the sites.
What would be the things that could be done, in order to get the websites more popular, and generating more visitors over time. According to your previous advice, I would
a) schedule posts, add one per month, or one every two weeks, and just keep it at this rate, from now on
b) get some paid links to the sites, from related sites
c) look at what ranks in Google for particular keywords "sara jay blowjob", "sara jay anal" (this would be a lot of keywords, overall, with different seo competion, and search volume), extract 10-50 top urls, and analyze it with Excel / Majestic seo - try to get links.
What other steps could be taken here, in order to make the websites "work". 30 uv per day, after two years, is obviously not very good. Is it all about getting a lot of good links / off site seo, at this point?
Just like I was saying before, another network of pornstar blog sites (My Pornstar Blogs - Daily Updated Pornstars Since 2008!) is very profitable, and these websites (Pornstar Blog World) "suck". Why?
What would you do, if these people were your client, and wanted to significantly improve performance of the sites?

As my suggestion was last time, combining your efforts into one large site is likely the way to go. Then you can think about linking up the best sites to the main hub of content that you have for each girl. I'd be careful doing this, but I see no reason why you can't pick out the top 20 and give a direct mention to the main site that you've built.
If you don't want to do that, buying links is probably going to be the best way to go about getting good juice. Trading might also be an idea; Linkspun isn't what it used to be, but I'm sure a few good eggs still exist and know how to link you up well. Once a month posts are also a good idea. Keep it somewhat fresh, but don't burn too much time - you've got a large network.

4) Google’s Ranking Factors and Rank Correlations 2014
This is a link, that you've added in one of the previous posts. Would this mean, that Google +1 is the most important ranking factor, as of now? I've heard that it does not even count, some time ago, but it might have been something else.
Thanks.

For content that Google considers worth of +1s, this ranking signal is pretty damn important. Especially from quality sources, too. Not one-day old accounts or stuff like that, but people who use Google+ on a regular basis and share content a lot are going to be considered very worthy of ranking authority.
I don't think Google +1s are worth anything in porn, to be honest. It's so unlikely that it's going to be shared in a legitimate fashion. Other social signals can be useful, though. Twitter seems quite adult-friendly.
