Question 1: New Google Panda Update

How is this new Google Panda

update different and how does

it affect SEO?

www.instantetraining.com 52

Question 2: Paid Links

A big US retailer, JC Penney, recently got

exposed for buying links and getting top SEO

rankings. Still, they are not banned and are still

ranking on top on many terms. If Google cannot

stop the big guy then is it okay for the smaller

companies to indulge in paid link buying?
