No.X-default should only be used when IP location or geographic targeting is used.

Scenario 3Google says don’t remove low value content to get out of Panda. Is this right? Not exactly.G prefers high value content. Removing low value only will not be enough to reverse trust loss.

Scenario 4Web design agency says all content should be 3 levels from the home page. Is this true?
No.This is the old way of thinking where search engines and visitors enter through home page.

Scenario 5When deciding what content to feature on a landing page, let user needs guide you.
Yes.Don’t allow internal politics to trump user needs. Change featured content often, but theme it.
