Recently, Matt Cutts from Google was asked if customers who have a website and buy Google AdWords get special treatment and ranker higher in organic results.

Google introduced a tool allows you to "disavow links" that are considered unnatural and may be hurting the rankings of a website.

The tool is for POWER or ADVANCED users and should not be used If you haven’t gotten a notification from Google.
