Panda Update Changes Product Site Design?

Let's say I found out the the keyword "Bananas for Sale" was lucrative and I only had one competitor and I got the domain name bananasforsale.org and I am going to design my site so that especially visitors and also g00gle were going to regard it highly.....

Does the g00le Panada update take into consideration that when people type in bananas for sale they are NOT looking for rich content but they are looking for bananas for sale and that would include lots of pictures rather than content so that an effective purchase can be made?

What good is a rich content site if it does not show bananas for sale? But according to the panda update g00gle is going to rank pages and sites according to their rich content in words. The only problem with this is that g00le should rank a site according to what the visitor wants to see and not according to a strict interpretation of the panda update.

So, I am in a quandry.... in order to beat out my competitor who is number one for the keyword (but missing one letter): bananaforsale.com I am going to either do what he does and have some content but lots of pictures so people can see pictures and purchase the bananas and do it all on the same pages.

OR, I design a content rich site according to the Panda update with no pictures on the site and instead direct people to an Amazon/ebay store where they can purchase via pictures and descriptions on a separate site. The links to this store would be cloaked in such a way that they are not recognized as store links. So it appears that my site has only content.

But there we go again, would such a site be highly regarded since when people type in bananas for sale they are looking for product content and not word content?

I am caught in a quandry trying to decide to design a content rich site with links to a store or putting the content and pictures of what people want to buy right on the same site?

I need valuable feedback. Would a content rich site with no pictures directing to a store full of pictures and descriptions of the products there be the best for the long run in light of recent changes in Google and possible future changes?

Would a content rich site with no pictures directing to an amazon/ebay store full of pictures and descriptions of the products there be the best for the long run in light of recent changes in Google and possible future changes? Would this help me beat out my competitor who has content and links from pictures to ebay and Amazon right on the same pages?

    I think panda has made people go bananas.

    Nothing has changed. Really.

    Seriously. Your whole post is just nonsense about "panda."

    Just when you think the panda could not get any sillier...

    Panda update has really got a lot of people nuts.

    A lot of garbage has been flush.

    Lets fall back and re-strategize, rather than running from pillar to post.
