		<description><![CDATA[One of the platforms behind search engine optimization is content. &#8220;Publish useful keyword content regularly&#8221; has been the mantra for over a decade now, however, one wonders if that is all about to change and that content on websites could become defunct.

		<description><![CDATA[There are some marketers that are quite sensitive when it comes to any foray into social media by Google.
