		<content type="html"><![CDATA[A beautiful distillation of SEO reality, nicely done. The fact is that the basics of SEO can be learned in an hour or two, those basics make up the majority of what gets high rankings that last. Don't get caught up in all the hype, and remember a good copywriter under the guidance of someone who has a solid understanding of SEO will do more for your business in the long run than any "hot topic" SEO gimmicks. I'm not a copy writer by the way, just been around long enough to see their value. Your advice will get people rankings that have staying power, we've followed a similar path and have kept very high rankings on competitive phrases for over 3 years... but we also plan (and write) as if they didn't rank well.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[I fully agree with this position. I'd like to know if there are particular features a blogger should keep in mind while maintaining a site (hosted by the blog provider). I have an information blog on Blogger and it seems to me Google favors Wordpress blogs although it owns Blogger. What can I do, in addition to providing solid content with appropriate tags, that will move my blog up the search engines' listings?]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[I realize this post was about 7 months ago and things are moving pretty fast, but it still truly seems to be the case. Search on mobile phones can be quite a frustrating experience, the screen is simply too small for "educated guesses" with a list of results. <br> <br>I recently read a quote "all search begins and ends with people, not algorithms" - I'm curious what the other readers think of this statement and how social search is viewed, particularly in the mobile arena. <br> <br>We're all used to "Googling" something. While we may end up on Yelp, we start our search for a restaurant on Google. And while we may end up finding out if Daryl Strawberry batted left or right handed on Wikipedia, again, most of us start in one place. The reason is that there's always potential for a better, faster and more relevant result, so your search starts with an engine.<br> <br>I truly believe the human element is currently the best way to ensure a more relevant and satisfying experience in mobile search. Technology will improve, but until it does, people provide the best solution for a "one stop" search shop. Thoughts?]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Great article. This is a huge reason why personalized search will be a ways off. Though for this issue, I wonder how big it is. How often do you and your son overlap in queries and have different results? There are bound to be instances like the one you mentioned, but then there are bound to be many where you're both seeking things like movie times and weather info and go to the same couple of sites and it doesn't matter at all. Then there are the other times when you're searching for totally different things - work sites and tax software for you, music downloads and homework help for your son. All of this then calls into question how much personalization matters in the first place; the better Google's regular results get (without personalization), the less a need there should be for personalization in the first place.]]></content>
