		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a big fan of Wikipedia and also the chairman of the “I hate Wikipedia club”. My split feelings towards Wikipedia depend on the keyword I&#8217;m targeting.

		<description><![CDATA[Why do some companies even hire SEO &#38; SEM professionals? I try to never report too much to clients. Not because I&#8217;m hiding information – but because the more information you give them the more confused they get. And when clients get confused they become more involved.
