			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p0"></a>When I was doing web development work, we oft liked to say &#8220;Content is king&#8221; it is vital for search engine optimization. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://ben.hamilton.id.au/general/comprehension-is-king#p0">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p1"></a>
My point of view on this has changed today: <strong>Content is not and never has been king</strong>. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://ben.hamilton.id.au/general/comprehension-is-king#p1">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p2"></a>
My new point of view is this: <strong>Comprehension is king</strong>. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://ben.hamilton.id.au/general/comprehension-is-king#p2">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p3"></a>
This is because you can have all the content you want, if the reader of your content, your client, does not comprehend it, then what was the point? <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://ben.hamilton.id.au/general/comprehension-is-king#p3">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p4"></a>
Content must be comprehended by your intended readers. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://ben.hamilton.id.au/general/comprehension-is-king#p4">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p5"></a>
Is content any less important. No, simply that comprehension is MORE important and the structure of that content aids or hinders comprehension. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://ben.hamilton.id.au/general/comprehension-is-king#p5">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p6"></a>
It also made me realise that most of what I post here has been primarily for one of two reasons: <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://ben.hamilton.id.au/general/comprehension-is-king#p6">#</a><p class="winerlinks-enabled"><a name="p7"></a>
<ol>
<li>My comprehension &#8211; so I don&#8217;t forget what it is or where it is</li>
<li>For one of my clients comprehension &#8211; so they can have a reference point to an issue</li>
</ol>
At lunch talking with an associate it was one of those little &#8216;light bulb&#8217; moments for me &#8211; that Comprehension is king and that this is why I post on my blog. <a ref="permalink" title="Permalink to this paragraph" class="winerlink" href="http://ben.hamilton.id.au/general/comprehension-is-king#p7">#</a>]]></content:encoded>
