At the risk of perpetuating the rather tired \u2018content is king\u2019 clich\u00e9\u2026it really is. And it\u2019s also never been a more relevant approach to marketing, as content is the one critical measure of website quality that really isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n
For the most part, advertising and marketing strategies tend to be based on short-term results.
