			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Like most people &#8211; whenever I am working on a web, blog or other &#8217;searchable&#8217; item &#8211; I have one eye on what might appeal to the search engines &#8211; the google effect.

<p>Yet anytime I look at the Google Hot Trends the most popular terms (volcanic in google-speak) are things like &#8220;Flat tummy diet&#8221;, &#8220;Britney spears&#8221; and whatever is being discussed in the broadcast media of the moment.</p>
<p>As I write this &#8211; the top ten terms being searched for are:</p>
