		<description><![CDATA[As anyone who has shopped around for web hosting will know, almost every site will offer &#8216;unlimited&#8217; features. You can get &#8216;unlimited&#8217; space; &#8216;unlimited&#8217; subdomains; &#8216;unlimited&#8217; email accounts, and so on.

And as with previous changes, some will have a huge impact on how AOM performs. Let&#8217;s take a look at what they&#8217;re planning, and how it will (or will not) affect your stores. Also we&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

By &#8216;unwanted&#8217; of course, we are referring to search engine spiders who comb your site, indexing hundreds (if not thousands) of pages, and give you [...]]]></description>

These can have a variety of reasons, from errors in uploading the files, server configuration, or just overlooking the obvious.
