The focus is now on intent and data analysis. Over a period of time, the users got smarter. They want to read engaging content that is useful for them and not the search engines. Content should not be overly stuffed with keywords any longer. If so is the case, it is flagged as junk content. The audience wants a variety of formats for their content now. They wish to see videos, memes, infographics, podcasts, white papers and images. There was no focus on the variety of formats used to write content. The efforts were also directed towards stuffing the title tags with keywords at the cost of compromising the readability of the phrases.
