    [SEO Tip] What is Latent Semantic Indexing or LSI?

    What is Latent Semantic Indexing or LSI?

    The term "latent" means "hidden" or "concealed."
    The term "Semantic" means "interconnected system."
    The term "index" as a verb means "order."

    Roughly translated, LSI is a "hidden interconnected system order" that is being used in search engines to deliver a measure of "artificial intelligence" to the search engines. With LSI influences in Google, search engines are beginning to understand a whole lot more about the "context" of a message.

    Not only must we remember the importance of writing excellent, high value content into our Web site, but we also need to understand that it is all based on what a search engine "knows" about a specific topic based on its overall collected data.

    One easy way to find out what words a search engine "thinks" are connected to your important keywords, is to use Wordtrackers "Full Search Function" in the members area of Wordtracker.
