I’m glad you asked. Here’s what Oysterweb.co.ok had to say about the topic in February of this year:
When the search engine visits a page it will determine from the content and links the focus of a page. Latent Semantic Indexing now means that secondary and tertiary page focus is important. Basically the search engine will realise that many pages on the internet which talk about optimization often talk about placement and positioning.
The search engine now has the ability to understand that because many websites talk about these terms together that a link exists between them. The more often that the words appear together the more related they are. From this set of gathered knowledge the Semantic Index is created.
(Emphasis mine. Again. I’m not being scholaristically pompous. It becomes relevant later.
I swear.)
“Neato, Tinu”, you’re probably thinking. “So how can I make that work for my site?”
You ask such good questions. Let’s talk about that in the next tip.
