The Impact Of Semantic Indexing On SEO Part Two

June 18th, 2008 by Dan

An Evolution In Search Engine Optimization

Keywords have long been an integral facet of search engine optimization. Using a keyword several times in the content of a page, and in various other areas of a page, indicated to a search engine spider that that page was relevant to that specific keyword. Building inbound links using that same keyword as the anchor text would then promote the page even further in the rankings. That’s a simplified view of SEO but it has changed, in some respects, thanks to semantic indexing.

A Range Of Keywords

Rather than using a single keyword, pages need to concentrate on a handful of topically related keywords. These keywords should naturally occur in organic content, but they also need to be implemented into a link profile. Rather than just encouraging links that use a page’s primary keywords, a more effective link profile is one that incorporates numerous semantically related keywords.

The Benefits Of Semantic SEO

Semantic SEO may sound stifling but it offers greater opportunity to generate search traffic and it enables website owners and content writers greater leeway in the creation of content. Rather than stuffing a page with a single keyword and then attempting to build hundreds or thousands of links using that same keyword, SEOs have much greater freedom.

Why We Should Embrace LSI Into Our SEO Campaign

Semantic indexing is one of the latest evolutionary steps in search engine indexing. It further attempts to build lists of organically created web pages that are relevant to a particular search and offer genuine value to the web page visitor. Far from being an obstacle to search engine optimization it presents us with greater freedom in creating high quality sites filled with genuine content. This, in turn, will usually prove to be of greater value in improving conversions and increasing sales.
