Now that Google and other search engines punish keyword stuffing as a frowned-upon tactic<\/a>, optimizing your content to attract traffic has become harder.<\/p>\n

Top search firms, SEO content writers<\/a> and SEO strategists currently employ Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), which allows them to determine what a page is about regardless of the frequencies of words present. You can use LSI principles to your advantage to achieve higher SERP placement.<\/p>\n

Latent Semantic Indexing Details<\/h2>\n

In addition to accounting for changes in tense, pluralization, word order and the like, LSI also identifies synonyms for important phrases as well as verbiage that’s routinely used in conjunction with main subject words. For example, the keyword \u201cprofessional sports equipment\u201d is semantically related to the terms \u201cfitness equipment\u201d and \u201cagility sports training.\u201d \u201cAffordable legal services\u201d is pertinent to searches for \u201clegal document review\u201d and \u201clegal advice.\u201d<\/p>\n

By including words that are legitimately associated with the keyword you’re targeting, you’ll let the search algorithms know that your text is appropriate to serve to people interested in that topic. Online marketing company New Media Sources conducted a case study and found that a new page using LSI techniques got 20 times as many hits\u00a0as a similar page created at the same time that did not use such a strategy.<\/p>\n

How to Use LSI<\/h2>\n

You can tweak your website to include LSI keywords without making it sound awkward or artificial. Ultimate Keyword Hunter<\/a> is a great resource and is available for free download merely by providing your email address. If you prefer a web interface, try LSI Graph<\/a> although unregistered users are limited to three queries per day.<\/p>\n

Before delving into these specialized tools, however, you should be aware that Google routinely provides valuable info every time you search the web. Whenever you start typing in the search bar \u2013 as long as you have autocomplete turned on \u2013 you’ll see a list of possible matches:<\/p>\n
