LSI What does LSI stand for ?
LSI stands for Latent Semantic Indexing. Basically LSI describes a better way for search engines or any indexing program to categorise content. LSI can also make sure that these automatic content generator scripts can easily be found out. With Latent Semantic Indexing search engines try to find out from the text what content it should be used in.
Example of LSI
For example, if you have a webpage and the main topic is about apples. This page can be about more than apples, the fruit, it could also be about the famous iPod & MacBook manufacturer. If there are many words describing the taste, it is more likely that we are talking about the fruit. While if there were words like computer or keyboard mentioned on the page, we could be sure that it's about Apple Computers.
LSI is something that should come naturally to your pages. Recently it has been seen as a big marketing word, but there is nothing special to it really.
