Thanks for reading.

 

i have read all of your blog post. i think it's very good for seo

 

Nice attempt. But actually, i think your post is incorrectly titled. You are dealing with SEO, not about being an authoritative site. Nobody knows even vaguely what Google uses to determine an authoritative site. Many highly ranked sites are not considered authoritative.

Your post does deal with SEO and how to rank better on the SERPs. My 2 cents

 

I have a suspect that it could be simply a matter of;

Many backlinks
Quality backlinks
Backlink anchor text is mainly your domain name

 

Need deeplinks for better seo on google http://digg.com/tech_news/Beat_The_Google_Sandbox

 

you've been dug

 

This is a great idea if you have a keyword rich domain name.

Thank you!

 

I read it on NBB some time ago, very nice article!

Keep up the good job and we're waiting from more great articles on NBB

 

good find , an autority site should have all aspects of the subject and synonyms are a part of it.

 

Excellent article. Gaming the system with keyword keyword keyword just doesn't work anymore. Content is and always will be king. With Latent Semantic Indexing "It's good to be the king".

 

Thanks for the positive feedback.

I recently posted a new blog post on LSI and knowing your industry. Check it out if you have time:

If You Know Your Industry, You Won’t Have To Worry About LSI

 

Well you requested feedback so here it is...

Sorry to say everything in the article you have written concerning LSI is incorrect.

LSI is a difficult to understand concept and there is no evidence that it is used by Google or any other search engine. In fact there are very good reasons why they would not use LSI at this time, not least the lack of scalability.

Several SEOs have pretended to understand LSI and have written about in the past, like Aaron Wall whom you quote. At least Aaron has admitted now that he never knew the scientific definition of LSI. Unfortunately others like Andy Beal who also wrote crap on the subject is not so humble and is busy digging a big hole for himself while arguing with someone who conducts academic research in that area.

Maybe you should consider rewriting your article to help put a fork in the prevalent LSI myth rather than offer unintentential support to the “snake oil marketers".

Michael, there is evidence that Google does validate keyterms by phrases related to them on your site, correct?

 

More haste less speed....

Apologies I transposed the culprits names....

It should be Andy who recanted and Aaron who is digging the hole

Hi Mike good question! No direct evidence but with an army of ace PhDs it is probably safe to assume that Google has some kind of semantic component in the algo.

A good place to start would be the 6 recent Google patents I list in this article.

To get a feel for the future try last months Google Tech Talk.

Other clues perhaps in Google's Research Publications.

Or any domain name redirecting to a long url with keywords in them.

 

Ahh, thanks Michael. I missed your post, seems we both posted the same time.

 

Nice article. I think it all does come down to quality content, coupled with strategic use of words. Nicely done. I've dugg it as codingpad.

 

I loved it. I feel that what you wrote about is correct. Im going to LSI my upcoming site.

 

Great news for your competitors!
