    Can anybody please help me with this...

    Ive heard the term 'Semantic SEO' mentioned recently, along with words like 'Microformats' and 'RDFA'.

    What is Semantic SEO?

    Are any of you implementing it?

    Should I be implementing it?

    Your help is always appreciated!

    Regards,
    Sam

    The new feature allows users to refine the search by choosing directions to follow. If you search for [football], you may want to find sports News, or alternative sports suggestions, research papers or news.

    If you click on [football], Google will follow this link:
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...AQ&q=football+more:+condition_+sports&spell=1

    Google uses a new operator, more, that has special arguments (in this case, condition_sports). cx is a new parameter that provides the context.

    This is a search technique and a process of SEO. And everyone has its own terms for same processes. Basic seo concepts will never change.

    It has got to do with relevancy in search results . SE work on LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) and the relevancy and scope of the post is decided right at the time of indexing it . You may write a post on the latest version of cellphone running on android but it is still the responsibility of the search engine to return the post as a search result for not just the keyword "android" but a host of keywords related to it .
