Can anyone please explain, what is LSI and it's role in SEO?

Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is a system used by Google and other major search engines (Update: read here, thanks for the Tweets, guys) The contents of a webpage are crawled by a search engine and the most common words and phrases are collated and identified as the keywords for the page.

alexandhartman · 09-17-2015, 03:47 AM

In latent semantic indexing, Google sorts sites on the frequency of a variety of terms and key phrases linked together instead of on the frequency of a single term. Though your text content should include your main keyword or phrase, the content should never focus solely on that keyword or phrase. There is a possibility that Google may see the page as being over-optimized and penalties or a dip in rankings may result. But this doesn't mean that keywords shouldn't be used on your pages. Instead, using keywords/phrases plus latent semantic indexing can help your site. Here's how:

1.Don't overstuff your keywords. We recommend keeping your keyword densities to three to four percent.
2.It is good to use your main keyword within the first paragraph so it can possibly be used in search results, but overall, try to use the keywords where they sound natural.
3.Use terms that describe the same idea as the keyword you are using, but be careful of terms that have multiple meanings. A search results page may give an irrelevant return in such cases.
4.Don't use the same keywords in your title and headings, but use related terms that sound natural.
5.Use your main keywords in your Title tag because this information is what is displayed in the search engine results. Every page should have a unique title using the keywords that target those pages.
6.Because search engines cannot read images, use your keywords and key phrases in ALT attributes. These should be short, relevant phrases that describe the image.
7.Make use of your keywords in anchor text. Using a keyword as anchor text allows the search engines to understand the subject of the page that the link leads to. Mix your related keyword terms into your anchor text, as well, to help them appear less manipulated.

Latent semantic indexing keywords (or LSI keywords) are nothing but SEO terms for related keywords or synonyms. In this Article I will cover basic aspects.

LSI means Latent Semantic Indexing, Latent semantic indexing helps search engines to find out what a web page is all about. It basically means to you that you shouldn't focus on a single keyword when i optimizing your web pages and when getting links.

hello freinds Basically, LSI is a method which is used to identify the context of words and language within a document, especially identifying words and phrases which are very similar or identical with others within the document, and also sorting out those words which could have different meanings and might be misleading.
So, for example, let's say you have an article on your website that you are using to market the idea of shoe polish. Don't worry, it's just an example, and you'll soon see what I'm getting at.

LSI stands for Latent Semantic Indexing. Latent Semantic Indexing keywords can make your content look more natural to search engines and users. Instead of using the exact phrase repeatedly throughout your text, you can use synonyms and other terms that are related to your content and have the same meaning with your target key phrase.

Latent semantic indexing adds an important step to the document indexing process. In addition to recording which keywords a document contains, the method examines the document collection as a whole, to see which other documents contain some of those same words. LSI considers documents that have many words in common to be semantically close, and ones with few words in common to be semantically distant. This simple method correlates surprisingly well with how a human being, looking at content, might classify a document collection. Although the LSI algorithm doesn't understand anything about what the words mean, the patterns it notices can make it seem astonishingly intelligent.

LSI looks for synonyms related to the title of your page. For example, if the title of your page was “Classic Cars”, the search engine would expect to find words relating to that subject in the content of the page as well, i.e. “collectors”, “automobile”, “Bentley”, “Austin” and “car auctions”.
