Views On Latent Semantic Indexing – LSI

Posted by Chris Taylor on Apr 22, 2009 in SEO News & Views | 0 comments

Leslie Rhodes over at Stompernet.com has recently put out a video claiming that…

  1. Latent sematic indexing is not used by the search engines.
  2. That the search engines use a much better and more advanced way of determining what keywords have meaning to each other.

Unfortunately his examples of taking high competition keywords as singular and plural in the rankings just does not strand up due to the input of other algorithms.

What I am interested in is the claim of “Referential Integrity”, how it works and what testing has been done on it to prove the theory. If none, then the theory is worth peanuts and we might as well as add it to the LSI opinion makers than Leslie has been debunking.

To grab a look at Leslie’s video go to warning regarding LSI not working.
