Latent Semantic Indexing has been around for a while now. Many SEO consultants throw the phrase “LSI” around to impress their clients. After all, who wouldn’t be impressed by a 3 letter acronym that most people know nothing about. LSI is a system that helps search engines figure out how relevant your pages are based on the set of keywords that you are using on each and every page. You can easily find your LSI keywords by using Google Adwords tools. If you have used Google Adwords Keyword tool before, you have probably seen the “related keyword” option. By using those keywords, you help search engines find out exactly what your page is about.
You can optimize your pages by adding LSI keywords to them. But how do you find out what keywords work the best. Not all LSI keywords are created the same. You can always guess. But the better way is to monitor what pages are currently getting ranked high on search engines, and what LSI combinations are used on those pages.
Keyword LSI Spy is a cool keyword tool that takes the guessing game out of your LSI strategy. Keyword LSI Spy 2 goes through top pages in your niche and finds out the keywords that are being used to dominate the search engines. You also get the standard feature that you would get with any other keyword tool:
- The page’s wordcount
- URL Analysis
- Tag analysis
- Link analysis (internal/external)
- Character analysis
- Keyword analysis
- Keyword density
The LSI concept is not that hard to understand, but it’d be too time consuming if you do everything by hand. That’s why I prefer to outsource some of the process by using tools such as KLS 2.0. I know a lot of SEO purists rather do everything by hand, but there are better ways to spend your time.
