Anyone who has not read the article in today's newsletter Latent Semantic Indexing: What Is It? should do so. Very good, clearly written and educational.

ha ha ha ha...hmmmm

I will work my way back Matte...still feelin crap around here..... I most certainly have a few things on it. A few things caught my eye. I read it before I even hit the showers this morning...

For now, get out a salt shaker on it..... I shall get back asap...

For perspective and additional info;

Earlier this summer by yours truly;

John Andrews I do like on the matter as well;

I read the article and it explained to me why I was seeing so many crap pages on google searches.  I even wrote google and asked why all these nonsense pages were showing up on keywords I used to search.  Now I know.....

But now that latent semantic indexing has been explained, what's to keep the unscrupulous from must modifying their adsense-producing pages to include more specific keywords?

Will it ever end?  It's probably been the most difficult challenge I've faced as a webmaster, to constantly have to complete with nonsense sites that somehow outrank every site I have.

I hope google can stop them.

It can be done, but the pages it turns out are just as bad - think there's some more stuff in the algo that can filter it out.

We noticed that good grammar helps in the SERPS; hard to write a quick app that implements good grammar

Think G is getting on top of it

Thanks.  That makes sense.  Hope you are right and the big G has them in their sights.
