What is LSI keywords

[jaysh4922]

These are essentially keywords related to the keywords that you are searching for, and Google does this by using a system known as LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). In a nutshell, it is based on user search patterns and behavior, how one keyword search is usually linked to another keyword search.

atent semantic indexing keywords (or LSI keywords) are nothing but SEO terms for related keywords or synonyms.

LSI Keywords are essentially keywords related to the keyword that you search for on search engines such as Google. In a nutshell, they are keywords that are semantically linked to your main keyword.

LSI stands for Latent Semantic Indexing. These are keywords that are similar to synonyms and related keywords, but not entirely so. They are the words a normal human would use when talking about the keyword topic.

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 pag

LSI, which stands for latent semantic indexing, is a part of the Google algorithm which aids the search engine in providing the best search results possible. When content writers understand what LSI is, they can take advantage of the process in order to rank their optimized pages better in the search results.
Latent Semantic Indexing allows Google to associate similar words which can be related to a specific topic. For example, if a page is about "dog arthritis" and optimized for that term, there may very well be other words on the page such as canine, joint disease, glucosamine, limping, osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, etc.
The search engine has seen this pattern on enough pages that they now know to connect those words with the overall topic of "dog arthritis". Seeing those words on the page along with the primary keyword gives Google more confidence in ranking the page well for the optimized term.
When webmasters understand this connection the search algorithm is making with the related words and how much the associations mean, they can better create content which is deemed relevant to the engine.
But there is an added benefit in understanding LSI for those attempting to use search engine optimization for ranking pages high in the search results. Nowadays, the keyword densities allowed by Google are quite lower than what they used to be. In the past, 5 to 7 percent was quite the norm. However, today 1 to 2 percent is more expected by the Google search engine. Anything more will begin to border on appearing to be keyword spamming.
Therefore, when a writer does their research and assembles a list of all the related synonyms and other words that could be associated with the optimized term, they will better be able to write content which is not perceived as having too dense of keywords. Just a simple example, one could use the term feline in place of "cat" on a page being optimized for "cat flea collar". There are countless other examples of such words which can be exchanged for one another without hurting the optimization or causing any red flags to be raised by Google for any possible resemblance of spamming.
Finding these related words which can be used to take advantage of Latent Semantic Indexing is quite easy. Simply go to the free Google keyword tool, often called the "external" tool, and search the preferred which will be optimized for. Do not check the box on the search page which limits the results to only those containing the primary keyword. In other words, you will want the keyword tool to show you all the related words the search engine finds relevant to the term.
Once that list is obtained, it makes writing the content much easier and also feeds the search algorithm with content which greatly aids in serving high quality search results.

LSI keywords are also useful for optimization. These keywords are related to your business and should be given value to contribute in making your trade successful. We must also optimize information and include such keywords in our content.
