How does Latent Semantic Indexing Function?
Latent Semantic Indexing functions based upon traditional keyword algorithms. I am being purposefully simplistic in this section so as only to focus on what you need to know. Currently a search engine will find your website by finding inbound links, links from other websites to your website, and following these to your site. When in your site The spider will read your code. From the code it will Index all the on and off screen content. From this it will make a table of keyphrases densities. This density is used in part of a Search Engine algorithm to determine a sites position in the search engine results. Basically this is to give results where the phrase you searched for appears on the page. From the Links pointing to your site the target page will become more important for that term, in a very simplistic manner MSN uses this it appears as the corner stone for results . It is also central to Google and the other main search engines.
