You did the keyword research.  You wrote the article.  Your resource box is so good that you sense a click-through rate world’s record in your near future.  You might be a bum marketer, but you’re producing high-potential material.  Guess what?  It might not be enough.

Some other goofball who accidentally stumbled onto your great long tail keyword may end up beating you by three pages in the search engine results.  A less-than-relevant page from some random site that doesn’t even use your keyword could end up getting more traffic than your perfectly assembled article.

What’s the scoop?  How can you bump your articles up in the SERPs for maximum exposure (and maximum profits)?  Sometimes, the only difference between Google’s second page and an awesome position is a handful of links.  If you can get a few back links directly to your article, you might be able to climb the ladder.

So, how are you supposed to get back links to your bum articles?  Let’s run through a few different options. 

First, social bookmarking is a great shortcut.  You can set up an account at a series of social bookmarking sites and drop a link to each of your articles.  If that seems a little time consuming (and it can be), you can get a free account at OnlyWire or another services that allows you add bookmarks across a series of sites with a few mouse clicks.

Second, blogging can be a great way to get the job done.  Set up a handful of blogs at some of the more popular free sites.  Link to your articles from your Blogspot and Wordpress logs and you can give your bum pieces a boost.

Third, you can actually write articles about articles.  This little known trick is great.  Some directories will let you pepper your articles with additional links.  You can use that opportunity to link back to your own articles.  One nifty trick is to write an article about the fact that you’ve just published three articles.  Link (with anchor text, of course) to each of those three articles within your new offering.  If you mass distribute this one, it’s going to add a healthy supply of links back to your original bum article.

Fourth, use your other properties.  Link to an article from one of your sites.  If you work with Squidoo lenses or Hubpages, you can quickly generate some nice links back to your articles, helping them to climb up in the SERPs.

There are many ways to generate some extra links back to your articles.  Use some of these simple ideas and compliment them with a little bit of your own creativity.  You can finally start getting great results from your bum marketing efforts once you start bumping those articles!

Latent Semantic Indexing is all the talk now among Webmasters trying to keep up with the ever-changing Google indexing for sites.

First of all what is Latent Semantic Indexing? Well it is a complex mathematical formula, but it is being used by search engines to help them determine what a site is all about.

It is now known that Google especially are giving more importance to websites that are closely themed, and this can be very effective for achieving a good position in search engine results.

Google when it visits a web page will not only look at the keywords included on a page, but will look at all the content to see the relevance of the content to the keywords.

This will help search engines to better understand the overall theme of the page.

Assuming you have done some keyword research using one of the keyword tools available, I personally recommend Wordtracker as I find the results more reliable. What is the next step to make website pages more closely themed?

The answer is to try to use as many of the results returned from the keyword tool in your content. This of course needs to be done so that the pages reads well of course.

Using this method, search engines are in no doubt as to the theme of the web page.

Google uses LSI to associate words for classifying pages, as opposed to depending only on the keywords of the past.

Another use of latent semantic indexing is in helping Google in assessing the write type of adsense ads to display on web pages.

To see what words Google thinks are related to a keyword for example, just do a search for any word with the ~ tilde key first. It is possible to get a list from Google of related keywords.

Use their keyword tool, it may provide new words that haven’t been returned by the keyword tool you have used.

A list of results will be returned that Google say are related to your keyword.

Now to get top positions in search engines, it will be important to consider latent semantic indexing because of the close theming of pages will result in higher rankings in search engines.

There is nothing complicated with using latent semantic indexing for your web pages, it is a question of having closely themed sites with content that is related to one theme, so there can be no doubt as to the pages topic.

Another important point to consider is to make sure that you have the anchor text (the words in the hyper links) should vary. It is a good idea to use different words related to your main keyword.

Do not have all the incoming links pointing to one page. By varying the anchor text this will not only get more pages indexed, but will also help with the theming of websites.
