Please excuse the light posting this morning. We switched servers last night and managed about 3 hours of sleep in the process. I’m still working on some glitches, but hope to have everything fixed by the end of the day.
In the meantime, here’s some news of note…
- Both Google and Yahoo are experimenting with new social media technologies.
- Mark Evans reminds us that nothing is “off the record.”
- Dr. E. Garcia is challenging SEO’s concept of LSI. I’ll defer to my former co-worker Mike Marshall, who’s the expert on LSI. As I’m mentioned in the article, I’ll say this: I don’t know the scientific definition of LSI, but I have seen first hand that theme-based SEO can work. If that’s not what LSI is, I won’t mention it again.
- Read/WriteWeb’s Richard MacManus is living the blogging dream!
- Jotspot’s wiki is coming to Google Apps soon!

The SEO community still doesn’t get LSI. You cannot engage in “LSI optimization”. That is a total non sequitur.
If the search engines were really implementing latent semantic indexing, there would be no need for traditional keyword-based optimization. We would all be optimizing by topic (and so-called “theming” or “theme-based SEO” goes in the wrong direction).
The sooner SEOs give up on LSI the better, because right now anyone selling “LSI SEO” is selling a sham service. There is no such thing.

Changing servers and transfering site to new server sometimes needs more administrative effort, if you have customizations on application.
