LSI keywords for UK niches

[birdman87]

Hi

I am aware that LSI keyword tools use the top ten search results. My problem is that the website I'm trying to rank is in the financial niche in the UK.

Various terms mean different things and many things we have terms for over here don't exist in the US. Is there any free LSI keyword tool that you guys know about that has an option to search googles top ten in the UK.

thanks

Go to my blog called coconut headphones and read the latest article - look for the description of GoRank's tool, you can grab the URLs from the SERP yourself and just paste them in.

Also there's a nice bookmarklet detailed in the same posting that will help you grab the URLs.

Search for the keyword then have a look at the related searches in google.co.uk

LSI is naturally applied to any well written content anyway. I wouldn't get bogged down with looking for tools.

From what I see
the LSI kw tool basically just takes any website

well (llist of top 10 I guess)

and lists the number of times each word occurs
I would think you would not even need an LSI tool for that

its just some type of word counting program, very similar to kw density program

sorry Can I ask question What is LSI? I read from other site but still don't understand what is it.

The LSI tool is misnamed, it should be called the Keyword Frequency Analysis tool.

LSI means Latent Semantic Indexing, which has absolutely *nothing* to do with keyword frequency analysis or analyzing keyword frequencies of top SERP competitors.

People in the SEO industry have come to refer to the practice of analyzing keyword frequencies of top SERP competitors in order to determine what yours should be as "LSI", but it's a misnomer.

Latent Semantic Indexing involves analyzing a massive corpus of documents and using matrix math to correlate both terms to term and terms to documents to come up with how "related" they all are, with an actual numeric relatedness value.

Google has stated in a paper on determining bounce rate in page search that they have access to a process "similar to Latent Semantic Analysis", which in my opinion is probably Principal Components Analysis based (it's a related approach). So one could say, roughly, that Google is likely using an LSI-like algorithm as part of its ranking algorithm.

Anyway, the LSI tool is misnamed, even for our industry which is misusing the term LSI itself, so it's a misnomer of a misnomer. However, it's a great tool.

For what people in our industry refer to as LSI analysis check out the goRank tool.
