But none of these tops SEOs in these videos seem to do siloing on their own sites. Most importantly, I can't find one site that follows the siloing rule: Which is don't link out from detailed content pages to unrelated detailed content pages.

I never knew about Latent Symatic Indexing until just now. It totally makes sense to me know. I can definitely see how it would benefit you in the search engines to help the bots get a full feel for what your site is about. And to do that by covering not only your main keywords but also thier synonymsa nd other related words makes complete sense. Thanks for turning on that light bulb for me! :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('749','Danny Beard'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('749','Danny Beard','Great post Ramon.

Ranking higher with less dependency on external links is the obvious advantage, but also managing the flow of link weight over time is equally important. I concur with the methods presented (as we use many of them to capture both competitive, short-tail and long-tail rankings). There is always a hidden layer, which in this case is semantic mapping through LSI. However with common sense, a penchant for naming conventions and some time to research, anyone can be up and running outranking their competition using strategies like these. A+ on the presentation presented here. For a few more resources, we have a few tips on our blog as well. http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/wordpress-seo/wordpress-seo-tip-implementing-the-power-of-theming-and-siloing/ http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/how-to-reference-material/how-to-increase-relevance-using-consistent-naming-conventions-tags-site-architecture-and-links/ Enjoy...<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('709','Jeffrey Smith'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('709','Jeffrey Smith','Siloing is one of many effective site architecture tactics.

Depending on the purpose of the site, it is necessary to lay out your content in short paragraphs, interlaced with relevant images, and maybe, in this new age of web 2.0, include informative or entertaining video, exactly as this page here is set out.

Adwords ads have no implications for your organic rankings. I just said I wouldn't do it because it's not my taste: I don't like it when websites have ads all over the place. I think it's fine to have ads, especially if you can make a decent buck out of it! And hey, i'm a blogger also, so I understand... ;) But with adwords, that usually isn't the case. Affiliate deals and banners usually provide more cash.
