Ask Jeeves and blogline

askJeeves as just acquired BlogLine. I thought, hey, best opportunity to have a look at what it is and what they offer.

Pretty sleak design, easy to register, and even easier to start your blog (I find it even easier than blogger to be honest).

Here we go: galide on blogline. doesn't mean anything to you.

Doesn't matter, it is a public experiment, based on some read from searchenginewatch. will try to optimise a galide page for content management system (I'll just have to edit one the existing page on this blog). But first, let's build some semantic connections here and there, as it is suggested on an interesting thread from SEW (Let's see if it works).

One of the poster has suggested an interesting drill to optimise pages following "semantic rules":
1) I search the top 50 SERPs for the word "poster frames"
2) I document 7 words to the left and 7 words to the right of each occurence of "poster frames" in all 50 pages.
3) I statistically look for patterns/frequency of these contiguous words excluding the words "poster" and "frames" and stop words
4) I come up with new semantically related words like "prints", "movie", "design", "furniture", "display", "posters" that repeat frequently
5) cross reference these words against synonyms in WordNet
6) cross reference againast clustering search engines (i.e vivisimo, iclusty) for key phrase "poster frames"
7) look for "chunker" patterns (i.e- prepositional phrases)
8) write good relevant text/copy incorporating these related words and chunking patterns

1 day before going on holiday, I feel too lazy to set up a benchmark to test this. So.. it was just to illustrate what optimisation will start looking like if it turns out that it works. I will bet on it, the idea sounds quite attractive, and I have used already all the time I usually dedicate to SEO ... No more thoughts about it, let's get hands dirty, and track if any good results show up.
