With
both Google and MSN rumoured to be
dabbling with semantics, there are
more people suddenly worried about
the semantic associations of the words
and phrases their sites show for.
While it's never too late to start
building semantic territory for your
site, it should be an organic process.
The benefits are obvious, but if you
construct a site without giving some
thought to the kind of semantic territory
it should occupy you could be building
your mall by the side of the motorway
then waiting for the off-ramp.
You should also consider the response
of engines to your site.
Associating
your brand with random words and phrases
in searches may be having a hidden and long-lasting
effect. Being more specific and precise
in your approach gives you some control
over the impressions people get when searching
for your brand. Current semantic campaigns
include John Lewis, Skype, Opodo and Tesco
who have launched Tesco Jersey for UK shoppers.
