There is a natural evolution from SEO to Domain relevance expertise.<br><br><span>History: there currently exists a constraint from Google (puppet master/rainmaker) that in order to prove authority, one must have links from (presumably) interested sites. However said linkage can become so arbitrary as to be utterly useless. In an attempt to develop a system that did not require the author to spend time considering the semantics of their web page content, we provided a javascript solution ( <a target="_blank" href="http://relaxseo.com/stumbleseo.php">http://relaxseo.com/stumbleseo.php</a> ) that hopes to parse the 'meaning' of a

Ontologies require additional thought whereas exchanging links is a 'no brainer', historically this is a barrier to adoption (having to think , that is).<br><br>So a clearinghouse for folksonomy/semantics makes a great deal of sense and we would be interested in back-propagating our app to a reasonable 'template of terms' (we were considering WordNet).<br><br>I think this begins to explain why we are here ...<br><br>Dave<br></div></div></body></html>
