How to convince even the pickiest editors to take SEO more seriously :: brigh...Ian Helms
Let's face it: Editorial teams may not prioritize SEO, but it's an essential aspect of online content creation. Editorial teams are under constant pressure to produce timely and relevant content, often overlooking the long-term benefits of search-friendly, evergreen articles. While breaking news and current events are crucial for driving immediate traffic, organic-focused content can provide long-term value by continuously attracting visitors through search engines. During this presentation, Ian will share his historical experience working with editorial teams and how he successfully incorporates SEO into their workflow. You'll learn how they address common pain points and use data to generate enthusiasm for organic search.
In this talk, Beth will give an introduction of what schema is, where it sits within a structured data framework, and its use cases. Then she’ll move on to the types that can be used or are no longer recognised by search engines. This will be followed by a hands-on discussion of how to audit a website, how to write the relevant code, and ways to implement and test.

Searching the all-time growing amount of global data and research results and retrieving only the relevant and up-to date information becomes more and more challenging. The amount of data including the big data issue in the IoT world makes it even more challenging. How can an employee keeping himself up to date and include the relevant information into his work and ensure his work includes the most relevant and latest information. Most search engines today provide some sort of semantic based answers to the queries you enter into the system. However, most search engines do not know you well enough to provide you with the best answers based on who you are, and what you really want for an answer. Here is today's challenge combined with the growing amount of data and media you find it in. The answer might be closer than you think.
This presentation was also presented to Time Inc. outlining the factors that go into executing a successful search marketing campaign. This presentation was given in consideration of specific client needs and geared towards an audience of traditional marketers that was relatively unfamiliar with search.
An overview of some core concept in natural language processing, some example (experimental for now!) use cases, and a brief survey of some tools I have explored.
Data Science Salon: In your own words: computing customer similarity from tex...Formulatedby
In order to attract customers, companies aim to provide an experience that is personalized to their audience. Typically this involves assigning customers to certain “segments” based on their characteristics and creating a personalized experience for each segment. Often the mostly widely available data sources for customers tend to be unstructured text (e.g. social media profiles, websites). Since reading each document is not a scalable approach, practitioners use a set of techniques for extracting information from text loosely referred to as Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Next DSS MIA Event - https://datascience.salon/miami/
Next DSS AUS Event - https://datascience.salon/austin/
In this workshop, we will walk through an NLP use-case computing similarity from business website text in Python. We will explore the use of the spaCy and scikit-learn libraries to preprocess and tokenize page text. We will then walk through methods for turning tokenized text into page-level numeric vectors (i.e. TF-IDF weighting and word vectors). Using these vectors, we will make use of several matrix factorization techniques to distill the vectors into a smaller set of features. These steps will familiarize participants with some common steps in NLP pipelines.
After each of the above steps, we will explore how the information extracted can be used for customer segmentation based on a similarity measure. Specifically, we will focusing on how each stage affects the similarity between pages. Through this exploration, participants will gain an understanding of how different processing may be appropriate for different NLP use-cases. For example, fitting topic models to document vectors is most useful when there is likely to be a distinct set of topics among the document set.
The workshop will conclude with a discussion about how these techniques are currently used in production at ThriveHive. This will provide participants with an example of how they might be able to make use of what we explored in their own work. Any additional time will be devoted to discussing advanced techniques in NLP such as text autoencoders for computing context-sensitive similarity between documents.

The Reason Behind Semantic SEO: Why does Google Avoid the Word PageRank?Koray Tugberk GUBUR
This article delves into the concepts of Semantic SEO, Topical Authority, and PageRank, exploring their relationships and how they benefit both website owners and search engines. By leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, Semantic SEO improves search engine comprehension of content and enhances user experience, ultimately leading to better search results.
In the ever-evolving world of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), understanding the intricate connections between Semantic SEO, Topical Authority, and PageRank is crucial for webmasters, content creators, and marketers. These concepts play a vital role in enhancing the visibility and relevance of websites in search results.
Semantic SEO: Going Beyond Keywords
Semantic SEO involves optimizing content by focusing on the meaning and context of words, phrases, and sentences rather than merely targeting specific keywords. This is achieved through NLP techniques such as topic modeling, sentiment analysis, and entity recognition, which allow search engines to comprehend the true essence of content.
Topical Authority: Establishing Expertise and Trustworthiness
Topical Authority refers to the perceived expertise of a website or content creator in a specific subject area. By producing high-quality, relevant, and in-depth content, websites can establish themselves as authorities, earning the trust of both users and search engines. This translates into higher search rankings and increased visibility.
PageRank: Measuring the Importance of Webpages
PageRank is an algorithm used by Google to determine the significance of a webpage by analyzing the quality and quantity of its inbound links. A higher PageRank implies that a website is more authoritative and valuable, thus warranting a better position in search results.
The Interrelation of Semantic SEO, Topical Authority, and PageRank
Semantic SEO, Topical Authority, and PageRank are interconnected concepts that work in tandem to improve a website's search performance. By focusing on Semantic SEO, content creators can enhance their Topical Authority and establish a solid online presence. This, in turn, can lead to higher PageRank and improved search visibility.
The Benefits of Semantic SEO for Search Engines
Semantic SEO not only benefits website owners but also search engines by reducing the cost of understanding documents. With the help of NLP techniques, search engines can efficiently analyze and comprehend content, making it easier to identify and index relevant webpages. This ultimately leads to more accurate search results and a better user experience.
In conclusion, embracing Semantic SEO, Topical Authority, and PageRank is essential for achieving higher search rankings and increased online visibility. By leveraging NLP techniques, Semantic SEO offers a more sophisticated and efficient approach to understanding and optimizing content, ultimately benefiting both website owners and search engines.

Marketing AI - How to Build a Keyword OntologyDan Segal
From a workshop presented at MinneWebCon 2018. Keywords are the life’s blood of a marketing enterprise. Most marketing organizations struggle to find the right keywords for their teams. At IBM we built a keyword ontology, which is a fancy name for a set of taxonomies related to the keywords our target audiences most often use in their search queries. We use the ontology to ensure that new pages are built with the language of the customer. This workshop discusses the use of AI-enhanced processes to drive keyword management, as well as practical methods for search and IA success.
Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented "An Overview of Taxonomies and AI" on January 30th, 2024, in the inaugural webinar of the Artificial Intelligence webinar series: The promise and the perils,” hosted by the Knowledge & Information Management Group of CILIP, the library and information association of the UK. In her presentation, Heather explained, with examples, how both generative AI and other AI technologies support taxonomy development and use and how taxonomies can support AI applications.
Explore the presentation to learn:
Why both top-down and bottom-up methods are needed in taxonomy creation
What AI methods are used for auto-tagging and auto-classification with taxonomies
How AI methods can extract candidate terms for taxonomy creation
How generative AI can be used for certain bottom-up taxonomy development tasks
How AI can be used to analyze a taxonomy against a corpus of documents
How generative AI can be used in queries to analyze a taxonomy
What AI applications taxonomies can support

How to implement Schemas using schema.org on your website >> SMX London 2015Sante J. Achille
This is the presentation I gave at SMX London 2015 on how to bring your website to the next level by implementing schemas with schema.org.
The presentation is a high level overview which introduces the fundamental concepts of data, information and how the combination of both can produce entities, defined as items in schema.org.
I cover the basic aspects of how to implement schema onto a website by covering an example. I also highlight the importance of nesting types and properties in order to provide as many useful signals to the search engines as possible, in an effort to provide structure and disambiguate: by doing so we reduce uncertainty by providing context which is of great help to the search engines.
There are a number of challenges and technical difficulties in creating a schema with existing HTML: for this I believe the the search engines have decided to recommend the us of JSON LD - very powerful and does not interfere with existing HTML or CSS.
The creation of a schema model is not an IT task, rather a strategic initiative to be undertaken by management and marketing staff. IT should take over once the mode has been defined and is ready to be implemented.
A schema model is an ongoing effort which should reflect the business model of the enterprise as well as the evolution of schema itself.
Schemas >> Schema.org >> Take Your Website to a New Level with Schema Markup Sante J. Achille
This presentation walks you through my findings on how to use schema markup to take your website “to the next level”. I have been working with schema in a number of fields and have seen consistent improvements in all of them. In this presentation I’ll share insights on how you can implement a schema the right way …
There is a fundamental difference between data and information: Data are for example temperatures we collect via satellite imaging of the earth … If we look at this from a search marketing perspective, we’ll see that our websites all have at they very heart a database where each record is linked to others: queries can exract answers to complex questions and by doing so obtain INFORMATION. But once the query has been triggered and the page created it becomes just another page the search engines index – the challenge for the search engines is to understand what each page is all about…
Data must be processed and interpreted: by doing so we transform it into information and derive trends: it becomes actionable!
Organizations process information to reduce Uncertainty and Equivocality: The keyword is disambiguation.
There are certain requirements we implicitly take for granted about the information we produce and consume in our everyday life… information is required to be available for us to consume, we also need that information to be consistent across the various platforms: of course this is true when we refer to information about places or products, events or findings, we would like this to be applicable also to news…
These requirements can be further defined when information provides attributes such as properties, characteristics, features and/or location…
When all these aspects have been defined the set of data with attributes then becomes an ENTITY.
And Entities can be linked amongst each other to express concepts and answer questions: It is the world of linked data.
Now let's look at Schema and how to use schema.org
The Schema.org website offers an explanation on WHY we should use schema – here are a few key elements which help understand why schema is so important…
I’d like to draw your attention to this aspect – what they are saying here is that search technology cannot compete with our capability to understand and interpret content.
That’s why we need to add this additional layer of code to our pages and give the search engines more “clues” and signals about our pages and our website (=what our website is about, main focus, etc.)
And this is done with itemscope and itemtype – let’s see what they are and how we can use them …
With itemscope we specify (and thereby alert the search engines) that this segment of the page is related to a certain topic – but that’s not enough: we need to specify WHAT that topic is and provide AS MANY DETAILS AS POSSIBLE ABOUT IT – more on this in the next slides.

Oggi affrontiamo un tema non solo di attualità ma anche molto affascinante che è la ricerca semantica e come possiamo migliorare i nostri siti per rimanere in posizioni di dominanza nel nostro segmento di mercato oppure come raggiungere i nostri competitor.
La ricerca semantica SEO implica molte cose: questo è un percorso che trasformerà radicalmente il modo in cui facciamo i siti ed affrontiamo il SEO, ed è per questa ragione che oggi vi presento gli elementi che sono alla base di quella che possiamo definire la prossima rivoluzione del web: Dai Dati e Documenti alle Informazioni e le Entità: Il Web del Linked Data.
C’è differenza tra Dati ed informazioni anche se spesso siamo abituati ad utilizzare le due parole in maniera intercambiabile. Il dato (da latino datum che significa letteralmente fatto) è una descrizione elementare, spesso codificata, di una cosa, di una transazione, di un avvenimento o di altro. Il dato è ad esempio la rilevazione delle temperature.
L’Informazione deriva dall’analisi ed interpretazione dei dati: analizzando ed interpretando i dati delle temperature raccolte si possono fare delle considerazioni ed identificare dei trend sul riscaldamento globale.
L’elaborazione dell’informazione ha due scopi: Ridurre l’incertezza e ridurre l’ambiguità.
I siti web sono popolati da miliardi di documenti che offrono molti dati, spesso dal contesto molto debole, e di difficile interpretazione – in una sola parola sono “ambigui”.
Per essere utili, le informazioni devono avere alcune caratteristiche importanti e cioè essere sempre disponibili (così come lo sono i documenti nel web), Consistenti (ovvero non contradditorio, sempre uguale a se stessa), Inequivocabile (Tale da escludere qualsiasi riserva o incertezza; chiaro, indubbio, univoco), ed Affidabile (Su cui si può fare affidamento, degno di motivata fiducia).
Alle Informazioni possiamo attribuire delle Proprietà (persona animale o cosa), delle Caratteristiche (Dimensioni, peso nome, razza), delle Connotazioni (ad esempio l’aspetto, attributi, particolarità) ed infine una geolocalizzazione (dove è ubicato).
Quando un’informazione è così identificata e ad essa sono attribuibili uno o più degli elementi attribuibili, l’informazione diventa Entità.
Costruire uno Schema per un web non è una cosa semplice o immediata. Occorre sviluppare un modello di riferimento e vi farò vedere come fare nelle prossime slides. Come potete vedere alla pagina della screenshot che vi propongo, ci sono tantissimi elementi a disposizione (oltre 700) per sviluppare gli schema.
Una cosa che vi posso anticipare è che non esistono delle regole, oltre le indicazioni che vedremo nelle prossime slides ed oggi siamo nella fase di sperimentazione. Possiamo Paragonare la nostra attività di architetti dell’informazione, a quella del cuoco: molto spesso gli ingredienti di una ricetta sono noti a tutti (ad esempio per fare una semplicissima pizza) eppure il r
La velocità delle evoluzioni nella cultura della progettazioneSante J. Achille
Ho pochi minuti a disposizione per affrontare il tema della velocità di trasformazione tecnologica ed i suoi impatti sulle scelte progettuali di grande attualità ed interesse per noi dell’Aquila.
Vi racconto la storia degli scacchi che forse non tutti sanno …
La leggenda di origine orientale attribuisce l’invenzione degli scacchi a Sissa Nassir: il re di Persia, a cui ne fece dono, entusiasta, gli chiese cosa desiderasse per ricompensa; la richiesta di Nassir fu solo apparentemente modesta.
Chiese infatti un chicco di riso per la prima casella, per la seconda il doppio, per la terza il doppio della seconda, per la quarta il doppio della terza, e così via, ma il conto del numero dei chicchi di riso non è presto fatto e conduce ad un numero davvero grande, al punto che, data l’impossibilità per il sovrano di mantenere la promessa, sentendosi preso in giro, anziché premiarlo, fece mozzare la testa al povero Nassir.
Questa Scacchiera rappresenta perfettamente il progresso tecnologico dell’umanità …
Pare che oggi ci troviamo nell’intorno della ventesima casella – il meglio deve ancora venire
Le evoluzioni tecnologiche sono il motore del cambiamento: si può essere attori protagonisti o spettatori passivi.
Cito due punti che Paolo ha sottolineato nella pagina Facebook di presentazione di questo evento:
“Dalla qualità del progetto nasce la possibilità di vivere bene” (Paolo Tella)
“Dalla qualità del costruire derivano sia la sicurezza in casa ed in città, che il risparmio per avere maggiori disponibilità economiche” (Paolo Tella)
Aggiungo Io:
Intelligenza lungimirante e dinamica genera progettualità socio-economica che genera valore aggiunto e quindi ricchezza che trasforma un territorio.
La logica che deve governare i processi e quindi la progettualità:
Learn, Unlearn, RE-Learn!
Mettersi in discussione di continuo…
Essere curiosi, condividere le proprie conoscenze perché è vero che “what goes around comes around”
Essere ORIGINALI ed avere IL CORAGGIO DI PROVARE, CERTI CHE SI COMMETTERANNO ERRORI: Quando ho iniziato a lavorare nell’87 nell’allora Selenia Spazio una collega delle camere pulite che mi ha spiegato come funzionava la fabbrica mi disse: chi lavora sbaglia!
Il networking dell’intelligenza è il futuro e noi dobbiamo progettare tutto ciò che ci circonda seguendo una logica di rete ed interazioni continue.
Il nostro nemico è lo status quo. Concludo il mio intervento con una storiella che ho sentito raccontare al nostro Sindaco Massimo Cialente in TV durante una recente intervista a proposito del festival dei due mondi di spoleto…
Giancarlo Menotti (a detta del Sindaco) approcciò l’allora amministrazione con l’idea di creare un festival MA l’amministrazione si oppose chiedendo:
Chi è quissu? Che vò? Chi ci sta dietro?
Lasciamoci alle spalle questo atteggiamento e guardiamo avanti – Grazie.
La BIT di Milano è un appuntamento importante per gli operatori del turismo ed il turismo rappresenta una risorsa importantissima per il nostro Paese. Oggi ho avuto il piacere di essere relatore nella sessione di lavoro Social Travel Evolution & Digital Tourism.
Il settore travel per me è da sempre un segmento importante del mio lavoro di consulente di web marketing: molta esperienza ed una conoscenza del settore e degli operatori sono gli ingredienti della presentazione che ha offerto uno spaccato della realtà e consigli utili per migliorare la propria performance online.
Quando ho pensato alla ricerca online per il settore turismo e viaggi mi sono venute alla mente 3 aspetti fondamentali che caratterizzano il settore:
- L’influenza che piattaforme di social media hanno nella scelta di una località, hotel o ristorante
- Una concorrenza fortissima
- Molto fai-da-te
A questi fattori va aggiunta la nuova veste che assume la connessione ad Internet: non più una modalità operativa digitale ma l’essere connessi sempre ed ovunque: dunque la rete come parte integrante della nostra quotidianità come l’energia elettrica, l’acqua corrente ed il gas. È naturale “chiedere” alla rete per ottenere delle informazioni.
Questa modalità di “sempre connessi” comincia la mattina presto con il cellulare che ci accompagna fino ad arrivare in ufficio dove il mobile cede il passo al computer dell’ufficio (Dekstop) che a sua volta si spegne a fine giornata lavorativa per riprendere il cellulare e concludere la serata davanti alla TV con il tablet.
Durante ogni momento del giorno ogni occasione è buona per avviare una ricerca che verrà ripresa a più intervalli fino ad arrivare ad una transazione su una qualunque delle piattaforme (mobile-desktop-tablet) a cui abbiamo appena fatto riferimento.
La Fruizione dei Contenuti
È prassi consolidata identificare una lista breve di nomi di strutture ricettive che vengono esaminate e valutate (particolare peso ed importanza viene attribuito alle foto di camere e bagni) – entra quindi in gioco il fattore prezzo che porta ad una seconda ed ultima ricerca (frenetica) del portale con il prezzo più basso e che ispira maggior fiducia – ho visto casi in cui utenti preferiscono prenotare dal grande portale e non da sito dell’albergo – problema che ho affrontato in un secondo momento della presentazione.
Distinguersi dalla massa
Il pericolo (divenuto realtà) per molte strutture ricettive e società di servizi nel settore turismo è l’omologazione dell’offerta, spesso indotta dal fenomeno di emulazione del prossimo:
“se lo fanno loro ci deve essere un motivo – lo facciamo anche noi”
È spesso il ragionamento alla base di processi decisionali a favore o a discapito di scelte importanti…
Distinguersi non solo è strategico ma anche essenziale per combattere l’effetto omologazione che porta il confronto sul prezzo. Bisogna sviluppare una propria impronta digitale.
Bisogna avere inventiva, intuito e fantasia per parlare di se!
Creare il Blog Ideale integrato con i Social MediaSante J. Achille
Conviene ancora oggi fare un blog oppure affidare interamente la propria comunicazione sociale alle piattaforme più utilizzate del momento? È stato questo l'argomento della mia presentazione delle slides - la seconda presentazione del secondo giorno di SMX Milano l'8 novembre 2013.
I blog soffrono un momento di stanchezza per via della popolarità e della frequenza di Facebook e Twitter, poi ci sono i Social della fotografia come Pinterest ed Instagram ... insomma una costellazione di piattaforme, tutte gratuite attraverso cui farsi notare e su cui lavorare senza doversi preoccupare dell'uso di un blog.
In realtà la testi che ho elaborato io durante la mia presentazione è in aperto contrasto con questa linea di pensiero e condotta perché ed il blog è ancora oggi uno strumento importante oltre che efficace per sviluppare una presenza online.
Tralasciando gli aspetti tecnici e tecnologici della piattaforma di wordpress, nella presentazione ho ricordato alcune delle vulnerabilità più importanti e diffuse che oggi affliggono blog e cioè la mancanza di una manutenzione programmata e l'uso indiscriminato di plugin in quanto gratuiti.
Molti ho scoperto non conoscono i framework per wordpress che sono potenti strumenti di lavoro (ho parlato di Thesis e Genesis - i due framework più utilizzati oggi).
Quello che conta di più oggi è che un blog deve essere la voce del'azienda o dell'individuo che lo cura: il ragionamento è che nel mio blog sviluppo la comunicazione e poi esco e promuovo ciò che ho da dire nei vari Social media e ci sono dei plugin che permettono di pubblicare in maniera automatica ciò che scrivo nel blog e quindi non devo perdere tempo a pubblicare manualmente su ogni Social che voglio presidiare.
In sostanza faccio perno intorno al mio blog su cui ho il controllo assoluto per poi uscire sui Social media per sviluppare/monitorare una conversazione.
Nel web semantico le conversazioni ed i contenuti sviluppati dagli autori saranno estremamente importanti ai fini della visibilità nei motori di ricerca - il blog deve essere una parte centrale di tutto ciò.
La sfida è quella di far capire in azienda questo concetto e questo cambiamento che è in atto: dalla platea sono arrivate domande su come poter gestire e combattere il calo delle visite che sembra diffuso e in qualche caso inarrestabile - la risposta è che non c'è modo se non attraverso una strategia di ottimizzazione spinta del sito/blog per generare traffico di qualità: in futuro non si deve cercar di avere più traffico ma un traffico migliore, che cioè converte, che acquista che interagisce, ma questo ragionamento agli editori non va giù.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

6. Takeaway from this introduction
Data Science Terminology
•N-Gram: an n-gram is a contiguous sequence of
“n” items from a given sample of text or speech
(for example in a sentence). [read: Keyword]
•TF-IDF: short for term frequency–inverse
document frequency, is a numerical statistic
that is intended to reflect how important a
(key)word is to a document in a collection or
corpus of documents.
7. So much for the science, what is
this “Distilled NLP”??
8. Distilled NLP
•Study your vertical: which pages are ranking
with your search intent?
•Identify affinities: Which Topics are they
covering? How are those topics combined
on the top ranking pages?
•Analyse & Optimise your Content
19. Takeaway from this presentation
•Distilled NLP is a procedure to identify
and use common concepts in a topically
related cluster of pages (SERPs, Majestic
Site Explorer/Link Graph) to optimise your
content and target user intent, by creating
prominent clusters of closely related
(search) terms
