In many ways the SEO community for the most part has only embraced the “semantic web” in their search engine optimization implementation in the last 2 years. To date the tools used by SEOs for implementing schema, entity and concept/topic discovery have been one dimensional and too often writing poorly written code into your page. If there is a tool that emulates Google’s NLP and analysis of a keyword corpus I have not seen it! That changed a few weeks ago when I came across InLinks [https://www.inlinks.net] a new tool by Dixon Jones of Majestic SEO fame. Dixon shared some insights into inlinks.net new tool, the semantic web, Majestic SEO and in a one hour interview with Bill and Terry.
