A screengrab of the Seo Taiji Archive, an online database on Seo and his music, which was launched at midnight Thursday by his fans

By Cho Chung-un The Korea Herald/Asia News Network Saturday, Mar 24, 2012

It's been 20 years since Seo Taiji & Boys released their first album "Nan Arayo." Seo's fans, just teenagers in 1992, continue to be loyal to the singer who seldom appears in public.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Seo's debut album, his fans came up with the idea of naming a Brazilian forest after the singer and launching an online database (www.seotaiji-archive.com)of every document and video about him and his music.

The Korea Herald interviewed Lee Jin-sook, a 34-year-old office worker who is an advisor to the Seo Taiji Archive Project, an e-library on Seo and his music.

The online archive is for Seo's fans to share news articles, radio interviews and photos. The website, which officially launched at midnight Thursday, will be a channel for accurate information and knowledge about the artist, the project team said.

The following is an except from an e-mail interview with Lee.

Q. What motivated you to do something innovative and creative in tribute to Seo? Where do you get the energy?

A. I get the energy definitely from Seo Taiji as an artist and his music. It has been 20 years since he made his debut but his music still makes my heart beat as ever and Seo continues to be our role model. Seo Taiji fandom, too, underwent a series of changes over the last 20 years, and that is what still motivates us to look forward to his music and him as a true artist.

Q. How many of you are participating in the project? Are you members of one of his fan clubs? Why does the group stay mostly anonymous?

DALLAS, March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Business owners in Dallas may be able to take advantage of free SEO Consulting to help improve their Internet presence. Teksapiens LLC, a leading Dallas SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and web design firm, announced today that it was offering free SEO consulting to businesses who signed up at DallasBestSEO.com. This provides Dallas businesses a direct push to outperform the rest of the businesses in the nation when it comes to profitability ratios. Better online visibility means more customers, therefore more revenue. SEO consulting is not new. However, the way Teksapiens LLC does it certainly is. Dallas SEO companies are among the best in the world and Teksapiens LLC is the leader among them.

Start-ups are not the only group of companies who can benefit from SEO services. The free consulting that DallasBestSEO.com offers can also benefit businesses that have been established for years, but now are facing threats to their profitability from a constant flow of competitors. Perhaps these companies have a website already, but it was built using older technology and SEO was never implemented. The results are a website in cyberspace, but not really creating any profits for the company. A free SEO consultation can show these companies how to turn that "dead" website into a useful tool for boosting revenue.

Dallas businesses will find SEO consulting from Teksapiens LLC invaluable. It could even prevent them from making very costly SEO mistakes. Using the wrong SEO techniques could actually hurt business and cause lasting harm to any future Internet marketing efforts. Having professional SEO performed on their behalf is vital for the effectiveness and permanence of the search engine rankings. Otherwise, if SEO is not properly done, the website could be banned by the Search Engines entirely.

Teksapiens LLC has been a leading Dallas SEO company for the past 6 years. Many businesses have benefited from their Internet marketing services. In addition to SEO consulting, Teksapiens LLC offers web design services with strong SEO foundation for businesses in Dallas Texas. For more information visit DallasBestSEO.com.

While the SEO game has changed drastically over the past months, one thing has remained fairly consistent: Its been driven by keywords -- keywords in your URL structure, your META tagging, your content, your links. Whatever way you slice it, keywords are everywhere in SEO.

Even among Googles most recent algorithm updates -- Panda, Search Plus Your World and Venice, to name a few -- keywords remained relatively unscathed. But the upcoming update to move Google to semantic search technology, according to top Google Search executive Amit Singhal, is adding a whole new element to the game: the human element.

Semantic search uses artificial intelligence in order to understand the searchers intent and the meaning of the query rather than parsing through keywords like a dictionary. When you search now, Google gives you results based solely on the text and the keywords that you put in that search. Essentially, Google gives you its best guess.

When you use semantic search, Google will dive into the relationship between those words, how they work together, and attempt to understand what those words mean. Google will understand that their and theyre has two different meanings and when New and York are placed together, it changes the meaning.

Semantic search isnt a new concept. As early as 2008, search engines were popping up that focus on natural language over keywords. But were really only taking notice now because of Google. And Google is really only taking notice because of Siri and Googles response to Siri, Google Assistant, which will be out on Android devices later this year.

The support system of this semantic search will be Googles Knowledge Graph, a conglomerate of information aimed to answer possible queries that people will be searching for. Not only will Google understand what is being searched, Knowledge Graph will aim to give you more contextual information about it, not just a list of 10 other websites that could answer that question for you.

Keywords are easy to manipulate; intent, not so much. In order to rank well in semantic search, you dont just have to put your keywords in the right places, you have to figure out the actual meaning behind those keywords and create content around that specifically. That puts more emphasis on your keyword research.
