What is Co-occurrence?
In natural language processing, co-occurrence refers to the frequency with which two or more words appear together within a corpus of text. It suggests a semantic relationship or association between the words.
Importance in SEO:
- Understanding Relationships: Helps search engines understand the relationships between words and their context.
- Keyword Relevance: Identifies relevant keywords and how they are related, aiding in keyword research and content creation.
Application:
Search engines may analyze co-occurrence in search queries and anchor texts to better understand topics and relationships between terms, although it does not directly affect search rankings.
