WHAT: TextDigger makes your Web pages more findable, both to outside search engines such as Google and to other pages within the same site via cross links and related search. The result is increased revenue from higher inbound traffic and longer sessions.
HOW: TextDigger’s technology reads the content of a Web page and automatically generates semantic tags. These tags go beyond simple keywords to reflect concepts and context–that is, what the words mean and how they are used. In turn, this richer indexing enables greater findability.
