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 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.
