Entities and SEO

How do you find the correct words (entities) to explain an entity ?
The words (entities) that go together within a sentence seem to be based on the specific corpus (the keyword you want to rank ) and when they are million of results it seems impossible to find what word / entity is going to explain the entity / concept I want to explain.
It seems that I got a better chance at the lottery a
Do you have any advice or software that could parse and find the words that co-occure the most often out of millions of results !!Thank you,

Good to know I am thinking along the right lines The only thing I don't understand is what you mean by "The corpus isn't the keyword though, it's the body of text which you check the keyword against".
My idea of for example is to take the word / entity "Petite France" and explain google which one I am talking about (as a human I am limited I only know of one but google has such a database that it knows many and unless I explain it, it doesn't know which one I am talking about, is that correct ?
For google Petite France (according to Wikidata is a cheese is South Africa as well as area in Strasbourg (which is the one I want to talk about) etc... My question is how do explain the Petite France in Strasbourg, is is by using the word district nearby that entity... or if the word district isn't used in the corpus by the people that rank on the keyword I am going after it won't work ?
Is that the idea ?
Thank you,

You're thinking along the right lines, especially focusing on corpus-based co-occurrences between words. The corpus isn't the keyword though, it's the body of text which you check the keyword against (and it has to be substantial to be accurate, in the Gigabyte range). I don't know of any pre-built software to assist you. You would have to develop scripting knowledge

How do I optimize dynamic content for SEO?
Hello, folks! I'm wondering how I optimize a site if it is built on a platform that works based on dynamic content. For example, the page pulls in certain information based on the information it has about the user. Not every user will see the same page. Thanks!

Outbrain Select SEO Implications
A member of our marketing team wants to use Outbrain Select to curate content to augment the original content we have on our site. http://www.outbrain.com/select/how This content would be taken from other pages on the site and shown through as though it is on our site through javascipt. Obviously this page would be setup as a no-index. This seems to me like something Google would frown on. Does anyone know the SEO implications behind using a tool like this? I'm concerned google will see links to a blank page no-index page and find it suspect.

SEO Company that bills on results?
After having bad experiences with a few seo and ppc companies, I would like to find a company that operates on the premise that they should get paid for producing results instead just for signing a contract. I'm not thinking that any payment is contingent results but that a large portion of the billing is. I also know that it can take several months to get to an seo goal so I'm not taking a "you have one month to fix our site or we don't pay" approach. Is there a company out there that has enough confidence in their white-hat processes that they actually back their services with some sort of guarantee?

SEO Strategy for Microsite
I am working on a project to build a microsite of sorts that will represent a joint program between two large organizations with established web presences and strong domains. Each of the organizations has dedicated sections on their sites speaking to the program, but the leadership has decided the joint program deserves it's own site with dedicated content. The two larger sites perform very well for SEO, and I don't necessarily want to jeopordize thir rankings by delivering content that competes directly with them. So I am doing some keyword research to find some opportunities that will alllow me to use the new site to target keywords not yet being captialized by the larger sites. My grand scheme is to have the three sites targeting the broadest array of keywords possible, thus maximizing exposure and avoiding competition. Here is the rub: the content between the three sites will be different but very similar, and there will be plenty of cross linking, especially from the existing sites to the new site, as we grow the brand of the joint program. I'm curious to here some expert opinions on what the puitfalls of the strategy are and what are some of the things I can do to avoid falling in the black hat category - I recognize that proliferating sites around a single topic and cross linking them is black hat. The organizations simply want to build a brand around a joint program and we are striggling to do that without a dedicated website.

Google Plus Links - Good for SEO?
I created a link on my Google Plus page under the recommended links with the relevant anchor text and url. It turns out that this is a do-follow link from a webpage with a Page Rank of 8. Is this just too good to be true or have Google genuinely missed something?
