I recently had a client ask me about MASK marketing for keyword searches. Not familiar with the term, I did some research and found a Fortune article that said the following:


Many companies miss out on sales because they limit themselves to using thousands of keywords in their search engine marketing (SEM). You’ll get the best results if you use a new automated technology called MASK, an acronym for massive array of structured keywords. It employs millions, rather than thousands, of keywords. The method was developed by Gauss & Neumann, an SEM research lab staffed by Ph.D.s. For one big airline client that used it, says CEO and co-founder Alberto Cabezas-Castellanos, “sales went up 53% in one year.”


The only information I can find is from the company that the Fortune article cites.

My questions:


What is this?
Is this just some proprietary software/system that is exclusive to this one company?


I am attempting to find out if this is something I need to learn about or ?

In short, they make each word on the web page, which is meaningful for the page's subject, to machine readable keyword, make it to structured data. Then they enrich each structurized keyword with its meanings, synonyms and translations. Then they exclude negative keywords, which could be similar to positive, but should never be associated with the page's subject. The goals are:


to provide for any page the biggest possible structurized keywords set
to make the meaning of the website machine readable
to provide as more as possible machine readable connotations
This all is done to make a page rank to as more as possible keywords.
