Hi all,

My view on keyword density

Keyword density is a tricky thing. There is no absolute figure for choosing the right keyword density. I use a guide of about 5% then adjust accordingly. What's an acceptable percentage of keywords for one thing may not be the same as another topic. I would say the best guide is to use a keyword density tool and check the top 10 websites to find out the keyword density of each site. I've found in the past that my pages had too high a keyword density at 5-6% and dropping them slightly had a big positive impact on my organic listings.

I want to know your opinion on keyword density. Please give your feed back.

Keyword Density is still important but no where as
important as it used to be. As a general rule you should mention your
keyword early and often, then a few times through the body of the text
and then once again near the end. About 2% (1-3%) keyword density is
a good figure to aim for. If you just write around your topic or key phrase
normally you should get pretty close to this figure. The idea is for it to
read normally or naturally. You should be creating content for your visitors, Not the search engines, by doing this funnily enough you will be rewarded well by the search engines.

The last thing you want is keyword stuffed text, otherwise you run the risk of being penalized for a too higher keyword density.

Keyword Density is the measurement of how frequently any given keyword appears within a web page. Too high a density can result in a web page being classified as spam while too low a density will cause a page to not be indexed as well for the given keyword.

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a web page compared to the total number of words on the page. In the context of search engine optimization keyword density can be used as a factor in determining whether a web page is relevant to a specified keyword or keyword phrase.

I think so we should not use exact keyword density because search engines bots can tackle us for this and gives us not rank.... Smile

Keyword Density is a process which checks the percentage of the particular keywords or the phrase on the web page as compare to all other keywords in the same web page.From which you will get the idea that how the page is related with the particular keyword.
