Keyword Density

[werror]

How high is maximum keyword density please? I've been told 6-9% is ideal. Does this change if there is more text?

[Mark]

The percentage shouldn't change in relation to the amount of text - thats what a percentage is for!

I've read various figures for keyword density - usually 4-10%. But current thought seems to be that your overall content should be semantically coherent, so don't get hung up on keyword density.

Search Engines did state number of keywords and keyword density doesnt matter if done in right way. Make sure you do it for your users, what's best for users is best for Search ENgines too.

Keyword density needs to be balanced correctly (too low and you will not get the optimum benefit, too high and your page might get flagged for “keyword spamming”).

In my opinion keyword density is the number of times a particular phrase has been used on a page, and while most people would suggest that your phrases should be placed in your title, keyword tag, description tag, h1, h2, alt tags, title tags, url tags, and so many other areas that you can think of it only boils down to one thing.
