    Nowadays, keyword density doesn't matter much. Years ago maybe! There are many pages with low keyword density that rank very well on SERPs.

    Keyword density is a combination of the number of times a keyword or a keyword phrase, in proportion with other words, appears on a Web page. The more times the keyword appears in relation to the total number of on page words, the greater the overall keyword density.

    Let's assume you have used a keyword 10 times on your page. To calculate the keyword density - take that figure and divide it by the total number of words on your page. So in this case 10 divided by 250 = .04

    Keyword density is always referred to as a percentage of the total word count for the page. So now you need to multiply .04 by 100 to get the percentage figure.

    Your calculation would look like this;

    .04 x 100 = 4%

    The page has a keyword density of 4%.

    Long term, you really should focus on writing natural-looking text. Unnatural text, text which a human can see is spammy, will eventually be filtered out one way or another.

    Just make the article a good read, make it about the keyword and that's the best SEO, long term.

    That is a very low amount! I would recommend at least double figures.

    All depends on whether you are optimising purely for the SE or the users!

    The keyword density should be 2%-5%...

    Keyword density is made ​​some time ago, but the general guidelines of not more than 3-4%. It has enough time, but not too much. So three times, each 100 pages of text. Of course, this does not include synonyms of your keywords, which is shed in the natural fashion in the copy.

    Keyword density is important because search engines use this information to categorize a site's theme, and to determine which terms the site is relevant to. The perfect keyword density will help achieve higher search engine positions. 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”).

    But with those key terms you could and should be able to position on web the first page within per weeks time, to be reasonable, as they are simple key terms to position for. Try going for some key terms with affordable amount of searches and affordable competitive variety of internet sites and then see the change..

    Keyword density is a combination of the number of times a keyword or a keyword phrase, in proportion with other words, appears on a Web page. The more times the keyword appears in relation to the total number of on page words, the greater the overall keyword density. The more times that other words appear, the lower the proportion of keywords, resulting in a lighter keyword density.

    around 8% density is best remember to correct any spelling mistakes and check that all your content is relevant.
  13. How do you feel about keyword density it regards to posting articles to PR sites. Seem to get some problems with posting to some PR site when have only used keywords 4 or 5 times in a 400word article, which are quite relevant to the subject matter; also the articles do not contain a sales pitch.

    To get good results for your site try to use 2.5% keyword density else it could be harmful for your site.

  15. Why the varying opinion on keyword denstiy?
  16. karina7564 New Member

    Keyword density must be 2-3%. This ratio is best. Make your content approximate 100 words long and put your targeted keywords into your website content.
