Keyword Density in URL

    I wanted to know about the keyword density in URL and what Google thinks about it.

    Say if I have my main keyword : Keyword

    Now say my domain is: fillerword+keyword.com (e.g would be hellomoney.com if "money" is my main keyword and "hello" is my filler word)

    My main keyword is 2 words long and is pretty competitive. So let me take the example "personality development"

    Say my domain name is freepersonalitydevelopment.com

    I want to write an article about "keyword" advice. So my URL will look like

    freepersonalitydevelopment.com/personality-development-advice

    This obviously is very keyword dense. Will it look like spam? Or should I consider

    freepersonalitydevelopment.com/advice

    no, not spam, domain & URL (the rest expect domain name) are two factors separately

    I think the long url will not be considered as spam by the SE.

    I don't think it is considered as spam. Keyword stuffing is another concept that is discouraged by google and other search engines. SEs are ok with user friendly urls.
