    Does having more of your target keyword splattered throughout your site (besides on the home page) important when trying to beat the competition?

    Yes having a decent keyword density is an important SEO factor. Make sure your content is relevant and includes your target keywords/key phrases throughout the site. But make sure you don't spam your page with the keyword ;)

    Using your keywords definitely will help but don't overdo it, SEs will easily discover if you are keyword stuffing or spamming. And if you are in doubt, put content useful to your readers and not for SEs.

    You should take care not to overdo keyword splattering across the web page. If the 'keyword density' factor is very high then the search engines will count it as spam.

    KEYWORD DENSITY IS NOT PART OF THE GOOGLE ALGORITHM...

    Keyword stuffing will hurt you, but keyword density is not a determining factor. More importantly, focus on the anchor text of your backlinks, make those links that are pointing to your site reflect the targeted keywords of the page. Like I've said a million times, onsite SEO is important, but it's only about 5% of the entire SEO equation.

    I question the 5% figure for onsite SEO in importance. Case in point are sites that rank high in serps despite having few links (ie posts/sites that are placed with no purpose other than to provide info).

    I second that.

    Maybe you have downloaded too many SEO books from 2005.

    not really.try to optimize each page of your site with 2 or 3 keywords and keyword density should be about 5%
