    Keyword density is the ratio of keywords used in whole content and it informs search engine about the page. It should be 3 to 5 percent.

    Keyword density is not a usable metric. Write site content for your visitors and not google or you will be screwed. Its that simple.

    Keyword density is the measure of the relative frequency of the word in the text expressed as a percentage. This is one of the major factor that Google Crawler takes into an account while ranking the pages in the search engine pages.
    Search engine crawlers limit the use of keyword density between 3 to 5%..

    2% of a web page's words should be the target keywords.

    at first you must write tet for people, not for google bots. but if you can raise keyword density try not to overstate 5% of all the text on the page

    keyword density is nothing but the using unwanted words, or else same keyword repetition.

    keyword density in not much affective today as it was before. Try to use user friendly content instead to search engine friendly content. just add your target keyword 3 to 4 times in 500 words. This will work. try it.

    It should be 3-4%. Do not try to repeat the keywords unnecessarily. It should have a natural flow and good sort of information for visitors.

    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. Many SEO experts consider the optimum keyword density to be 1 to 3 percent

    Keywords Density means how many keywords are present on Content. Its Differs from Niche to Niche, Recommended keywords density in my Opinion should be 3% to 5%.

    From my point of view it should be around 5% to 7% to get instant result. And also link all the pages internally for better optimization.

    keyword density is a ration of keywords on the page content ...as per my exprience 3% to 4% density is enough..but do not prefer to use keywords at unwanted place to just reach density.
