Keyword density - The measure of how many times a keyword is repeated compared to the overall content of a web page. If a keyword was listed 5 times out of a word count of 50 the keyword density would be 10% And your right , you should reduce your keywords amount and try to target the ones you seem to get more sales with.
I agree with sandrodz. Keyword density is no longer an important factor for SEO. Focus your attention on other factors that do matter like good quality links.
Yes but I know that some other people are now chasing for LSI, which I think unnecessary. By the way, without running any keyword Density report, I can tell LED appears too many times. And ecctao should concentrate more on the actually content rather that the meta tags. Besides, the title tag is also problematic, even if we do not talk about SEO. It will be shown in search results and people will find the title very annoying. I will rather use something like "LED World - Manufacturer of LEDs for All Purposes" which is less annoying.
just include your target keywords the natural way and don't stick to the Keyword Density rules (or whatever you call it) since it has no big impact in SERPs ranking.. what matters most is how you present your site to visitors (as your priority) followed by SE spiders
Keyword density matters IMHO. Keyword density may not be an important factor or even taken on it's own as a factor but it matters. A page that's been keyword stuffed is an obvious attempt to spam and will probably get nailed with a 'content spam' penalty, so keyword density matters in the respect that you can have too many instances of your keyword although I would imagine placement has an influence. Google might think that a 100 word article which uses a certain phrase 30% of the time is just a badly written article and will leave it alone to suffer the natural death it deserves. But if that phrase also occurs in the title, meta tags, headings, alt descs, italic text, bold text, image file names, a link or two...... it's content spam penalty time. Therefore you should think about the percentage keyword density to make sure you're not over-optimising through placement or just writing piss poor content, next thing, you're working on keyword densities.
Some advice... Change your title. The TITLE tag needs to make sense, and should not just be stuffed with keywords. There is a way to include most of your keywords, make it readable, and make it so visitors will want to visit your website from the title.
Just a side note you can use the google toolbar highlight button and view how many times you keywords are being used and where. This helps me get a visual view of the keyword density on my site.
Well, try to find keyword density balance. It's important for SEO.Too low and you will not get the optimum benefit, too high and your page might get flagged for “keyword spammingâ€
I wouldn't concern yourself with keyword density at this point. The density factor is of the past for search engines. As long as you have lots of great relevant content that match's what your title and keywords as well as links pointing to your site say you will do fine.
