here http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Choosing...ive-Keyword-Choice-Strategy-and-Useful-Tools/ So, what are the most useful keywords for a site? Establish what keywords are most used in the context of the site content and theme. The SEO campaign begins at this point and does not need to be an arduous process. There is no set number of keywords that can be put forward here for driving traffic. If keyword density is to be utilized, a ball park figure can be derived by dividing the number of instances of the keyword by the total number of words in the content. Then multiply by a hundred to see the keyword density percentage. Safe figures fall between 10 - 15% and up to 25% but this is just a guideline and not a rigid rule.The point is that your keywords depend on your target audience's needs, and what keywords they will use to locate sites that will provide the information sought through a search on Yahoo or Google. i didnt got the part in red
It's about keyword density (i.e. how many times you should use a certain keyword in a text). It's recommending you to have a keyword density of between 10-25% but that you should also factor in what kind of audience you're trying to aim for and what keywords they will type in search engines to find you.
im confused of the way he mentioned about how to calculte the keyword density, is there a way to to know what is my percentage of keywords density? in the second page he said : Using whatever web design software is necessary, bold the words found or underline them and work out the keyword density for each for the top four or five keywords. what he mean by: work out the keyword density for each ?
Keyword density = number of times your keywords are used on a page / total number of words on a page. i.e. a keyword density of 10% would be 10 usages / 100 words.
Don't get too hung up on keyword density, but it is a good guide to see if your pages might be getting spammy. Here's a tip, if your page is about "Cars" go to Google and punch in Cars and see what keyword density the sites in the top 10 are using. Aim for somewhere around what they are using, then you will know you are using your keywords in a way that can obtain a good ranking.
thats right i just worried when i checked some pages on my site for keyword density and i found i have low density about 1 or 2% so i need to increase this inorder to have better ranking !
One of my pages has a fairly low keyword density yet dominates the SERP's for its keywords (ranging between 100,000 - 900,000 other results). It doesn't even have a pagerank yet. Don't worry about it.
