Whats the best Keyword Ratio for density

How Important and what ratio should Keyword Density Be for a page per site? Just asking im figuring out the density for a massage website

I mean 18% per word or 30 to 40 for the main phrase?? my target is certified massage therapy on Kauai for the site KauaiMassages.com ...also when ever I change the title do Have to tweaks it contents??? to match the Titles

 

Keyword Density is not so important to get rank in SERPS. Concentrate on getting quality links on your site.

 

I begg to differ over the years I never used it... most top seo use density charts

 

There is no magic number for keyword density. It is best to create keyword-rich content, which is legible to users, first and foremost. If it doesn't read 'naturally', it may be seen as keyword stuffing. Use fluid verbiage, utilizing your keywords and keyphrases.

Additionally, if you are creating new titles (most important on-page element), you should re-create the content to mirror or match it. You should try to use the keyphrase or keyphrases of your title in your body text at least once; and using them in your site's description tag won't hurt either. A good, relevant description will draw users in when your site is found in search results!

I agree with you about backlinks. I have first-page Google results with web sites that show zero backlinks in Google. I have never employed the use of backlinks (only minimally). In my experience, I have had better results with relevant, original, keyword-rich content. Build, build, build your content. You cannot go wrong doing that!

Good luck!

 

The acceptable range seems to be some where between 2-15%. I would just write normal on your subject and topic and it should be within those ranges.

 

I usually go for 3 - 5% depending on how much text overall is on the page

 

The starting point is between the SERP#1 and SERP #10's density. To have a fixed 18% will put you under in some scenario and way over in others.

You must match your compteitors for the keyword phrase. And then beat them with better "text to code" ratio % and the number of Quality links. This is assuming that the On-Page SEO is solid.

 

I guess the facts about keyword density and excellent content focusing on search engine optimization Web copy has had a fierce configuration . I would love to admit that I write pretty good content for web copy, so so nice........

Using density seems like I should best be using meta-phrasing key phrases to target the niche in the title of a webpage. When it comes to common nature writing is very excellent web copy is certain product order situation that requires excellent writing skills, I use twitter.com Digg.com and google.com to find niche blogs that are doing well on the Serps.

I guess the ratio for keyword density and the percentage of web copy seems as if it is diminished by a lot of copywriters doing web design. Keyword density and meta-tag better phrasing has now been focused by many writers such as Time magazine Forbes magazine sports magazine and many other top and famous magazine copies.

I once imagined myself as a really good writer, but I haven't reached the ultimatum, maybe by reading more magazines a person could enhance writing skills.

as far as managing websites and writing excellent content keyword metadata better phrasing I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to target excellent web copy on the web so were all in the same game together. I love to share my ideas with other interesting likely minded individuals that are encouraging and also web copywriters.

 

Normally i am using 4 to 6 %.

 

I usually go 3%-6%

 

I ignore keyword density. Instead, I focus on providing value to the people who read my content. The only areas I'll concentrate on keyword density are the page title (<title></title> tags), headings (H1-H6), anchor text, and both alt="" and title="" tag attribute values - and then I'll make sure they're as high as possible while still being readable and making sense to the average reader.

If you're still paranoid about keyword density in your page copy, print up a page from your Web site, hand it to a friend of yours, and ask them to read it. If they tell you it was written for the search engines and that they'd punch you in the face if you weren't their friend, chances are nearly 100% that your "density" is too high.

 

Keyword i used 3 to 7%

 

i agree. dont take care of it.

 

And what do you base your opinion on, Sarah? Seriously, I'd like to know.

 

it is good to have keyword density ratio between 2% to 8%.

 

Again, what makes you say that? What are you basing your decision that there must be a certain keyword density range on?

 

I thought alt tags weren't picked up by spiders.

Can anyone confirm this?

 

Yes, they do. I have been optimizing images and links using alt tags for years now. I was advised to do it by a true pioneer of the SEO world about 7 years ago.

I can also confirm this per Google. See the link to the Google Webmaster blog below.

I think that google is becoming more restrict about keyword density. For my keywords, for instance, MONOGRAFIA and MONOGRAFIAS, I realize that a ratio of 9%, as are my websites presenting at the moment, and that used to rank very well (#4, #3, #6) are now loosing positions. All my competitors present lower rates, 5% and even 3%.

Anyone noticing this also?

 

Folks, don't worry about keyword density. How many times do I have to try and bust this myth? Just focus on writing for the people who will use your Web site, making sure you use the keywords you have selected appropriately.
