Keyword density

What should be the average keyword density for a page from the SEO point of view?

 

I think, it should be 3-5 %.

 

3 to 3.5% is optimal. Make sure your readers do not feel bored because of the repetitive text.

 

should be less than 8% and more than 3%

 

As with many of the other density topics on here, it is important not to focus too closely on density, but to write relevant content that will appeal to your readers.

 

you can take less than 20% & more than 3% is correct keyword density.

 

This is for Yahoo. Coming to Google, if you use 3 - 8% you will be penalized by Google.

You can use keyword density of 3-5% for all search engines. Best usage is 3.5-4%.

 

No such thing as keyword density.

Google is looking for content that is relevant and natural, there is no "if you mention it as more than 8% of total text we will ban you" bit in their algorithm.

Most SEO's of merit seem to say nowadays that you only need to mention your key term around once every 100 words. Google has got a lot better at spotting natural text that is on topic through its associative words and terms capability, so you really do not need to worry about keyword density. Just write naturally and make sure its on topic - Google will associate it with the keyterms anyway.

 

I complete agree with him, it should be 3% to 5%.

 

I suggest 3% as optimum. But keep your content good and quality. Create your webpage for users and not for keywords.

 

THe avg keyword density lies between 2% to 8% but the mani stuff is content.

 

2% is best keyword density i suppose.

 

is have good results with 2.848%

 

what is the keyword density limit

 

Hello,
Do not worry about keyword density, analize your competitors, for example if you want to rank "red cards", take a look the first 10 possitions in Google/Yahoo or bing, and then check out the keyword density, work on every keyword that you want to rank, in many cases the keyword density is 20% and in another one has 1%.

My 2 cents,
Jakomo

 

Well, average keyword density lies in between 3% to 10%.

 

oh 2%

good good

 

Sometimes I think people can think too much about SEO. If you simply write a natural page about a single topic or closely related group of topics, Google is going to know what the page is about. The solution is to not worry about density and just write the content as if you really wanted people to like it

 

I'll suggest it 2% to 7% for your major keywords. your content should be natural then if density doesn't matter. Nowadays more people check the LSI.

 

3%~5% is the best density, I use this and by site ranking well.
