Content Optimization

Include keywords in text

You should make sure that all those keywords you have included in your meta tags and on which searches you wish to come up are included in the text of your site.

Consider 5-20% density of the keywords in text

You should make sure that about 5% to 20% of your text is keywords. Be careful not to overcrowd your text with keywords cause you might get penalized. Note that you should have the most important keyword(s) in the beginning of the page as thus they are given more weight.

Mind the formatting of the text

Formatting (bolding, titles, etc.) is also important to show the search engines that certain words are more important than others. Thus, if you bold your keywords in your text, they are perceived as more important than other words and thus your text becomes more relevant to these keywords.

Add regularly relevant content to site

You should make sure that you add relevant content to your website. This content addition invites Google to visit your site more often and increase its relevance and importance.

don't you think saby 5-20% K.D is a very vast range... I haven't heard this range earlier. As per my research it should range between 3-5% in the text part

 

Yes, that's correct. 5 to 20% is lot more.. It should be around 2 to 4%.. Nothing more than that

 

I think that generally are about 3% to 5%, so more would let theengine that is cheating!

 

Inline linking also important in content optimization.

 

Can you share how many words in a web page is best? i use as many as 3000 in some of my websites ---- some say no more the 1000K is that true???

 

I think upto 500 word content is okay, more than 500 would sound like an article.

 

Keyword density must be 3% to 7% in the page.....

 

Content optimization is a very important aspect in promoting Web. Well optimized content always leads to the first site in search engines. While optimizing your content does not insert keywords that can turn both the spam. Always at your content should be similar informative and focused.

 

Don't you think is called keyword stuffing. Keyword density should be in between 3-5%, is SEO friendly..

 

I think using 5-20% density of the keywords in text is itself keyword stuffing .You should either go for LSI and long tail keywords in order to drive more traffic. Write content for users and not search engines .

 

In content optimization you can create anchor text which will point to other page of your website but keyword should be relevant to page. You can also use Header tags H1 ..H6. Keyword density per page should not more than 5%. You can use 500-750 words per page for your website.

 

Thanks for the info, however I disagree with the keyword density. Around 3% is perfect.

 

For your major keywords, the optimal density should be about 3-7% while minor keywords should have approximately 1-2%. Anything over the density of 10% is suspicious, can be taken as keyword stuffing and penalised. Your articles should look naturally written.

 

raxe Exactly how many word per page for seo pourposes?????

 

Any more than 4% will look like spam really. Each page should be less than 600 words really, split em up if your articles are any bigger than this, otherwise people on mobile devices may get a little impatient or it may not even load at all.
Its all just common sense really, if it looks good to a reader then the search engine won't see it as spammy shite.

 

dddouga ---- thanks for the seo optimized content word per word help - mobile is taking over the net slowly - although i seem nay company owners that do not even have android phones

 

I still would say 3-7%. If you make good use of headings, divide your content into logical paragraphs with sub-headings, make good use of alt text for images, use lists to promote headings you should end up having about 3-7% of naturally written text without keyword spamming.

Longer articles will have less keyword density, but it is perfectly fine. Keep in mind you write for humans, not for robots. There is no ideal amount of text for a web page. It all depends on the topic. I agree with dddougal, if you reach 600 it's definitely time to split it (blogs can be longer). Make good use of images as long blocks of pure text are hard to read.

 

I have found that my site ranks better with 2% keyword density with the keyword used twice in the first paragraph and once in the last paragraph, using strong tags and also putting the keyword in the ALT text for one of the images - this seems to work quite well on pages around 300-500 words especially for long-tail keyphrases. Hope this info might help!

 

Personally I've experienced great SEO results with creating longer (up to 600+ words) in the initial articles and pages of a site launch, but once the site is established and ranking (with PR), even shorter articles rank well and quickly.

I agree w/the KW density at no more than 5% (using LSI). I think H1, H2 tags, plus bold, italics and underlining keywords is important. Finally, don't underestimate the importance of linking both within the article, within your site, and occasionally to an authority site. Excellent writing and content is always key.
