    You're saying using a higher keyword density is BH? No... it definitely doesn't help SEO so its not BH. Let me give you some honest advice, 3-5% is optimal but don't worry about it too much. Google's latest updates changed a lot of what influences your keyword ranking.

    Keyword density refers to how much you've used your target keyword/s in an article/page. This is important in SEO because this helps you keep in mind how many times you can use your keywords within the article. I usually recommend a keyword density of about 1 to 4% in a 400-600 word article. Going beyond the 4% would render your article unreadable, with too much of the same words in it for it to make sense.

    The keyword is the word or phrase which most refers to your product; which is the word a customer will use when he searches for your product. Keyword Density just means what percentage of your content consists of your target keywords.

    Keyword density is the percentage if the occurrence of your keyword in the content.

    A lot people say that 3-8% is the optimal keyword density...

    But I think, you should focus more on organic placement of the keyword. At times your content demands high keyword occurrence, In such cases you should ignore keyword density.

    The other option is to use LSI keywords instead of main keyword.

    After you understood what other said use some free tool like http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword-density/ to see how it looks when you analyze some page (or your page) with tool that splits into 'words' density and 'phrase' density, so I suppose that then you will get clear picture

    in the content, Keyword density is a combination of the number of times a keyword or a keyword phrase, in proportion with other words use in that page .
