    keyword density is combination of number of times keywords or keyword phrase which is used in your article or press releases. generally, keyword density should be 3%-4% in articles.

    A much lower keyword density is safer now. Google has targeted over-optimisation already for a while, but is going to more so soon (if it hasn't already implemented its "Mom and Pops"). Aim for 2% at the most, or 2-3 times for the keyword. Doing it by density now is a bit harder.

    (# Words in Keyword * Occurrences on Page / Article Body Word Length) * 100 = Keyword Denisty

    For example, "hello world" in an article of 500 words length:

    (2*3/500)*100 = 1.20

    So the keyword density would be 1.2%.

    Keyword density is how many times a certain keyword appears in an article/page. The usual safe percentage that most people follow would be 1.5 - 2.5 % .

    Keyword density is a measure defined as the percentage of number of times a keyword appear on a website page as compared to total number of words on that web page. This percentage should vary between 1 to 3%.

    Keyword density refers to the percentage of times keywords are used within the total index able words on a Web page. For example, if a keyword occurs five times on a Web page with which has a total no of 100 words, then the keyword density is 5 percent.

    Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a web page compared to the total number of words on the page. In the context of search engine optimization keyword density can be used as a factor in determining whether a web page is relevant to a specified keyword or keyword phrase.

    Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or keyword phrase is found in your page content amidst all the other content. For example, if you have a Web page with exactly 100 words on it including all headlines, captions, alt text, and advertising, and you have a keyword phrase that is on the page 3 times, your keyword density is 3%.
