    Keyword density is a number of times a keyword or a keyword phrase, in proportion with other words appears on a Web page. The more times the keyword appears in relation to the total number of on page words the greater the overall keyword density.

    Yes, it's right.
    As I know, permissible keyword density is about 2-3% nowadays.

    Hi friends,

    Keyword density is a term of SEO that shows the percentage of a keyword or phrase on a Web page compared to the total number of words in the content of that page. If the keyword density is good, then you might get very good number of visitors from the Search Engines to your site.

    Thanks a lot

    Keyword Density is the using the same word or keyword in a single web page.Keywords Density is depends upon the total number of words for whole web page.K.D=total number of keywords/total words of a web page*100 is the best formula to calculate keyword density for a web page.

    The number of times a keyword or a keyword phrase occurs in a page is the density of the keyword of that pages for the corresponding keyword used. Now, the density is generally spoken to be about 2-3%, but I would rather lay more emphasis on looking forward to writing content more naturally rather than the content based on a number of requirements.

    The only thing you have to know is that keyword density is not a huge factor in SEO. So it's not that important.

    My tip is don't try to overdo it with keyword density... if the content doesn't look as you'd naturally speak it, then you may get penalized.. this came straight from Google. Also, I personally think that keyword density is a myth. If search engines see that you are talking about something, then they will put your content in the proper category... don't try to push it or else you WILL get penalized.

    Keyword density is a combination of the number of times a keyword or a keyword phrase, in proportion with other words, appears on a Web page. The more times the keyword appears in relation to the total number of on page words, the greater the overall keyword density.

    Yeah 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 5 times, your keyword density is 5%.

    C'mon, this has never been officially confirmed.

    I normally use an on page optimization tool to check the keyword density of top competitors for individual keywords. It often differs. For example, in a medical text it's OK to repeat terms a lot.

    I also think that keyword density as such is overrated, because a page stuffed with keywords often has close to 50% keyword density. So, whether you make it 1,5 or 4,5 percent, I don't think it'd make that much of a difference.
    But I like to know how many KWs are enough, that's why I check the competitors.

    Keyword density is not the issue, only keyword stuffing. These are very different things. Google's webmaster guidelines (and Penguin updates) are surely a clear signal that keyword stuffing is what they are tackling. (Unless you've been living under a rock and read about neither of them.)

    As an experiment, I made a new site and the home page had a two word key phrase. It was mentioned about 20 times, (obviously) the content was still human readable (i.e. it was high density, NOT stuffed, which is completely different). The site ranked at #7. Penguin came along and it still held at #7. I changed the keyword frequency (density) to be a lot lower (about five mentions) and it still held at #7. (You have to keep in mind that it had no links, or at the most 2-3 nofollow back links.)

    Interestingly, and unrelated to keyword density, since Panda 3.8 it is now at #4 and holding steady. Its rank is purely based on content alone (still only has 2-3 nofollow back links).

    In conclusion:
    Keyword density is just another silly obsession by webmasters, much like pagerank, content length and other myths perpetuated by "forum SEOs".
