Keyword Denisty & Some Simple Steps to Check The Density

Keyword Density:

Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the web page. But mind you, keywords shouldn’t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places.

Simple steps to check the density:

1. Copy and paste the content from an individual web page into a word-processing software program like Word or Word Perfect.

2. Go to the ‘Edit’ menu and click ‘Select All’. Now go to the ‘Tools’ menu and select ‘Word Count’. Write down the total number of words in the page.

3. Now select the ‘Find’ function on the ‘Edit’ menu. Go to the ‘Replace’ tab and type in the keyword you want to find. ‘Replace’ that word with the same word, so you don’t change the text.

4. When you complete the replace function, the system will provide a count of the words you replaced. That gives the number of times you have used the keyword in that page.

5. Using the total word count for the page and the total number of keywords you can now calculate the keyword density.

Very useful, I often spend hours optimizing my keyword density... 7.498% seems to work perfect for me

 

SEO quake calculates keyword density as well - not sure how accurate it is though.

7.498% is a quite a precise figure

 

very usefull more than anything else we do job review..

 

There's a much easier way to check - LOOK AT YOUR PAGE.
If it looks and reads naturally, it'll be fine. If it looks spammy, it is.
