Keyword density

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by visionwf, Aug 1, 2010.

    Just finished writing natural looking descriptions for all my products on a new site. I'm going to optimise them for the specific keywords and wondered what the best keyword/phrase density is? Does this density just include the body of the text or the URL, navigation menu, title, alt tags etc? Also does anyone have a good tool for checking keyword density? (I currently use http://www.keyworddensity.com)

    The best keyword describes the course is clear manifestation of the theme you want to express or convey information,
    Simple and easy to understand is the best.

    I think a keyword density of 1-2% is best.

    I'd say 2-5%. I would try to avoid going higher than this though.

    I usually go with 2-3 per 400 words - works for me!

    hi,

    you can calculate your keyword density by your own with
    repeats of the keyword / total number of words on the page * 100 = Keyword Density

    Absolutely, I know how to work it out manually but with 1,000s of pages it will be easier to use one of the tools thats out there

    there's no actual 'number'. Search engine algorithms change all the time. Claiming to have a 'magic number' is rather naive

    Keyword density of a web page should be 3-5% . Dont exceed the limit for better promotion of your site.

    Don't think there is any such keyword density number. Just ensure that the content reads natural when it is read. Don't stuff it with keywords just for the sake of keywords.
