How many times should you repeat a keyword in say every 100 words?I heard repeating a keyword too many times can actually have a bad affect (spamming).
too much isnt good. i would limit it to 5%. write the content naturally first, then modify it little bit for SEO.
Some say it's 2-3%. Synonyms and related words are also important. By related I meant If you are talking about a car then probably in your article it should have words like speed/model/mileage for example.
It should be GREATER than 2% but don't overdo it and make it obvious to your visitors what you're trying to accomplish.
As mentioned above, 2 -4 % will be the safe one. However use the keywords appropriately ( i.e ) where it is needed
Remember you also need to take into accounts other text on your page such as blogroll, navigation, arbitrary text etc to get the true value of keyword density for a particular page, which no body really knows the answer btw
Hi, In my suggestion, Keyword Density should be 2-4%. Keyword density (SEO) (%) is the percentage of times a keyword or key phrase appears on a web page in comparison with the total number of words on the page. I think Yes, it is right that, Using a keyword more than that could be considered search spam.
Any page must have content more then 300 words. according to google keywords density not more then 2-3%. and keywords must have sufficient separation with each other
Bottom line is that there has no limitations on the ideal keyword density is up to 5% on the site, particularly because search engines often change their algorithms.So I also agree with the above member over here that 3-5% density is the appropriate one.Almost all search engines are liberal up to 5% density.
