Greetings, My client has recently given me a list of keywords he would like distributed throughout his website. I have been using the meta tag anaylzer on www.submitexpress.com to get the keyword relevancy close to 100% for my client's pages. We are wondering at what point is this considered keyword stuffing? I told him I thought this was when the keyword density for a specific keyword is greater than 6-8%. I thought I read somewhere on google that when a webpage is keyword stuffed, it hardly makes sense to humans. Could somebody please glance over a few webpages I have done for him and just let me know if I am doing this correctly, so his site will not get banned? http://www.realestate-holland.com http://www.realestate-holland.com/aboutUs.cfm http://www.realestate-holland.com/sellers.cfm http://www.realestate-holland.com/areaInfo.cfm Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide us with, as it is always great improving our seo skills.

i think when you really start to notice keywords in the text you are either at the point or gone to far with the keyword. the website should first and foremost be for the visitor not the search engine. I have heard that 3-5% is a good keyword density.
Hello again, I was just wondering something. When people talk about keyword density, are they referring to individual words or the keyword phrases? For instance, if we have similar keywords like: holland michigan real estate zeeland michigan real estate michigan real estate Doesnt the "michigan real estate" count towards the first two? I am not understanding this completely. Could somebody clarify this for me? Is there any SEO tools out there where you can put in a keyword phrase (4 words or less) and it will tell you the density? I only see tools for individual words. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Travis Walters
http://www.widexl.com/remote/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html I use this tool for meta tag relevance and keyword density. I had success with website with my main three keywords with 7.5%, 5.5% and 4% respectively. Also, Even if I have good keyword density I tried not to repeat the same word in the same sentence. It's all about logic. When it is not pleasant to read, it's keyword stuffing to me.
Greetings, I just wanted to thank everyone for their great input. The SEO tools really helped and I think I am understanding keyword density a little better. Thanks again! Sincerely, Travis Walters
SEO experts have different opinions about keyword density. e.g Expert A: 1-3% Expert B: 3-7% Expert C: 2-5% Which do you must follow?
I agree above by far articles, blogs and ping backs plus book marking work really well as a seo strategy
Hey there, Sorry for the delay. I have been super busy. Enjoy your better reputation Thanks again for the help! Sincerely, Travis Walters
Make it seem natural. Your readers are not fools, and won't like it if you deliberately keep repeating a search phrase.
Search Google for "wedding favors". "my wedding favors .com" site comes up #1 in Google. Look up the density of "wedding favors" on that site. It's 12%. It's obviously not hurting it if it's #1 in Google and there plenty of competition for that keyword.

here's something that came up... what happens if you have a site that sells DVDs - and one page has a listing of 25 DVDs. Each one has a link that says "Buy this DVD". Say the density of "buy this dvd" is like 25%. Do you get penalized for that? It's obviously not an attempt to be #1 for that search phrase. I just want to know how subjective this is. If the above example will penalize you, is there any way to omit search engines from spidering that link, and even so, do you still get a penalty for it?
If you want to go with Key word density then keyworddensity.com is provide you good review. If u would find 5 to 7% density then it's very good stuff.
