    Keyword density is what % of the total number of words is your keyword.

    Example:

    "Today I wrote article article article" (not good one but what the heck) - there are total of 6 words, 3 of them are article (our keyword) so 50% keyword density.

    The best recommended keyword density is 2-3% (max 4% but you are pushing it for getting it as keyword stuffing). <onpage SEO>

    That is a great description. I have always followed that same rule of % limit on page as well as any article submissions.

    Google for SEO keyword density tool. The SEO chat tool that comes up is very good and also provides a nice description.

    Nice posting

    Keywords Density is number of keywords divided by total number of words...

    Hello,
    Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a web page compared to the total number of words on the page.

    Many of the professional writers I know confess that writing as you naturally speak eliminates the need to focus on keyword density. The appropriate amount of density seemingly appears through natural speech.

    The number of keywords per other words. e.g a 1% keyword density would mean that you have 1 keyword for every 100 words in total.
