    The total number of indexable links is called keyword density.

    2% to 8 % is the assured as the best Keyword density approved by any search engine. Ezine article demands for 2 % keywords to the total content of the page.

    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.

    8% is far too high. Don't go over 3% but use RELATED terms.

    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. It is very much important from SEO point of view.

    Hi,

    Keyword density measured 4-6 times about 100 words in use keyword phrase. your keyword phrase used more than 4-6 times is that keyword stuffing

    keyword density is the total keywords use on the page compare to other data/text use on the page.

    Keyword Density

    If you have 100 words of paragraph then you can put one keywords 3 to 5 time in that paragraph.It means your Keyword Density is 3 to 5%.

    google consider 2.5 to 7 % of Keyword Density.so make sure your Keyword Density is not more then this ratio....

    These are really helpful posts about keywords, thanks to all :)

    By the way, could anyone tell me if it matters where I place the main amount of keywords? I mean, should I put them in the very beginning or it doesn't matter for search engines?

    Keyword density is important because search engines use this information to categorize a site's theme, and to determine which terms the site is relevant to. The perfect keyword density will help achieve higher search engine positions. Keyword density needs to be balanced correctly (too low and you will not get the optimum benefit, too high and your page might get flagged for “keyword spamming”).

    If you looked into Denver search engine optimization (SEO) in the last couple of years, you probably got a bunch of information about keywords. You learned a lot of ways, some of them a bit tricky, for maximizing the keywords on your website so as to improve your ranking on the search engine results pages. Keywords have been around for a while now as little tools for making the content of your page look attractive to the software, called spiders or web crawlers, that major search engines use to find relevant sites to match users search terms

    Dear Friend,

    Really this is good question , keywords density . Keywords density is repeating of keywords , for example you are providing Web Development service than we add in our content Web Development four to five times in our content so when we are adding our keywords than it called keywords density .

    Keyword density is one of many ways for search engines to determine how relevant a web page is to a specific keyword or key phrase. It is an indication of often the chosen keyword appears on the page. While it is important to use your keywords regularly.

    Keyword density is a term used in SEO which means that your content should not have more than 3 similar words of your keyword per hundred words.
