    No. of keywords or repetition of a particle word or phrase is know as keyword density. You content should be written based on the keyword and repetition of a particular phrase must be limited.

    As experts believe it should not be exceed more than 8 % for a particular keyword,
    But what i think is no matter, you can do keyword stuffing.

    Keyword density is the ratio of - total no. of keywords on a page diveded by the total no. of words on the page.

    eg- if a page has the keyword "car" 10 times on a page and the total no. of words on that page are 100 then the keyword density will be 10/100=1/10
    or 10%.

    Keyword Density is the number of times any keyword is repeated within a web page, expressed as a percentage of the total number of textual words on the page.

    Keyword Density is very important, don't listen whoever says that it is not important he don't know anything about seo. Who has allowed such person to answer ? why do they give answer when they dont know anything about a topic ? Are they doing time pass here ?

    Keyword density should be between 5 to 7% and remember your web page should content the same keyword which you have target in title tag and that is keyword. So that keyword should in first paragraph and at the end of page. Yes you can keep that keyword in between these paragraph to make you keyword density upto 5 to 7% and that is standard.
    Also organizing keyword and maintaining keyword density is the only one factor to bring page rank and increae serp but there are various other factors also which all altogether increase your page rank and serp.

    Keyword density is the ration between number of keywords divided by the total number of words on the page .
    An acceptable level of keyword density is around 5 - 9 %; anything higher is suspicious of black hat techniques.

    Keyword Density is the number of keywords in your website.

    For a website it should be between 7%-10% of the total content of a website for website optimization.

    In Keyword Density they recommend using a keyword density ration in the range of 2-4%.
    To calculate your keyword density, divide the total number of
    words on your page by the number of times your primary keyword or key phrase
    appears. Keyword density is critical when outlining the keyword portion of your
    search engine optimization strategy. It is one of the most critical aspects of successful search engine
    optimization. To improve your search engine ranking potential, your keyword density
    must be just right.

    You can check keyword density here:

    Keyword Density Checker

    You should build your site around a particular keyword. This keyword should, as others have already said, make up 5-7% of the words on your site. These same keywords should then be placed in your title.
