What is the right keyword density in an SEO article?

I have been receiving this a lot in the past 3 months. I know there isn't an exact optimum keyword density, but what is the most recommended percentage range? and why? That would really help.

Thanks guys

 

for 400 to 500 words article the keywords should be maximum 4-5

 

about 3 to 5% is a good range. Also consider the variations of the product keyword. If the keyword is PRODUCT, you could use PRODUCT by COMPANY, COMPANY's PRODUCT, etc

 

So basically you are putting it a 10%?

 

Yeah, I thought 3 to 5% would do. but of late I have been receiving numerous suggestion ranges of over 10% until I doubted myself for a moment.

 

It's better to not use the same KWs more than 2-5 times nowadays. Instead use LSI and long tail variations.

 

Actually, that would put it at 1%

Up to 3% plus giving some love to LSI keywords and you should be good to go.

 

Keyword density refers to the amount of a keyword you use in the content of your site or web page. To rank your site for perticular keywords and phrases, keyword density is important. Also, you should not use too many keywords or Google will consider this as keyword stuffing. Your keyword density should not be more than 2-3% of your total word count.

 

I doubt there is optimal one number, everything depends on your total content size, but just remember not to overdo it to be not considered as spammer.

 

You are right

 

3 to 5% would be ideal. You can check out from

Thanks eric_wahlberg.

 

Unfortunately there's no golden number or percentage for keyword density. Just make sure you aren't over stuffing. Write articles naturally and use keywords where it needs. Also focus on LSI keywords.

 

I think if you are using less than 3% keyword density then that will be potential.

 

I always keep a figure of 2 to 3% but to be really honest that doesn't matter. Just ensure that the article is more relevant to the keyword you are planning to rank for.
Cheers

 

2% to 3% keyword density will be good for any article. Google only suggests write good, unique and meaningful article which helps other readers to solve their query or gain some knowledge. Don't put too much keyword again and again in the same article. Try to focus one single keyword at a time to win Google's trust.

 

No 10% is 40-50 10% is very high sir

 

It's 10% isn't it? I try to keep it at that whenever I write articles or have them written. It's working pretty well so far.

 

2.5% ration is ideal per 100 word

 

Prsonally I try not to focus to much on keywords but rather focus on writing about a certain topic. I try to make the topic as clear as possible.
