    Keyword density refers to the number of times a keyword appears in a given text (usually an article).

    For instance, if your keyword appears one time in every 100 words in your article, you have a keyword density of 1%; 2 times in every 100 words gets you 2% and so on.

    Some SEO professionals will tell you that you want to get a keyword density of between 1 and 5 percent. Personally, I aim for a density of around 2% to 3%.

    Each and every people follow their own. For example somebodies follow 0 to 1%, 1 to 2%, 2 to 3%..., it depends on their optimization.

    keyword density for the number highlighted keywords of your content and normally if your content is less than 200 words i thinks the percentage of 2 is good other wise it should be less thanks it after the length of the content. Suppose if you put more links on the content a visitor will find it some thing boring type to read the content as we normally see in Wikipedia people get bore while see too many links there. It should be 1 %.

    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.

    I suggest 2%-3% is best for keywords highlighted in 100 words content. people get your read your content properly and google also catch your 2-3% highlighted keywords easily.

    Dont too concern on the keyword density, it is find as long as your keyword appear.
    However, if you looking for the best, suggest make it about 3%

    Keyword density means how many times your keyword appear in the article or page of the website. Keyword density shouldn't be more than 3%.

    According to me, 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.
