What is considered to be optimal for your percentage of keywords compared to the rest of the text? I'm using textalyser and it looks like I'm averaging around 3.2-3.5% Is that good or should I aim higher?
Thanks Hyena, One other question, I'm fairly new to this, my keyword is a phrase, "Grand Canyon". Now say that the textalyser.net brings up grand mentioned 13 times and canyon mentioned 13 times which means my phrase of grand canyon is mentioned a total of 13 times. now if the percentage for each seperate word is 3 something percent, then is the total phrase percentage double that, at 6 to 7 percent, or just at which each of them says seperately, at 3 something percent. this is probably just a simple math question but i've never been very good at math. thanks for the help.
"grand canyon" "grand" and "canyon" is considered as individual keywords.. so it is separately getting their percentage... regards!
I have tested that I have keyword percentage of about 9% Do You think it could be reason to ban from google and I should change it?
there is no magic number or formula. just keep it natural and don't stuff! as for calculation issues: if you have a 2 word KW, appearing 6 times, the density should be calculated for 6X2=12 appearances in the total text volume.
keyword density should be up to 3-5 % of your whole text if you are going to increase your keyword density then resulting any Google like search engine can penalize you.
When I put keywords into my content, I only limit myself to at least 2% to 4% keyword density. If I overly put the number of keywords in my content, there's a chance that Google might penalize my content. That's how I'm sensitive when it comes to keyword density.
Google likes 3-5% keyword density, yahoo always upto 10%. I am not sure about bing. Can anyone tell me ?
