Hello Guys!! Please tell me what is the exact Percentage (%) for density and prominences for any particular keyword for any page. Thanks in advance.. Infograb
Some people say it to be 3 %, others say 5% and 7% and so on. There has been no scientifically proven percentage. Insert your keywords at regular intervals, but do not make it look unnatural.
I agree that a keyword density of 3% to 7% is considered optimum. I have also seen with really unique keywords a density of less than 1% result in good rankings. You can check your pages keyword density with this tool.
I wouldn't say that there's an exact percentage but 4-7% range should be good enough. Make sure to distribute the keywords evenly.
Hi Friends, I recommend keyword density of 3% to 7% but it varies from website to website & more over there is no hard and fast rule...... Regards Sarah
Thanks to all of you!! But all you people had given your view in density no one had told about prominences.. Please let me know about prominences percentage too Thanks in advance!! Infograb
There isn't an optimal keyword density. I'm going to say it again. There isn't an optimal keyword density. Unless you're working with the following HTML (or XHTML) elements and attributes, the best advice anyone can give you is to forget about the search engines and concentrate on writing killer content that the people who will be using your site day in and day out cannot get enough of and will love so much that they not only buy your products, request your services, register for your site (or whatever you want them to do), but will also LINK TO YOUR SITE by recommending it to others they feel will find the site useful. Now about those tags and attributes... TITLE ( <title></title> ) H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 A [HREF=""] ( <a href="#"></a> ) IMG [ALT=""] ( <img src="#" alt=""> ) TITLE="" ( <abbr title=""></abbr> ) Ironically, these are the tags and attributes you want to have as high a keyword density as possible. For example, if your page sells rare baseball cards, your title tag (<title></title>) would look something like this: <title>Buy Rare Baseball Cards At Affordable Prices</title> Not only does the title contain the keywords you're targeting (rare baseball cards), but it also compels the user (specifically the one who is shopping for rare baseball cards) to click the link. For those who need a bit more "convincing" you can always use an appropriate META description tag to help pull them in, such as this one. <meta name="description" content="Find the rare baseball cards you're looking for at prices even casual collectors can afford. We have cards from Topps, Donruss, Upper Deck, and more, including..."> Notice how the description not only accurately describes what the page is about (it sells rare baseball cards), but also entices the reader into clicking the link in the SERPs to see just exactly what cards the site sells (at prices even the most reluctant or cash-strapped collector can probably afford). Headings should be kept as short, sweet and to the point as possible. To continue with the rare baseball cards example (note: I'm shifting the focus from a sales pitch to an editorial - let's say it's a news article), an ideal H1 heading would look somewhat like this: <h1>Elderly Man's Rare Baseball Cards Sell for $1.6 Million</h1> The H2 through H6 headings would then support the H1 heading (think of them as the headings that support the article headline). An example of alt="" and title="" attribute usage would be something like this: <img src="wagner-rookie-card.jpg" alt="Honus Wagner" title="Rare Honus Wagner Rookie Baseball Card"> And last but not least, just to drive the point home, this is Why Writing for Spiders is the Least Sticky Strategy of All.
