Keyword density is a measure of the keywords you how many times keyword is repeated in a particular content or Web page. SEO often use keyword density to arrange their products in the search engines.

 

[JoeHasty]

keyword density is the repetition of particular keyword or word or phrase per hundred words on the page.

It should be less than 4%

Keyword density can be defined as ratio between the keyword and the total number of words in a webpage.

Nice information about keywords density, but we have to 3 to 4% in a page, if we more than 5 % it will be the spam.

 

[MarkBenson]

As per my information Keyword Density is a process to make a phrase for a keyword to restrict this keyword from Google to be not penalized due to heavy traffic on the same keyword.I have no idea about ratio on the web for a keyword.But it must be followed by every web master to make there post reliable and valuable.

Indeed ,it's a process of covering our keyword from over-optimization.The process of keyword density should be in perfect ratio and it is 70%-30%.

Keyword density is a jargon term in SEO that refers to the number of times your keyword phrase appears on the page.

 

[BloodMaster]

Keyword Density is one of the famous SEO terms representing the ratio of times a particular keyword or keyword phrase has been used in the writing, compared to the whole document. In other words, it tells you how frequent a keyword is stated in the writing.

 

[SteveKaplan]

Keyword density is just a figure, that's mentioned as a proportion of the total number of words on the page, that tells you the number of times the keyword seems on the page.

Keyword density is the percentage of the number of times a particular keyword or keyword phrase is used in comparison to the total amount of words in the article, page or site

If the appropriate keywords are not included in the content, or if the keyword percentage rate is too low, the search engine may not pick up on the words that the searcher entered and the search will be useless. If the keywords have too high a density and the search engine detects keyword stuffing, the search engine can and will give the search a poor result – and the searched page or site may not show up within the first 10 or even 50 or more pages

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or keyword phrase is found in your page content amidst all the other content. For example, if you have a Web page with exactly 100 words on it including all headlines, captions, alt text, and advertising, and you have a keyword phrase that is on the page 3 times, your keyword density is 3%:

Really a good information is provided. I would like to know more from you that is it really helpful in getting a good pagerank?

The most popular are the Search Engine World's Keyword Density Analyzer, the Keyword Density Analyzer and the SEO Chat's SEO Tools- Keyword Density. The important thing to remember when using keywords is not to overstuff. Use only 5 percent of the keywords on one page. Your keywords and keyword phrases should pertain to your site and the content. Keep the content fresh and new.

 

[abhishekbt]

I would keep keyword density on my website as 2-3%, but I used to increase/decrease them as well depending on the competition for that keyword.

 

[ShannonCanon]

Keyword density is a fact that is reported as a percentage of the total number of words on the page that tells you the number of times the keyword appears on the page. For example, if your keyword appears 15 times on the page of 800 words the occurrence will be 1.87% (15/800*100).

Simple and informative description of keyword density. What is the ideal keyword density a site must have?

I think it should be between 2-3%. More than that will look spammy content.

 

[JoeHamilton]

According to me 2% stuffing of keyword in a five hundred words article will be enough to make your content good. This percent of stuffing will not let you into the penalty zone of Google.

 

[Shirley_Sharp]

Keyword density is all about number of occurrences of any particular keyword in any page, as much as keyword density will get high it will be easy to search the string.
