Default Excessive use of key words in Ezine articles

Hi, I would appreciate help with this small problem.


Today I got a article returned by Ezine, with an explanation stating that I had excessive key word use. The article was about "hair loss" and it was the words "hair loss", which were the offending ones. The actual keywords phrase I chose for the article ( for SEO purposes) consists of 5 words which includes those two words. This actual 5 word phrase is only used three times in the article (530 words). However the words "hair loss" was used too many times. Ezine state that it's only permissible to use keywords once per 100 words.

As the article is 530 words long, I would be restricted to using a keyword not more than 5 times. I have changed the article so that "hair loss" is used only 4 times (including where it's part of the 5 word SEO phrase). I had to use alternatives and one which I used "loss of hair", which I used 4 times.

The question is whether Ezine editors would consider "hair loss" and "loss of hair" sufficiently similar to be considered the same key word from the point of view of excessive usage.

In other words I am now using "hair loss" and "loss of hair" 4 times each. Is this going to be a problem?

Thanks for the help.
Greg

In my experience, if you changed some of your "hair loss" to "loss of hair" as you stated so that each is only used four times, then you should be good to go. In the long run, this may pay off better for you too.

they are picky but you just gotta work around it. For example i do alot of credit repair articles and if I overuse the word credit, even though its not listed as a key word they will reject it. i have found if you keep non keyword to a density of 2-2 1/2% they usually do not care.

"hair loss" and "loss of hair" are 2 different keywords. That means that you should be okay
