My apologies for such a basic question, but I wasn't able to find the exact answer anywhere.

I am currently adding a series of webpages on schools that teach in my profession. My thought is that if I can earn some keyword authority for each of the school names, then I will improve my search engine rankings for people who are searching for professionals such as myself.

An idea I had to increase the word count of the pages in order to get the keyword density down to about 3-5% was to include a list of core faculty members. I am thinking this might also earn additional authority for including the most well-known people in the field.

My question is, do proper names count in the overall word count? Or do search engine bots have some way of overlooking those that I may not be aware of?

Many thanks.

    The names are included in the word count.

    I agree. It’s already included on the word count so there's no special way of indexing the names.
