Golelen,

SEOBook is very cool if you article is already posted. If it's still on your hard drive and you want to check it, I use this - Text analysis, wordcount, keyword density analyzer, prominence analysis

Keyword density means very little. If anything at all.

I completely agree!

I used to aim for a keyword density of about 1.5%, but realized that my articles didn't read as well as I wanted them to.

Now I have my content producers write with readability and personality in mind and I'm making way more money. I get more links, more viral traffic, more subscribers and higher rankings.

If you still feel the need to check for keyword density, Live Keyword Analysis lets you copy and paste articles in and see live keyword density stats.

Okay, this is new information for me. That should make producing content for our websites less daunting.

But my question is: if keyword density is not really that important, why do people have to spend serious time researching for keywords to rank well in the search engines? If keyword density is not that significant, how are we going to use these keywords then in articles that we uploaded to our sites? Would using them once or twice in a 400-word article be enough to be worth the time and effort researching them?

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. :confused:

Thanks

I think one of the best reasons for researching keywords is to find out what your niche is curious about. Once you find out what your niche wants, you can write highly relevant articles about what they want to know, which seem to do better than keyword stuffed articles.

It also helps to include you desired keyword phrase in your article title. Based on my own observations, having the desired keyword in the title and an article that is highly relevant to the keyword works extremely well.

Thanks

The point is that you shouldn't worry too much about the density. If you write an article about 'green tea', it's pretty obvious that you're going to use that phrase in the article anyway. You just shouldn't worry too much about if the density is 1% or 20%.

Keywords in the title and anchortext however.. that's a different story.

Traffic Travis allows you to find out keyword density. In work you can also use find on a word and then divide the words on an article by the times the keyword was found.

However, like stated by other warriors, keyword means little.

I use MSWord to give me a word count. Then, I try to make sure I don't repeat the keyword phrase more than once every 100 words. The last piece of advice is to make sure that the keyword phrase appears at the beginning and end of each article.
