Two is correct.

Yes two is correct. It's generally best to stay between 2 to 5 percent keyword density and also have LSI keywords.

Option 2 is the correct one.

2 to 5 percent is too high

1.5% to 2% is about right

Keyword Density can be seen as the percentage of times a keyword appears on a page when you compare it to the total number of words on the page.


To work out density of a page is simple:


X = number of times a word appears on the page
Y = number of words on the page
Word Density = X / Y x 100

I kind of see the confusion here

for example

kw phrase is Big Mean Trucks (3 words)

Ok
So the page has 100 words on it
the kw phrase (3 word phrase ) Big Mean Trucks appears ONE time

But
its a three word phrase

so is the kw density 1%? IMO it would be 1%

or would the kw density be 3%?

its easy to calculate with a one word kw

2, 3, 4 word kw phrases, how is it calculated?

Im confused here on the phrases one as well :S

Two is correct and you should not use more than 3%.

Ok i saw this formula here: http://www.vodahost.com/web-hosting-...-density.html/

please correct me cause im trying to do a keyword density advanced checker online to help out the community and i really want to correct formula to use:
using the last "correcy formula" lets say i have an article or a text of 100 words (lets put it easy so the math is faster than compared to 500 or whatever)
if i have a:

• Keyword phrase of which repeats through the text, if use the last formula my keyword density is: (the keyword/phrase density sounds ok)
• Keyword phrase of which repeats through the text, if use the last formula my keyword density is: (the keyword/phrase density doesnt sounds that eal if im using already 30/100 and its just 12.51)
• Keyword phrase of which repeats through the text, if use the last formula my keyword density is: (the keyword/phrase density sound quite dodgy to be a true density, cause ill have just 40 words left and the phrase )
• Keyword phrase of which repeats through the text, if use the last formula my keyword density is: (the keyword/phrase density sounds non logical since i repeat everyting 30 times and i have just 10 extra keyword to use in the whole article)

So this formula seems quite biased for me

also here Live Keyword Analysis
a real popular keyword density, which they also quote, if you put lets say 100 words and a 3 words phrase repeated 10 times, it displays a 20.4% density, this is simply not right


can someone come up with which one is the real answer for keyword density on a phrase, i think i would use the one on the article before their "master formula"

(Phrase Number of Words)*(Repetition of the phrase)/(Total Words in the article)

any help?

Second one is correct...
But you don’t have to bother much about the keyword density as it matters less now.
There is not specified density. Your duty is to keep the keyword placement as natural as possible.
