Hello Bellabee,

Just a quick tip for you, forget keyword density. Dont worry about it. A slight change in keyword density will not effect your rankings. Google doesnt put asmuch weight towards KWD anymore. So anywhere between 1 - 10% is fine.

More important to have your keyword in your backlink anchor text, title and h1 tags. 2 or 3 times throughout the content is fine.

I stopped paying attention
to the keyword density.

My articles still rank well.

Keyword density doesn't work as well as it used to. Personally I don't recommend it. Instead focus on semantically related terms. Google seems to be leaning heavily towards LSI (latent-semantic indexing).

Head over to Quintura and type in your main keyword or phrase. The window on the left will return to you a cloud of related terms that you can then incorporate into your content.

Stop wasting your time on keyword density, it's all Bull Crap, a myth that ppl who believe in this carry with them all the time.

Nowadays, it's more about LSI... Latent Semantic Indexing... What words on the page are related and how the sentence is constructed in the terms of being in the correct form of context.

Don't get me wrong, SE's don't use it to rank a page, but more to find out the professional nature of the document.

ie, sentence structure, related words, professional words that a lot of us don't use in our articles. I'm taking about what most of us do not possess, a English Lit' Degree / Phd in.

these type of articles will rank much higher than others, though there isn't any bias as such in those who don't write too well... I'm one of them, I suck at English... as you can probably tell. my forte is in numbers and ripping things apart for analysis to captialize on.

in a nut shell... just ensure that you are using power words when ever you can, over time, you'll learn these words and add them to your articles as if it's second nature... then don't forget to link up these important words to other articles, not just on your own website, but to others as well to give your readers more of an opinion / information on what they are initially seeking to read up on.

There's no need to know the keyword density... as long as you have keywords, it would be fine.. LOL

@askloz
I certainly agree with you, and by the way thanks for the information about Latent Semantic Indexing.. its pretty useful for peoples hooked up with keyword density..

Works great and is free. I go for 2.8-3.8 KWD.

Be careful about having language that's TOO advanced. I have a bunch of clients who have very technical web sites, and the reading level is so high that I think search engines have trouble understanding what the content focus is.

Great for technical readers, bad for search engines. Also bad for the technical readers' bosses, so I can usually get clients to simplify the language as part of targeting higher-up folks in their prospects' companies. ;-)
