Keyword Density Nightmare!!! Egads...

Hey again warriors,

I got a quick question...

keyword density... I've head to keep it between 1% and 5%. If my keyword is "my keyword example", the keyword is technically 3 words. Does the 3 words count as only 1 keyword, or does it count as 3 keywords?

and to calculate the keyword density %, ive just been copying everything off my blog and putting it into word to get a word total.

for example:

if "my keyword example" exact comes up 30 times on a blog post with 1000 words (30/1000) = .03 or 3%

That 30 times was only in the body tho, not counting H1, H2, H3 tags, Not Counting Alt tags on pictures and not counting the title of the post... are those keywords still considered or is it only the keywords in the body that make the keyword density percentage?

Thanks!

  • Generally you'd count the 3 words as 1 keyword.

    Ignore the alt tags and title. Counting the header tags varies by opinion. Just try to keep it looking natural and you should be fine with the headers.

    Hope that clears things up.

    Keyword density percentage is a load of BS, don't listen to the nonsense.

      You mean the fact that google will ban you for keyword stuffing is bs?

      Or the fact that google cares about keyword frequency?

      Thanks!
