Hi,
I want some critique around how I'm currently placing my main keyword within articles.
Once within the title of the article, I try to place it next within the 1st three or four sentences and once more towards the end of the article... What do you all think.. Is it over kill..

    Shortly,
    a) try to use long tail keywords
    b) use your main keyword once on title
    c) try to use your keyword on your url
    d) keep keyword density 2-3%
    e) use your main keyword(s) 2 times with first 50 words.
    f) then use keyword over the article according to it's length.

    Hope it will help you a lot. Thanks!

      Agreed.

      I would make sure to mention your keyword at least once in your article though. Apart from that stay on topic, don't write for search engines, write for people.
