Wordpress bad for SEO?

We are working on SEO for a website, and are running into an issue, so we would like some advice from experts here..

See this web page;
http://www.bestshoestobuy.com/shoes-...ese-slingback/

We are planning to optimize for the keyword phrase "slingback sandals", though we have not done the optimization yet.

When we do a keyword density analysis, on this URL here;
goRank - Free Professional SEO Tools - Keyword Rank Tracker, Keyword Density Analyzer, Link Popularity Checker, and more

In the analysis, we find that the keyword phrase "steve madden" is very prominent! Also a piece of our affiliate code "8217 s" is very prominent!

This is because our Wordpress theme has the phrase "steve madden" on that web page several times, in the "Topics" section, "Prior Posts" section. And then of course we link to the Steve Madden website with some images and affilaite codes, because we want the viewer to click on those images.

We're worried that the template puts so many links on that the web page, that it will be optimized for the wrong keywords! OPtimized for "steve madden", or some of the others, instead of the intended keyword!

Is this really an issue? What to do about it?

Thanks for any advice.

    • So you are saying this is an issue and we need to customize the html code?

  • the page is gone, as far as SEO goes, concentrate on backlink. This is the only thing you want to do for Google. Stop worrying about keyword density etc... they are pointless.

  • 1. Zoobie is correct in saying that Keyword Density is useless. Just don't over use a keyword too much. Remember you are creating content for humans and search engines.

    2. Google loves Wordpress.

    3. I suggest you install some SEO-Plugins for wordpress which should help organise your SEO structure better.

    Good Luck
