What is keyword density in content

hi there,

will anybody help me to know what is keyword density?
what should be the number of key words and key phrases in a content of 250 words

Hi,

There is a good SEO Glossary for terms such as Keyword Density here.

As far as I know there is no exact number for keyword density. I tend to go for between 6% and 10% max keyword density which I feel is a good balance - SE Informative but not overkill and risking a stuffing flag.

In your 250wpp that'd be about 12-25 keywords. Don't forget though, it's also dependant on the context; no use hitting 10% if that amount makes your copy unintelligable. Keep it readable to humans.

hi,

but what i know is that the no.of keywords in 250words post should be 3 to 4. and the percentage of a key word shold not be more than 7%. it is better keep the keywords and key phrases within 4%.

According to me, keyword density should be less. It could be in between, 3-5%. Don’t do keyword stuffing.

how do you count keyword density. let say you want to optimize the keyword software. to represent the term you are usings software development, software firm and software products. according to you how will you count software ? should it be 1 or it should be 4

hi,

can you people give me some examples of content that you feel to be content spam or keyword stuffing.

keep keyword density from 3 to 5% it is the best strategy for most of the sites. and for better ranking built link excahnge compaing.

The most obvious is lots of small or near invisible text on the page. It works - but only for a short time. So dont bother. Obvious lists of mispellings (like the ones you can generate on websites like SEOchat) are also frowned on by Google.
