Everywhere that you look you see posts about key word density and seo. Everyone wants to know what the correct percentage of keyword density is appropriate to appease the search engines. Well the answer like most search engine optimization answers is one of balance:
1) Make sure that your content makes sense. Search engines are becoming increasingly clever about discovering if you actually wrote a good piece of content or if you are just trying to jam in as many keywords as possible.
2) Don’t use content generation software that is strictly keyword based. You know the type that say, “Give us your list of keywords and we will create countless articles for you.”
3) Use your main keyword in your title, first sentence, last paragraph, images and tags.
4) Some say not to go over a 10% key word density ratio but as always there are exceptions to this rule. It is a good place to start though.
The main thing you should be looking at is does your content make sense to both humans and the search engines. Reading your content aloud before posting should give you a quick answer to this. Then scan your content to make sure that you have not overloaded it with keywords in the thankless pursuit of trying to guess the “right” key word density.
