What is Keyword density? Keyword density is the percentage of words on a web site that match a specified set of keywords.
We must add that Keyword density is one of the factors in determining if a web page is relevant to a specified keyword or keywords.
Right now search engines implement certain measures of relevancy to prevent the abuse of keyword density from some bad webmasters (keyword stuffing).
As an example, imagine that we have a page with 100 keywords and we have our main keyword 5 times repeated over that text, that means that the keyword density for that keyword would be 5%.
If you are wondering what is the right keyword density on a web site, my answer would be anything between 3% to 5% if you go over those parameters you could get into trouble such as being banned from the Search Engines!
This is the link for a great tool that will help you to find out what the keyword density of your web site is.
The interesting thing is that you can use the keyword density analyzer to see the density of top matched pages of your competitors versus your own. This is good because it tells you exactly what to do to improve one of the factors that will allow you to rank better on the search engines.
Keep in mind that your main goal is to deliver good content, with a liitle bit of practice you can find the right way to satisfy the bots and the human visitors :).
