Using Keyword Density For SEO Purpose's

Using keyword density for SEO purpose's means you need to use your keywords and keyword phrases a certain percentage throughout your post. You may be wondering what the percentage is?

Here is what I have figured out, depending on the source you use, that percentage is roughly 1.5%. Some sites I have discovered by using SEOQUAKE that keyword usage for SEO purpose's tends to be at least 1% to as high as 2.2%. If you want to optimize for certain keywords or keyword phrases you want to stay within this range.

To achieve this typically means that you should use your keywords or keyword phrases at least 6 times for every 300 words. Keep in mind that you want your post to be useful to your readers both the human, the search engine.

SEOQUAKE is a nice tool to have because it allows you to look at the info for any page. You can find out what keywords are being used and which keywords or keyword phrases the page is optimized for. You can view the percentage of use for each keyword or keyword phrase. Best of all this tool is free at http://www.seoquake.com/guide.php?sln=en.


Besides finding your keywords using googles adwords tool (free to use for account members), or keyword tools like KEYWORD NINJA , SEO PROFESOR (these cost but are worth the investment), you want to start using your keywords in the top left section of your page. This will help give your post more weight with google as their search engine spiders start crawling from the top left and down, the same as a human reader does.

If you have kept your keyword density in mind and have chosen the right keywords or keyword phrases, you should see an improvement in your page rank over time by following this idea you should see an increase in traffic. Now don't get me wrong you need to pay attention to keyword density and your keyword selection every time you write a post along with paying attention to other elements of SEO, such as your meta tags, your links.
