Keyword Density
Search engine optimizers are always looking for ways to rank higher in the search engine indexes and for their pages to be categorized in these indexes properly. Keyword density has shown in the past to help a web developer achieve a web ranking in a search engine index under the proper term or phrase. This can help facilitate the proper ads being sent via Google Adsense to your web site as well as visitors coming to your web site for specific on-topic information.
Keyword density usually refers to the exact percentage that a word or phrase is used on one web page. For instance if you have a web page with 500 words and 25 words on the page are “movie”, your keyword density for “movie” on this web page is 5%. Most SEO gurus state that the proper keyword density should be around 2 to 5% of your entire web page. This keyword density should enable your web page to be indexed under the term that you have optimized your page for.
If you don’t have time or energy to count all the words, there are plenty of great keyword density tools that can look at your site and instantly give you the keyword densities for the top words used on your web page. You can also use these tools to analyze your competitors to see how well their keyword density is for a specific topic. If you want to create successful web pages on topic, make sure you look into keyword density.
