Having enough keyword density on your web site is an extremely

important thing that can make or break how well your web site

does in search engines. Having too little or too many keywords

can severely hurt your site. So what exactly is the perfect

amount of keyword density? And what exactly IS keyword density?

Well, in this newsletter, we will go into good detail about the

basics of keyword density. After you have read this, you will be

able to effectively apply keywords to your web site.

So what is keyword density anyway?

Put simply, keyword density is the ratio of keywords or key

phrases to the total number of words on a particular page of

your site. A good rule of thumb is to have a keyword density of

1-3%. Some may be thinking, �how do you get the keyword density

percentage?� The mathematical formula is quite simple: you

divide the total number of keywords or keyword phrases in your

content by the total number of words.

So if you have 10 keywords in a document with 1000 total words,

that�s a keyword density of exactly 1%, which is the lowest

keyword density your page should have for search engine

purposes�anything less and chances are, your site won�t be

listed high in a search engine.

To achieve the ideal keyword density of 3%, you would have to

have 30 keywords or keyword phrases in a site with 1000 words.

Generally speaking, you don�t want to have more than 3% keyword

density, as the keywords tend to get repetitive in that case and

actually hinder your site. But you also don�t want to have less

than 1%, as your site won�t be noticed as quickly or as

effectively by search engines.

How do I make keywords flow naturally throughout my page?

It�s all about coming up with good keywords that relate to your

site and can be used naturally throughout a page without

sounding silly or repetitive. Before you even think about

writing the content for a page, sit down first to decide on

keywords or key phrases to use in the page. Then begin to write

the content, and when you see fit, place in a keyword or key

phrase.

It is a good idea to take a break after writing a paragraph or

two to review the work. When you are looking at what has been

written, make sure it makes sense to you and that the use of

keywords doesn�t distract you from what the page is actually

about. Readers will not enjoy a site that is chock full of

keywords that do nothing but distract them from the article or

piece of content.

A lot of people recommend placing a keyword in the first and

last sentence of every paragraph. While this may be effective

for some, it often does no good for others and hurts their

content. Try not to be too strict with where you place the

keywords�only use them when they seem to �fit� into a sentence.

Then, when you�re done, count them up. If you�ve managed to

place around 10 keywords naturally into your content, then

you�re good to go.

Keyword and word counting seems daunting�.are there any tools I

can use to make the process quicker?

The short answer is yes, there are quite a few wonderful tools

which make counting keywords and total words much easier than it

sounds. We will briefly go over a few here.
