What is the best keyword density ?

 


nappa
If the percentage of keyword density is too high the search engine will consider it as keyword stuffing, but if the density is too low the site is not ranking well. So any idea about it ?

As a general rule, lower key word density, with a high frequency, works nice. What this equates to is a lot of words on the page. For example, have a look at this page I authored.. where the density of "recording equipment" and "pro audio" is low, but the frequency is high. As well there are many other subphrases of importance - with the two most important ones being "trident audio" and "oram pro audio".

A relatively low denisty (1.7-3%), with a high frequency (10 occurrences or more) is obtained by having a large word count (2500+). This is achieved mainly through choice of layout, also with SEO in mind (XHTML strict 3 column).

see it's results at Google for:

ORAM PRO AUDIO
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=oram+pro+audio&meta=

TRIDENT PRO AUDIO
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=trident+pro+audio&meta=

Thanks for the advise. It does help.

However I've checked your site. For keywords "oram pro audio" the keyword density is 3% and 1 time keyword occurence. I saw that you use very long meta tag. I thought google never care about it. So I'm getting confuse here. What do you mean by frequency ? It seems that you don't put much keyword on the first page. And you rank the third for that keywords, great job.

5 - 7 % can be considered as the optimum value
