Keyword Density for Onpage SEO

You will want to scatter your key phrase throughout your web page's content.
Keyword density is usually measured as a percentage of the total words on a
page. So, if your web page contains 100 words and your key phrase appears
three times, your keyword density should be three percent (assuming your key
phrase is just one word). You might assume that the higher the keyword
density, the better it is for onpage SEO, but this is not necessarily the
case. Too high a keyword density will get your page penalized by the search
engines. Besides, overloading your content with your key phrase will make
your content less readable and therefore less appealing to your readers.
There's no point getting people to your web page just to see them leave
again out of boredom or frustration.

A keyword density of around three percent is ideal, but a density anywhere
between one and five percent is fine. The caveat to all this is that it
should read sensibly so don't get too hung up on getting exactly three
percent. It's far more important to keep your visitor's interest so they
keep reading. Onpage SEO is there to serve the needs of your website. Don't
make your website a slave to onpage SEO.


my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."
