Question: What is Keyword Density?

Keyword density is a jargon term in SEO that refers to the number of times your keyword phrase appears on the page.
Answer:
Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or keyword phrase is found in your page content amidst all the other content. For example, if you have a Web page with exactly 100 words on it including all headlines, captions, alt text, and advertising, and you have a keyword phrase that is on the page 3 times, your keyword density is 3%: # of repeats of the keyword / total number of words on the page * 100 = Keyword Density

Keyword density applies to the page as it displays live on your website. Many people will create content with a high keyword density and then place it on their website with a lot of navigation, images, and advertising content and their actual density will go down.

Don’t let keyword density rule your Web writing. If your page has a very low keyword density, but it’s well written and clear, you’ll get as many readers as you would with a more SEO focused articles.
