Keyword Density Myth Revealed
Today we are going to talk about the keyword density myth that is spread around the internet. This myth was created by top seo’s and search engines to throw people a curveball and keep them off the track of correct SEO tactics.
Keyword density in a nutshell is how many times through your body text you mentioned a specific keyword or phrase. Keyword density is no longer an important factor for the search engines but the top seo’s and search engines continue to promote the idea that it is. You will see all these top seo’s and some search engines giving the percentages to go by.
These percentages are totally false and misleading to every new seo that has not been in the field long. Keyword density is one of the lowest factors the search engines now go by for successful rankings, I am not suggesting that you go out spam your page with a bunch of keywords just to gain higher rankings.
I’m also not suggesting for you to limit how many times you mention the keywords either, my only rule of thumb is to go by reading your own content and making sure it makes sense to you and your visitors. The search engines are becoming smarter and smarter all the time. They now read sentence structure, so if it makes sense to a human we can assume it will now make sense to the search engines. Build it as if you were reading it on someone else’s website. How do you believe it should be structured and displayed?
We’ve been talking about on page body text keyword density and the myth behind it that the search engines and top seo’s created over the years. But let’s not skip the meta description density either, although I have not heard any reports about keyword density in the description tag, I suggest that you mention it no more than one time in this tag.
This way you can avoid any penalties from the search engines now and in the future. I hope that you have enjoyed today’s post on the keyword density myth, what are your thoughts on the subject and how many times do you believe keywords should be mentioned per page?

Selecting the right keywords is a very very important concept that many people do not realize how “dense” it can be. Having appropriate keywords that are likely to be searched for in search engines is the first step in SEO success.
Good job on writing this article!
Biggest Reason Original Article Fail is Keywords and Keyword Density
An article must always be focused on the keywords and keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, there are those who are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific something. When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine and types in the keywords they are looking for.
The Important thing is that you have an article that has the keywords that are related to your site. There are many tools in the internet that provides service in helping a webmaster out in determining what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought out. You can use this tool to determine what keywords to use and write about.
Keyword density has been largely superseded by latent semantic indexing (LSI) … the use of related terms that make sense in context to the keywords you’re targeting.
This used to be important but since search engnes changed density really is not so important.
density isnt important but it is needed so dont forget about it..
