Keyword Density Optimization

I am one of those concerned with keyword density. Keyword density in other words that the more often the search engine could find a search term in your content, the more it would imply that your page is Relevant and thus should be ranked higher. But, Too much repetition will be considered as spam keywords.

How to Calculation Keyword Density?

Search engine optimization/SEO always put emphasis on Keywords. Make sure that your density is satisfying for your specific search term. Example, we'll assume that I want to check the keyword density of my page title "SEO Writing Keyword and Search Engine" for the search term "SEO Writing".

• Make a Google search of your keyword term, let's say "SEO Writing".
• Write down all the 10 page titles.
• Count how many words in your page title. In our case 5 words.
• Count how many times you use your keyword. In our case 1 time.
• Do the same for each page title of your top 10 competitors. The count varies from 2-12 words.
  

So what do we get from the numbers:

If we make the ration of our keyword and page title length, the keyword density for our search term is:

* Keyword Density: 40
* Density: 20 and 100 and 40 and 50%

The next step is to compare your competitors' ratios and yours. If your density is lower than your competition, you should consider removing some text to increase your keyword density or the search engine may not consider your page as sufficiently relevant. If your density is within the range, you are doing a good job.

Note: if you want to check the keyword density can try on www.keyworddensity.com.

SEO Keyword Element

Simple tips SEO Web get high traffic website with maximize keyword. This is a factors affect your rankings with Google, MSN, Yahoo! and the other search engines.

• Keyword in title tag. This is one of the most important places to have a keyword because what is written inside the title tag shows in search results as your page title. The title tag must be short (6 or 7 words at most) and the the keyword must be near the beginning.
  

• Keyword in URL. Keywords in URLs help a lot - e.g. - http://domainname.com/free-seo-tools.html. Where “free SEO tools” is the keyword phrase you attempt to rank well for. But if you don't have the keywords in other parts of the document, don't rely on having them in the URL.

• Keyword density in document text. Another very important factor you need to check. 3-7 % for major keywords is best, 1-2 for minor. Keyword density of over 10% is suspicious and looks more like keyword stuffing, than a naturally written text.

• Keywords in anchor text. Also very important, especially for the anchor text of inbound links, because if you have the keyword in the anchor text in a link from another site, this is regarded as getting a vote from this site not only about your site in general, but about the keyword in particular.

• Keywords in the beginning of a document. Also counts, though not as much as anchor text, title tag or headings. However, have in mind that the beginning of a document does not necessarily mean the first paragraph – for instance if you use tables, the first paragraph of text might be in the second half of the table.

• Keywords in tags. Spiders don't read images but they do read their textual descriptions in the tag, so if you have images on your page, fill in the tag with some keywords about them.

• Keywords in metatags. Less and less important, especially for Google. Yahoo! and MSN still rely on them, so if you are optimizing for Yahoo! or MSN, fill these tags properly. In any case, filling these tags properly will not hurt, so do it.

• Keyword proximity. Keyword proximity measures how close in the text the keywords are. It is best if they are immediately one after the other (e.g. “dog food”), with no other words between them. For instance, if you have “dog” in the first paragraph and “food” in the third paragraph, this also counts but not as much as having the phrase “dog food” without any other words in between. Keyword proximity is applicable for keyword phrases that consist of 2 or more words.

• Keyword phrases. In addition to keywords, you can optimize for keyword phrases that consist of several words – e.g. “SEO services”. It is best when the keyword phrases you optimize for are popular ones, so you can get a lot of exact matches of the search string but sometimes it makes sense to optimize for 2 or 3 separate keywords (“SEO” and “services”) than for one phrase that might occasionally get an exact match.

• Secondary keywords. Optimizing for secondary keywords can be a golden mine because when everybody else is optimizing for the most popular keywords, there will be less competition (and probably more hits) for pages that are optimized for the minor words. For instance, “real estate new jersey” might have thousand times less hits than “real estate” only but if you are operating in New Jersey, you will get less but considerably better targeted traffic.

• Keyword stemming. For English this is not so much of a factor because words that stem from the same root (e.g. dog, dogs, doggy, etc.) are considered related and if you have “dog” on your page, you will get hits for “dogs” and “doggy” as well, but for other languages keywords stemming could be an issue because different words that stem from the same root are considered as not related and you might need to optimize for all of them.

• Synonyms. Optimizing for synonyms of the target keywords, in addition to the main keywords. This is good for sites in English, for which search engines are smart enough to use synonyms as well, when ranking sites but for many other languages synonyms are not taken into account, when calculating rankings and relevancy.

• Keyword Mistypes. Spelling errors are very frequent if you know that your target keywords have popular misspellings or alternative spellings (i.e. Christmas and Xmas), you might be tempted to optimize for them. Yes, this might get you some more traffic but having spelling mistakes on your site does not make a good impression, so you'd better don't do it, or do it only in the metatags.

• Keyword dilution. When you are optimizing for an excessive amount of keywords, especially unrelated ones, this will affect the performance of all your keywords and even the major ones will be lost (diluted) in the text.

• Keyword stuffing. Any artificially inflated keyword density (10% and over) is keyword stuffing and you risk getting banned from search engines.
