In the last part of this articles, I will discuss how much density percentage is good? Again, this will apply to both new and existing sites, and I am covering here what to know about keyword density.
The importance of keyword density.
Keyword density can be very beneficial when done right, but it can also have a very negative influence when overdone. This is known as "keyword stuffing". When you stuff keywords in your page, this will be detected and your site will get penalized for doing so. This could go as far as getting your entire site blacklisted from a particular search engine, if you are found keyword stuffing too many times.
There is no secret keyword formula.
No matter what you may think, or read on forums or even articles by such "SEO Gurus", there is no secret formula for keyword density. There are, however, certain guidelines that need to be followed, and they are available to the public form the search engines themselves. Keywords density is one of most critical elements in SEO, and if you can master it you get higher rankings for your site.
So what is the right keyword density?
Your keyword density must be right to improve your search engine ranking. The "ideal" keyword density will always help to achieve high rankings. But how much is too much? If too low, you will not get the maximum benefits, if too high your site might get flagged as spam… Ok, there is no "one number fits all" here, but based on real case studies, the average top ranking Google site averages basic 1.9% keyword density. I wouldn't go over 2%. This is an average value, and I am talking about basic percentages here, not complex. But it translates well to their complex values.
