Keyword Density



K


eywords… always keywords!       To use keywords means to          
It’s amazing how much of a      introduce them into the content   
headache they can be. You       of your web pages in a natural    
spend hours and hours                 manner: not too many, not too     
researching, planning, making         few…                              
lists, and calculating keyword                                          
density, for what? To be              Is there a keyword density secret 
successful online, to reach those     formula? Nope.                    
high SERPs all webmasters and                                           
online entrepreneurs dream about:     There are, however, some          
to be number one.                     guidelines.                       
                                                                        
You are ready to pay the price;       No keywords = no placement in the 
you are ready to choose a company     SERPs (search engine result       
that promises you top ten results     pages). No placement in the SERPs 
guaranteed. Guess what? There are     = no traffic. No traffic = no     
no warranties; there is no            revenue. No revenue = you don’t   
keyword secret formula. You want      have a business. So invest time   
to be number one? That’s hard to      and effort in choosing and using  
achieve, but not impossible. You      keywords.                         
can do it on your own. You’ll                                           
need to learn a lot, to work day      It is important that your         
and night, to invest your time in     keywords appear in the META tags  
this effort. But you will             (page title, meta title, meta     
succeed.                              description, meta keywords) and   
                                      the content of the page. However, 
So here you go: choose your           too many keywords could get your  
keywords wisely. Use them even        site penalized for spamming. Too  
wiser.                                few… bring no results.            
                                                                        



Each search engine places             results. Pay attention: if you    
different importance on keyword       want to be competitive, focus on  
density. Google requires a            one keyword per page and keep its 
maximum of 3%, Yahoo! needs a         page density to the minimum.      
5-6%. Is it safe to go beyond                                           
Google’s guidelines? Not really.      You have a public relations       
Then what? Place importance on        website. Then “public relations”  
the keyword modifications: bold,      is your keyword phrase. Start     
italic, type size, underline,         optimizing for it. Create sub     
highlight, hyperlink. Take care       pages to support the home page    
where on page you place the main      optimize those for keyword        
keywords: the heading, at the         variations and some related low   
beginning of your first               competitive keywords. Keep your   
paragraph, at the end of the last     content simple, relevant,         
sentence of your text, in             useful…and don’t stuff it with    
subheadings, in hyperlinks and so     keywords. That’s all you need to  
on. You do this in a natural,         know about keyword density.       
readable manner and you cannot                                          
fail.                                 Not convinced? How about this:    
                                      Google will change its algorithms 
So don’t target too many keywords     soon. Why don’t you run a keyword 
or keywords phrases: one or two       density checker on your website   
will do. You could even target        and have a chat with your SEO     
three if you have a lot of            team or expert? You wouldn’t like 
content on one page, but not          Google to ban you for keyword     
more. Don’t optimize your page        stuffing, would you?              
for fast results, but for lasting
