Keyword Density Importance
Keyword density is the number of times a keyword is used on a web page in proportion with other words. You can calculate the keyword density of a particular text as:
keyword count/ total word count * 100.
The idea is to use them in such a clever fashion that neither does it hinder readability or dilute the real message (as in the case of keyword stuffing), nor is it a case of under-utilization. To say that 0.2% or 2% or 5% is the ‘most appropriate’ density is something laughable
Keyword density means the frequency of keywords on your content. As one of the members said it is calculated as percentage.
Although Google webmaster guidelines are silent about the recommended keyword density. But according to some experts it must be 3 % means you keyword may appear 3 times in a paragraph of 100 words. whereas others say that it may be 2 – 5 %.
