Keyword Density – End Of Days!
There are various and many versions of the keyword density rule. But the one you choose
to use is quite frankly up to you. Nevertheless, quite frankly now you don’t need to worry
about it too much.
Keyword density is over talked in almost every internet marketing forum. You need 4%,
6% or 8% to get good ranking for your page. We on the other hand are going to look at
keyword relevance. Forget keyword density, concentrate on keywords that are relevant
to the keyword you are optimizing.
Here are some examples to the rule.
Keyword – baby gifts
1. The keyword baby gifts is placed in each or subsequent paragraph.
2. The keyword is entered 3 times in the first 500 characters
3. The keyword is entered only once in the whole page
You must have heard of these theories before and now for my extras…
1. Keyword variations that act as secondary keywords
2. The keyword has 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 variations that are included in the text
So What Should You Do?
Just create pages! Leave all the dirty work of analysing keyword density. It’s too much work and it’s
fading away fast! You can spend a whole day in just getting this right, the keyword density thing. Plus I
have acknowledgment of well-known SEO webmasters who support this fact.
For example, I’ve read you can place the keyword ‘x’ times in a body text. But once I completed the page,
how many times would I need to alter the page, in order to match the new density rule? Also I’ll need to
re-create paragraphs to get the keyword included after so many characters etc.
This is just a small example of what possible dilemmas that can occur if you get too nitty-gritty with the
keyword density rule.
Create pages on the basis of the keyword being placed in the first paragraph, and several times on the
page with various relevant keywords throughout the body text. However, place it, if it ONLY makes sense
to include it in a sentence.
Myth: Use the 4% keyword density rule. Use the 6% or even the 10%!
Reality: Use a combination of the keyword density rule! Make use of the 10%, 6% and 4%.
Each page is unique and varies heavily. Interchange the density rule so that some pages
have the 4%, 6% or even the 10%.There is no real theory to which one works 100% each
time. By using different density rules will help you distinguish which one is working for
which type of pages.

In rankings every keyword is approached differently by the search engines. Meaning a
6% in one niche may work brilliantly and not in another niche. So going forward
keyword density will fade away soon … so be cautious and appear natural.
