In regard to the keyword density question by Asem. This may not apply to keyword density as applied to web-pages, however, I recently received a notification from SYA that they couldn’t submit one of my articles to EzineArticles because the keyword density was 2%. So I went through the article and reduced the number of times that keyword phrase ( home business ) was used to 1% by only using it four times in an article with slightly over four hundred words. It was used nine times before. Until then I didn’t worry about keyword density in my article writing. Hopefully someone will find this helpful.

Hi Bilal,

I suspect that you forgot to select “Exact” from the match menu (the drop down menu on the top right hand side above the keyword list produced from the Google Adwords tool).

Many keywords that are partial phrases such as “work for”, “go to” etc will show as a large number of searches per month because you have selected broad match, which includes all phrases that contain that phrase.

If you choose “Exact” from the menu you will get a more accurate number of searches per month.

Personally I wouldn’t optimize for a phrase that didn’t make sense or a phrase that is incomplete. My first priority is my visitors, and doing something like this would look very odd in most cases.

Cheers,
Suzanne

Thank you so much.
I have learned allot from this website.Thank you
Ok i have a qustion that i found a keyword that has 60,000 search per month, and there is also no competetior for that keyword.
But that keyword was not a common word.
That was just a keyword like “work for” “on the top” and “go with”
So my qustion is,can you optimize for these type of keywords.
I will be very thankful to you.

Hi Asem,

Thanks – I am glad you have found the information useful.

Personally I try not to worry too much about keyword density. I just try to mention my keyword phrases throughout the web page without over doing it and make sure that it looks natural for visitors.

If you are worried about keyword density, I would recommend:

- keeping it under 5%
- checking the keyword density of some of your main competitors for the phrase you are targeting and aim for a similar density for your own site

Cheers,
Suzanne
