Hello guys please describe me exact meaning of Keyword Density ? is it different for all Search engines ?

C_Rebecca

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.

Optimal keyword density ensures that your webpage will be ranked well for the targeted keywords.

As such, there is no fixed keyword density for any search engine. 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 so that you don’t rank high on search results.

Keyword density is important because search engines use this information to categorize a site's theme, and to determine which terms the site is relevant to. The perfect keyword density will help achieve higher search engine positions. Keyword density needs to be balanced correctly.

K.D. is the number of times a keyword is used in the given content. It should not be more than 3-4%. There is also keyword proximity which means the proper distribution of the keywords that you are going to use. If you have 200 words in a given content then use 2 keywords per 50 words. You should take care of both.

Generally keyword density is the white hat SEO technique in which you put how much percentage of keywords put in your web page or in website whilst in keyword stuffing you use many keywords in your page or in your site or blog that any visitor can not find anything without your keywords. It is called keyword stuffing. And when you do this you break the rules and regulations of Google. So it is called black hat SEO technique.

Yes you are right. Keyword density is a optimization of content by using your targeted keywords. All search engines follow their own algorithm for indexing the website.

Keyword density is a measure of the relative importance of a keyword on a given page, based on its rate of occurrence. It is one of the factors being considered by search engines in determining your website’s popularity or importance. And also, it is one of the bases for categorizing your website’s theme and in finding out which term the site is relevant to.
