| Keyword Density |
| Keyword density is the ratio of placed on the webpage to the total words on the web page. If the total number of words used in the web page is 100 and the keywords is 20 in that case the keyword density will be 5%. In short it is the percentage of key words on the web page. |
| Keyword density and search engine |
| According to page algorithm too much stuffing of or key words results in . Search engine has keyword analyzer which looks at the certain density not the highest density. Whichever page comes in the range of certain density is ranked by search engines. |
| Thus keyword density analyzer plays an important role for search engine in the ranking format. Analyzer is operated by search engines because search engine does not want too much of keywords. |
| Formulae for keyword density |
| As mentioned earlier keyword density is the ratio of inserted keywords and total words on the web page. If expressed in the form of formulae it is written as given below. |
| Keyword density = total words on the web page/ inserted keywords |
| The above mentioned formula gives us ratio or the percentage of keyword density. |
| Range of keyword density |
| The keyword density is picked from thetags of the web page. The range of every search engine is different. Like Google, and Yahoo has different range of keyword density. Every decides it’s optimum range. But the general range lies between 2 to 8%. Where as 2 is considered as lowest density and 8 is considered as highest density. If the ratio or percentage comes 8 it suggests that the keyword density of particular keyword say "seoleaders" is high. And for sure this highest density is not the part of because it is not crossing the given range. |
| Point to be remembered |
| One piece of advice I would like to give you that to increase the range of keyword density does not stuff the in the web page. Otherwise your site will be penalized for it. |
