Hi members

Does anyone know what a good keyword density is for the main Search engines?

Personally I just use a single keyword target that has <h1> tags around it and the rest I use is content similar to that keyword. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I've heard between 4% - 9% for the likes of MSN who rely more on keyword density than Google.

5%-10% in the body of your page has worked well for me. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Hi

The preferred keyword density ratio varies from search engine to search engine. In general, I think a keyword density ratio in the range of 2-10% would be fine.

Hope that helps

It's our experience that key word density is an overated on-page factor.

As long as you DO NOT hit the "magic" percentage point it's actually not very relevant anymore.

The other various on-page and more importantly off-page factors are the ghost's in the SE machines. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Then what is "relevant" when dealing with the SE. True, anything can be overated if it distracts from other factors to much. But I find it hard to believe that page content doesn't matter at all. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

There are software programs that tell you good percentages to stay under. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I personally go on 5% for MSN and Yahoo! but 2.5% for Google.

That is when I can be bothered to check the keyword density -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
