(Page 2 of 5 )
Also be sure to only count the number of keywords for your specific phrase. You can only calculate Keyword density for one phrase at a time.
2. Take the number of keywords in your content and divide by the total number of words on your page. So you should do some type of calculation like this:
Ex. 5.3 keywords / 285 words = 10% Keyword Density.
So what is the optimal keyword density? That seems to vary widely. These are the recommendations for Google and the websites I find them at:
Keyword Density: SEO Considerations by Wayne Hubert - 2%
Mike's Marketing Tools - 2%-8%
Perfect Keyword Density by Ahmed El-Naggar - 10%
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/16292.htm - 1%-7%
Google Ranking Factors - 5%-20%
