Dear Friend,
Due to so much talk about keywords these days, people want to know the best keyword density? Some say between 2-8% is best, while others may say that is too low. Some feel that 10% is best. However, there can be too much of a good thing.
Many SEO experts say that you actually need about 10% keyword density. This is the amount that some say is the best for you to use to get the most out of your SEO efforts.
However, due to the overuse of keywords, sites such as Google may not look upon them as well as they once did. This may make the use of keywords not nearly as effective as they used to be. In order to get the most use from your keywords that you possibly can, you need to be certain that there are relevant to you articles or whatever you are putting them in. You must have keywords that are a part of what you are offering to be effective.
If you do not use the appropriate keywords in your content, it can easily mislead people to come to your site and although this may seem ideal, it is not. When you have people come click on your site and then leave immediately, this is tracked and can cause you more problems.
The above stated importance of keyword density has resulted into a lot of misleading search results. This has lead to giving more emphasis on keyword relevance to actual content by search engine operators in order to enhance their services. Now, if you have a website that’s focused on rutabaga farming and want to attract more traffic, the search engine will get confused as your keyword ’sex‘ scattered around the website doesn’t relate to the topic at all. This results in your site setting blacklisted or penalized from search index.
If a person takes the time to read what you have say, there is a good chance they want something you may have to offer. This means the keywords you use in the article are helpful to lead them to your site. This is the best way to work on SEO efforts and also allow them to be as effective as they can be. Anything else is just a waste of your time.
To your success,
Jason
P.S. I am unable to emphasize on the importance of keyword relevance to the content. However, this importance is very valuable to the search engine in order to attract the right kind of traffic.
