Author Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the web page. But mind you, keywords shouldn’t be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places.
If you repeat your keywords with every other word on every line, then your site will probably be rejected as an artificial site or spam site.
Keyword density is always expressed as a percentage of the total word content on a given web page.
Suppose you have 100 words on your webpage (not including HMTL code used for writing the web page), and you use a certain keyword for five times in the content. The keyword density on that page is achieved by simply dividing the total number of keywords, by the total number of words that appear on your web page. So here it is 5 divided by 100 = .05. Because keyword density is a percentage of the total word count on the page, multiply the above by 100, that is 0.05 x 100 = 5%
The generally accepted standard for keyword density on a website is between 3% and 5%,. This is believed to be the most acceptable number to get recognized by the search engines and you should never exceed it.
Remember, that this rule applies to every page on your site. It also applies to not just to one keyword but also a set of keywords that relates to a different product or service. The keyword density should always be between 3% and 5%.
Simple steps to check the density:
-
Copy and paste the content from an individual web page into a word-processing software program like Word or Word Perfect.
-
Go to the ‘Edit’ menu and click ‘Select All’. Now go to the ‘Tools’ menu and select ‘Word Count’. Write down the total number of words in the page.
-
Now select the ‘Find’ function on the ‘Edit’ menu. Go to the ‘Replace’ tab and type in the keyword you want to find. ‘Replace’ that word with the same word, so you don’t change the text.
-
When you complete the replace function, the system will provide a count of the words you replaced. That gives the number of times you have used the keyword in that page.
-
Using the total word count for the page and the total number of keywords you can now calculate the keyword density.
See You in the Search Engines

Creating Your Website Presence
What is search engine friendly content. You may believe it is about stuffing your website with targeted keywords, however, it certainly isn’t. In fact, if you attempted to do that, you may find that you could fall foul of the search engines if you attempt it. It is a simple rule and one that will keep you in good stead and that is to write copy that not only search engine spiders will look at, but also human beings will as well. What is the point of having a site that is highly ranked, yet none of your visitors can understand, nor trust? So it is vital that your website is user friendly to both your visitors, as well as search engine spiders.
First of all you need to answer the following questions:-
1. What is your site for?
2. What does it do?
3. What do you want your visitors to do when they reach it?
4. Would you like them to spend money when they get to it?
5. Or are you just providing them with information?
So the above points will have an impact on the copy that you write for the content of your website.
So whenever possible, use short paragraphs or bullet points, as these are more likely to attract visitors, while more lengthy essays will only drive them away.
But if you are selling a service or product then you need to make your site look interesting. Provide as many calls to action as you can, and not just provide them with an online price list.
So remember that you are trying to attract the search engines, but at the same time your website should be designed for human readers. As long as your website has been designed well and with people in mind, then 9 times out of 10 you will find that it is search engine friendly also.
Just like a visitor to your website reads the copy on your page in order to figure out what you have to offer, so does a search engine. So when a search engine is looking at your web page, they are looking for keyword phrases in your copy (Content), as well as other vital components.
Below are provided a number of tips which may help you in your SEO endevours. The list is by no means complete or final and is provided purely as a guide. For additional information please visit the following link: http://www.hostingimpact.com/search_engine_optimisation_preparation.htm
1. Although there are no hard and fast rules, the general feelings are that you should have at least 200 words of relevant copy on each page of your website. Although this may be difficult at times, search engines really like it, so it is important that you increase the amount of copy where and when you are able to.
This text, wherever possible, should include your most important keywords and or keyword phrases, but should still remain logical and easy to read for your website visitors.
2. Ensure that you use the keyword phrases which you have used within your meta tags and meta description sections for that particular webpage.
3. Add additional relevant copy filled pages to the site, such as how to articles, tips or tutorials. Not only do these types of pages help with SEO, but you may find that other sites will link to yours.
These tips, although not infinite or definite should not be ignored, as optimising your web page (content) is one of the most important things you could possibly do in order to improve your rankings in the Search Engines.

If you make your page titles as simple, descriptive and relevant as possible, it will make it easier for the search engines to know what each page of your website is about. This will then allow people to scan through the search results they get, and are able to quickly determine if your document contains what they are actually looking for.
Additionally, it should be remembered that the page title is generally what is used in order to link to your site from the results provided by the search engines.
Above all else, it is important to ensure that the title on each of your web pages refelct the actual content of that page. We believe that it is one of your most important elements of your website.
