Keyword Density for SEO

Keyword density refers to the frequency of keywords in your content, it does not carry the amount of weight in affecting your SEO results and you will need to give it prominence. You need to make sure that your keywords appearing on your website is about 1.5% of your total body text. This helps with SEO results and applications.

A good SEO training will teach you that you need to get your keywords early in your body text. Your first paragraph after your heading tag(s) should have your primary keyword / keyword phrase appear at least twice. Donnt let the repeated frequency of the keyword affect the flow of test. This will be flagged as spam by the search engines and you may suffer a ranking penalty.

Once the first paragraph is completed and is rich with keywords move on to the rest of your body text. If you are using a graphic such as a picture of a bungalow, be sure to use the alt attribute on the images for effective SEO. But don't use the same word more than three times on different images. The main text should of course still contain keywords, but the middle section of your body text is not quite as important as the first paragraph or first 150-250 characters of body text.

Use italic and bold once or twice on your keywords as long as it doesn't make the site look strangee yet again another very vital SEO strategy to optimize the use of keywords in the text. A good thing to do is to have text links with keywords as link text at the very bottom of your page with a closing paragraph using your keywords just above.

Most search engines look for complete source code keyword density, which would include the contents of your head tag and such things as the alt and title attribute. Remember SEO requires numerous factors to be effectively applied and keyword density is one of it. First one needs to find the right list of keywords and use it rightly to get the best SEO results.
