What is meant by keyword density?

Keyword density refers to the percentage of times a specific keyword appears in your content relative to the total word count. It's calculated by dividing keyword occurrences by total words and multiplying by 100. Modern SEO uses this metric as a guideline rather than a strict rule for content optimization.

What is the keyword density for 1,000 words?

For a 1,000-word article, optimal keyword density typically ranges from 0.5% to 1%, meaning your target keyword should appear 5-10 times throughout the content. However, focus on natural integration rather than hitting exact numbers, as content quality and user experience matter more than precise percentages.

Is keyword density still relevant?

Yes, but not as a primary ranking factor. Keyword density remains relevant for signaling content relevance to search engines and users. However, modern SEO prioritizes comprehensive topic coverage, user intent satisfaction, and natural language over mechanical keyword repetition.

How many keywords should I use for SEO?

Focus on one primary keyword per page to avoid confusion and cannibalization. Support this with 3-5 related secondary keywords and semantic variations. Quality content naturally incorporates multiple relevant terms without forced keyword stuffing or artificial density targets.

How do you calculate word density?

Calculate keyword density using this formula: (Number of keyword occurrences ÷ Total word count) × 100. For example, if "email marketing" appears 8 times in a 1,000-word article, the density is 0.8%. Use this as a guideline while prioritizing natural, valuable content creation.

What is the difference between keyword frequency and keyword density?

Keyword frequency is the raw number of times a keyword appears in content, while keyword density is the percentage relative to total word count. Frequency provides absolute numbers, but density offers context for comparison across different content lengths and optimization strategies.
