I realize that a lot of people don’t even know what keyword density is, so let me explain. If you wrote 100 words, and two of them were your keywords, you’d have a keyword density of 2%. That’s right about where you should be for Google. The other search engines have a higher threshold, but we all know that Google is the mark so optimizing for Google is the smart way to go.
There are sites where you can check the density of your website, after it’s already online, and they have their purpose. But what about articles? How do you check keyword density there?
I struggled with that a bit before finding an awesome solution.
Go to http://live-keyword-analysis.com and plug in what you’ve written. Then, plug in the keyword(s) that you’ve optimized the article for. Bingo! Instant density check for up to three keywords.
Once you know that it’s easy to adjust. You can add some keywords if you’re short (less than about a 1.8% density) or substitute some synonyms for your keywords if your density is too heavy (more than about 2.2%). Simple.
Just be sure that when you’re plugging in and substituting that your article reads naturally. Read it aloud to yourself and you’ll be able to see if it will “sound” right to the human ear. That’s what you want–always. It makes Google happier, but even more importantly, it impresses your readers.
