Webmaster Forum / General / Search Engines / July 2008Key Word Density?
Has anyone dabbled with KW density and noticed a point at which too high a density loses position? I have been playing around with KW's using SEOquake on our home page after rankings have been declining fairly steadily over the last few months. Just wondered what the groups thoughts are on this issue?

If I wanted to aim for maximum relevance for the terms "fitness equipment" and "gym equipment" should "gym" "fitness" "equipment" all rank as equals or should I drop "equipment" slightly? Obviously I am aware of the relevance of key word back-links etc. :¬) Cheers Pete Signaturehttp://gymratz.co.uk - Fitness & Gym Equipment/nutrition specialists. http://www.trade-price-supplements.co.uk - Bulk buy for up to 33% off. http://www.BBE-Boxing-Equipment.co.uk - New Boxing Equipment site. http://www.commercial-gym-equipment.co.uk - Commercial Gym Equipment. >> Just wondered what the groups thoughts are on this issue? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Cheers >Pete You could look into less usage of the direct terms and more usage of synonyms etc. Get the thesaurus out.

It's not that simple; there's many factors involved, including page size, 'shared' content, etc., etc. There is not "one right answer".

If you get a friend to read your copy, and they laugh, your KW density is too high. You can even do it yourself - read out loud, and you'll soon learn when you've overdone it. If your content is good quality, KW density tends to take care of itself.

A waste of time. Time you can better use (IMNSHO) to find synonyms and other ways to write about the topic on the same page. That way you might find a niche that gives you more hits than trying to optimize for a handful of keywords (I am sometimes amazed at how some pages of mine are found, and how my ideas of good keywords don't agree with that of my visitors :-D) SignatureJohn Bokma http://johnbokma.com/ AISE/AWW/SEO/web development forum: http://seo-expert-wiki.com/ >Has anyone dabbled with KW density and noticed a point at which too high a >density loses position?

Thing that confused me even further is "key" "word" "density" is completely different to "key word density" or "key word" + "word density" so... from my own perspective... if I want to tailor for both "fitness equipment" and "gym equipment" I have the option of balancing up "gym" + "fitness" + "equipment" under one set of rules or balancing "gym equipment" + "fitness equipment" which then gives an excessive density of "equipment" ........ which could be seen as KW stuffing of "equipment" and as such... reduce the weighting therby reducing the weight of the 2-word KW. Argggggh... ;¬) Just my thought for the day.

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >"fitness" + "equipment" under one set of rules or balancing "gym equipment" + >"fitness equipment" which then gives an excessive density of "equipment" Balance it out in the text with synomyms for fitness. Use gymnasium now and then instead of gym. Work dojo and dojang in there.

Again, that will be dependant upon other factors. If you've got the most authority site on the planet according to IBLs, I doubt keyword density will be an issue. BB |
