Keyword Density

Also called: Keyword Frequency

Keyword density is the percentage of times a target keyword appears on a page relative to the total word count. It was once used as a direct ranking signal; modern search engines weigh semantic relevance and user intent far more heavily than raw repetition.

Tip from Sanoop: Chasing a specific density percentage is a 2015 habit. I tell my students and clients to write for the reader first — if the keyword appears naturally 3-4 times in a 1000-word page, that is plenty.
