Understanding Keyword Density
Keyword density is a percentage that represents the number of times a specific keyword or phrase appears in a piece of text compared to the total number of words. It's a metric used in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to analyze how relevant a page is to a particular keyword.
How to Interpret the Results
- Keyword/Phrase: The tool identifies single words, two-word phrases, and three-word phrases.
- Count: The number of times the keyword or phrase appears in the text.
- Density: The percentage of the keyword's count relative to the total word count. (Formula: `(Count / Total Words) * 100`).
Is High Keyword Density Good for SEO?
Not anymore. In the past, "keyword stuffing" (artificially inflating keyword density) was a common tactic. Today, search engines like Google are much more sophisticated. They prioritize high-quality, natural-sounding content that is genuinely helpful to the user.
Instead of aiming for a specific density percentage, use this tool to:
- Check for Over-optimization: If a non-essential keyword has an unnaturally high density, your text might sound robotic and could be penalized.
- Identify Main Topics: See which terms and phrases appear most frequently to ensure your content is focused on the intended subject.
- Find Semantic Keywords: Discover related two and three-word phrases that you might be using naturally, which can help you understand the topical relevance of your content.
