@Noah has a point,article length is the main factor when comes about keywords density.In a 250 words article,mentioning a phrase or a keyword 4-5 times can look very spammy but in a 600 words article would probably seem natural. .-= Nice Blogger@Best SEO Blog´s last blog ..Digg Added NoFollow on All External Links =-.

I don’t know that overusing your keywords is such a huge deal these days. I mean, obviously keyword stuffers are going to see a negative benefit, but if you happen to mention it twice, or ever 3 times in a lengthy article because it makes sense to mention it, I don’t think you’ll see any negatives. In fact, I bet you’ll see some improvements.

Hello Brian, Generally, the keyword density would fall roughly around 5-6% if you write naturally. I always check on textalyzer.net before I publish. If the percentage seems a little too high, I simply change the keyword to a pronoun, for instance, "it". Kai Lo’s last post..Changes To My Blog

Brad,

Generally speaking yes, if you write for readers and not for search engines this becomes less of a problem. Just know you do not want to use a phrase too often or you can burn your own ranking.

Of course you also want to make sure to use it to a degree or you simply can not rank for it.

Bottom line: write for readers, add target phrases to the title and possibly the metadescription.

Thanks for the reply Brian, but I don’t think I was clear enough in my question.. I understand that I should target a single specific keyword phrase for each page on my site. But should I use the same rules described above for EVERY page on my site or JUST the homepage?

* Once in the title tag
* Once in your home page article

Shouldn’t my keyword phrase be found more than this on individual pages?

Hi Brad,

Glad your liking the content here on Net Marketing Course.net
Each and every page of your site should really target a certain keyword phrase. I personally spend a bit more time on my sites homepage tags (title meta description) simply because they get more visibility on the search engines.

That being said all my pages always have a solid meta description and each page targets a phrase.

Hi Brian, thanks for all the great info on your site(s). I’ve been following your videos for a while now and I’ve really learned quite a bit. A quick question on this tip though..

Is the SEO advice above meant for every page on your site or just the homepage?

Thanks!
