Keyword Density and Goldilocks

One thing I wanted to add to my earlier post about keywords is a little tidbit about keyword density. It is a little bit of a tricky subject, because you almost have to play a Goldilocks game to really get it right on Google.

Put too many keywords in your body text, meta tags, or headings and Google will deem you the title of SPAM! Dilute your keywords and you will not even be recognized by Google...so what is the perfect solution?? Some say about 3-5% is a good range for your keyword density, but it does not apply in all situations..The best way is to find out what they rest of the websites are doing that are competing with you. In order to do that, I recommend using the following keyword density tool found here:

To do this, just go to Google, type in your keyword and take note of the first ten results. Take these sites and put their URL's in the tool and check what they are all doing for their keyword density. Then either dilute or concentrate your keywords in order to match what everyone else is doing. This is probably the surest way to get in the top 10 results...
