How to Make the Search Engines Smile with Website Writing
by Darryl Harris
Keyword density should be on the top of your list when website writing for seo (search engine optimization, in other words building your site to include the elements search engines want to put you on the top of the listings).
Keywords are one to three word phrases that you target that tell the search engines exactly what your site is about. You should put keywords throughout you website, but they shouldn't be over used. You need the formula that most engines feel is the right amount.
You are endangering your site of being rejected or getting low rankings in searches repeating your keywords every other word or sentence.
Your density is always equal to the percentage of you total keyword count on any given web page.
To make the formula simple let's say you have exactly 100 words on your site page. Do not count words used in your HTML coding. You have 5 keywords in your website writing. Simply divide the number of keywords by the total number of words on your page.
Now we need to divide 5 by 100. Your keyword density is always a percentage of your sites page total word count, so multiply the total by 100 ( this is part of the formula always used not the word count in our example), now we have .05 x 100 = 5%
Do not exceed the accepted standard of most search engines which is between 3% and 5% for your density. This will cause the engines to believe you are trying to trick them to get high rankings.
This rule applies for every page on your site, not just the home page. Here are some simple steps to check your page for your density:
Check it out by copying and pasting the content from a page into a word-processing program.
Now that you have it pasted into your word-processing program go to the 'Edit' menu and click 'Select All'. Then in the 'Tools' menu select 'Word Count'. Write the number of words you have on that page on a sheet of paper.
Go to the 'Find' function located in the 'Edit' menu. Now in the 'Find' field type in the keyword you want to check. In the 'Replace' type that same word so you do not change your content.
When the replace function has completed, the program will give you a count of how many times it found that word or phrase. This will be your keyword count for that web site page.
You can now figure your keyword density by using this info of total word count and total keywords in the formula you know have. Make the search engines smile when they see your site by using the standards you have now learned when website writing.
