subject: Smarter Way To Analyze The Keyword Density On A Webpage [print this page] Keyword density is one of the factors search engine crawlers consider to determine the optimization of a webpage. Earlier, this was the only aspect which was judged to calculate the optimization level of a page. However with time, search engines started considering several other factors in the algorithms they use to give a quality score to a page, in terms of its optimization for a particular keyword.
Though we know that there is a combination of dynamics which contribute to a page"s quality score, keyword density is still one of the important constituents. In simple terms it is the percentage of occurrence of a particular keyword with respect to the total number of words on the page.
The Keyword Density Analyzer lets you determine this in a very detailed way. It presents the frequency of the occurrence of the particular keyword along with the total words and density in all of the following parameters:
Title
Meta Keyword
Meta Description
Image Names
Image Alt Text
Image Title Attributes
Anchor Text
Anchor Text Title Attributes
Table/Div Summary Attributes
Visible Page Text
This presents a very understandable representation of how well the page is optimized for the entered keyword or a set of keywords. Very high density or over stuffing of keywords should also be avoided as it results in search spam by the crawlers. According to most experts, the optimum keyword density should be between 1 to 3 percent.
Carry on with your analysis and derive the best possible information!
