Hi Everyone,

I haven't put a lot of thought into Keyword Density before, until I got an article declined @ EZA because my article had to much of it. To their defense though, they were right, I re-read my article and I came to the realization that I must not have done a good job of proof reading.

My keyword Density was about 5%! That might not sound like a lot but, let me tell you, It wasn't natural sounding when I read though it. At that given time I was proabably thinking "Google Search" find this article, know what I mean?

I think the rule of thumb for keyword density is 1% - 3%. Anyone can correct me, if I'm wrong. Anyway I re-did the the article and resubmitted, kinda discouraging thought since it does take them about 7 days to approve, etc. Oh well I learned a couple valuable lessions...

Keyword density matters, and take the time to proof read your articles before submitting, that extra 3 minutes would have meant my article could have been already index and potentially brining in traffic.

Hi Can any one explain me the difference between the Keyword Proximity, Prominance and Density?

Yeah, here you go - it's a brief summery of each, including Keyword frequency:

Keyword density refers to the percentage of keywords contained within the total number of indexable words within a web page.

Keyword frequency refers to the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase appears within a web page.

Keyword prominence refers to how prominent (importance) keywords are within a web page - think weight or importance on this one.

Keyword proximity refers to how close the keywords are to each other keywords - the closer they are to each other the better.

I've written articles in the past that had a high density of my keyword in them, but still sounded fairly natural, and readable. It's largely a question of picking a keyword that works with the article text, and allows you to maintain a natural sounding flow of conversation.

[Jim Gillum]

Since KW density has become a non factor with Google.....( except too much)
A natural sounding article should get the job done...KW in the title...
And then relevant content....

Don't know for sure...but have to think that the major article sites are following big G recommendations to maintain their high SE page rank...

Would have to believe that staying caught up on SEO would help with any content that is produced for use on the net....

[JamesStein]

Keyword Density is no longer looked at and is a waste of time trying to set your articles for it.. It is ignored by the search engines, .. LOL!! EZA is behind the times but what else is new..

Don't waste your time on keyword density and use other article directories besides EZA...

Get your own blogs ranking for your keywords and no one can tell you what density to use . Now common sense will tell you that out and out stuffing is going to get you nowhere fast simply from a readers point of view .

Still if you are going to use any directory then their site tos is the target . With the search engines newest feelings toward kw density there is no reason to worry about going over 1% unless it just happens naturally .

Some think because Google doesn't take density into account as much as in the past they don't need to worry about formatting .

Don't believe it for a second .

Keyword in title , description, first sentence , body , and ending sentence is still important . As an anchor and a a named sub page url in your site is a definite plus also.

The general recommendation is to place important keywords at, or near, the start of a web page, sentence, TITLE or META tag. Keyword proximity refers to the closeness between two or more keywords. In general, the closer the keywords are, the better.

You can either keep your account here or lose it. That is up to you. But if you continue to Plagiarize some other persons work and pass it off as your own, you will be banned from here quickly!

Use the Google Wonder Wheel to see the keyword terms that Google thinks is relevant to your main keyword and mix it up with them. There is no need to over load a particular term to get high rankings.

Did I say relevant? I am as bad as Troy.

Jesila,

Is this your own statement, or was it copied from someone else's site?

The reason I am asking is because when Googling, I came up with a site with the same exact statement. It is word for word, and it can come back and bite us here at the forum because it wasn't sited.

[JamesStein]

Look on my forum and I think you will have your answer Mary ..... Troy said he would have banned this person already ...

Thanks for the heads up!

[TroyPhillips]

You should be able to after this post. The post count is set to 10 to be able to post links.

Lol nope! I've always made butts out of people who have either pushed the line or are just about ready to get banned.

I think I might have left some of the older posts in the BS&T forum for reminders to people.

It's not often I use red though for highlighting. Why do you think I chuckle in some of your threads after reading what you've stated in the edited posts.

You should know by now that I don't put up with much.

[TroyPhillips]

You will find out posting links is not that big of deal to me lol.

I build a little ole tiny list with my sig file and that is about it for most forums although that Stein character would think different
