Dear Friend,

What keyword density will give you the most results? Is it 2 to 8 percent for the perfect number? Some people feel that 2 % is all that Google will allow these days. 5% keyword density may be preferred by other search engines. You need to use the amount that is beneficial to you.

It may serve anyone well to abide by Google's rules when it comes to the number of keywords you should use because they are the number one search engine. So, if they say 5% is enough that is what you may want to stick with.

Due to most search engine sites putting more importance on the actual content of the information, rather than keywords used, you should focus on the quality of your articles.

However, the sad part is that most web masters still rely on keyword density and ignore content relevance. For instance, the words 'car', 'shopping' and 'book' are used most commonly in online searches. In case, you had these words in your website, you have already ensured a hit. However, this system does not work any more. Earlier, you could easily use sex as a keyword wherein your site is about farming.

So, in order to lead the right people to your site, you need to use keywords they may use when looking for you. This is the way to generate the traffic that you want and what can ultimately bring turn your traffic to customers.

If a person takes the time to read what you have say, there is a good chance they want something you may have to offer. This means the keywords you use in the article are helpful to lead them to your site. This is the best way to work on SEO efforts and also allow them to be as effective as they can be. Anything else is just a waste of your time.

To your success,

Jason

P.S. The importance of keyword relevance should never be overlooked. This is very important to help you get the right traffic to your site.
