Keyword Density

Akp51v (AK Patil) recommends the following keyword density thumb rules.

Short Keywords

(E.g., dental clinic)

= 1 to 2 times per 100 words

= 1 to 2 %

Medium Keywords

(E.g., dental clinic services)

= 1 to 2 per 200 words

= 0.5 to 1%

Longtail

(E.g., Benefits of Regular Dental Checkups)

= 1 to 2 per 300 words

= 0.3 to 0.7 %

Why?

Longer the keyword,

Lesser the density;

To avoid stuffing,

And unnatural placement.

Why Does Akp51v Reccommend This Approach to Keyword Density?
Answer:
Longer keywords require lesser density which also prevents keyword-stuffing risks.
Another fact is that more short or medium keywords will not feel unnatural or forced during the reading experience.
