Keyword Body Weight
posted by steven j. ram, antRoar internet marketing services
Your keyword should constitute at least 2 percent of the overall presence through out your content body text. This should include all your heading tags as well. Ideally, the overall keyword weight for the content body page should rate between 4-7% in total. Any more would constitute the possibility of indicating to a search engine that your page is jammed with keyword spam. If less than 4%, the search engine would rate your page low in importance and credibility for your chosen keyword.
Also keep in mind the possibility of using different forms of your keywords. While ranking, search engines consider not only direct matches of keywords, but also their various alterations. For instance, for the query "web hosting," search engines will take into account the occurrences of such words as "host", "hosting", "webhosts" etc. on your pages. In addition, the modification of your keyword makes the content more user-friendly, so your page doesn't look like a readability puzzle stuffed with one and the same keyphrase. And remember: a good technique for writing page copy is to write naturally, in your own style.
To find other similar keywords as the ones you are targeting, use Overture's Keyword Generator Tool (free service) or try the Free WordTracker Keyword Generator Tool for comparisons.
One more tip, always generate your own keyword lists first, with the old way, pen & paper before you start using automated suggestions.
Have a great SEO day.
