Mastering Keyword Density for SEO without Keyword Stuffing

In the early days of SEO, the more you repeated a keyword, the better you ranked. Today, that's called "keyword stuffing," and it will get you penalized. However, keyword density is still a metric worth watching.

What is the Ideal Density?

There is no magic number, but most SEO experts recommend a density between 1% and 2%. This means your target keyword appears once or twice for every 100 words. Anything higher risks looking unnatural.

Using the Tool

Our Keyword Density Checker analyzes your text and reports:

• Top Keywords: What words appear most frequently?
• Density Percentage: Are you over-optimizing?
• Word Count: Is your content long enough to rank?

Strategy

Write for humans first. Then, use the tool to ensure your target keywords are present enough to signal relevance to Google, but not so frequent that they annoy the reader.
