Keyword density
Keyword density is a combination of the number of times a keyword or a keyword phrase, in proportion with other words, appears on a Web page. The more times the keyword appears in relation to the total number of on page words, the greater the overall keyword density.
All search engines consider keyword density as part of their search algorithm. Each search engine has a different mathematical equation regarding the density of keywords that is rewarded with higher search ranking placement.
However , there is also a different level of tolerance between the different search engines as to the degree of density permitted before a penalty is imposed. :wink:
