Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ideal keyword density?
There is no fixed "ideal" density. Modern SEO focuses on topical relevance over density. Generally, 1-2% for primary keywords and ensuring the topic is covered comprehensively matters more.
Does keyword stuffing still work?
No. Google's Panda algorithm penalizes keyword stuffing. Focus on natural language and LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords instead.
