How it works

The background

There is no ideal density

Search engines do not reward a page for using a keyword a set number of times, and keyword density is not a ranking factor. Advice to hit 1% or 2% comes from a time when search worked very differently.

What the counts are good for

They show what your text actually talks about most. If the phrase you care about is missing from the top of the list, the page may not be as clearly about it as you think. If one word dominates, you may be repeating yourself.

Stuffing hurts

Forcing a phrase in more often makes text harder to read, and search engines treat obvious stuffing as spam. Write for the reader, use the words they would use, and vary them naturally.
