        About 4 times should be fine. Try not to focus on stuffing the keyword or inserting it in unnatural ways. Just write the content naturally and it should work the keywords in.

        Just write relevant information that is tailored towards the user.

          I had a great English professor whose response to the question "How many words should be in our reports?" was always "As many words as it takes for you to say what you need to say."  I'd advocate these things for your landing pages:

          1. Forget about how many words are on the page
          2. Target keywords and synonyms of those words
          3. Forget about density
          4. Write something that contains value for a visitor

          The days of calculating density of keywords on a page and having that help your SEO are long gone and it might even hurt you. Just write a great page using words that correctly describe your product, service or main "reason to be." I believe the rest should happen on its own.

            I don't worry one bit about keyword density.  It used to be a factor years ago, but now what I do is write for readers.  I make sure that my keyword is in my title and also is in my copy somewhere.  It could be 4 times...it could be once...it could be 10 times...there is no formula.
