      Hey as you know that as a seo we are, we always optimize keywords which are at least 2 words, and lets say I'm trying to optimize a page for terms like "man clothing, man london clothing, man great collection, man stylus collection" and as you can guess I optimize this pages for this keywords by inputting them into title heading tags and body.
      So my question is , what if google takes "man" phrase from my 2 words keywords, and pretend as a my keyword. (I mean what if google thinks my keywords is man because as you can see in all of the keywords "man" is in all of them.)
      And what if Google thinks the density of "man" probably would be %20 which is astronomic number.?

      Sorry for my bad english.

        Google's pretty clever at working out what a page is, you shouldn't worry about key word density as it's an old practice that's not really that helpful any more. Work on making good content. Google will look at the content and links and work out you're about mens clothing.

        If Google just took the keywords it would be very easy to manipulate and would be spammed which is why keywords density is no longer used.

          If you want to write great content today, then you need to not worry too much about one key phrase, but look for additional synonyms to fit into your content. However, don't just add these in - build them into your content and write more if required.

          Take the word "clothing". Additional words (synonyms) that could also be used that related to clothing are "dress, clothe, garb, tog, garment, apparel". Try and fit these in somewhere to give your content some depth and variety.

          Synonyms of man (men) could be male, gent, gentleman, youth, boy - I am sure there are loads more.

          Just remember that there are billions of other pages of content out there - you need to be trying to make yours stand out from others as much as you can.

          -Andy

          • Is it better to optimise for several keywords/keyword variations on one page, or create sub categories for those specific terms?
