What Keyword density would you suggest?

[Miniorek]

I have been experimenting a little bit with desc lengths and keyword density. Sometimes MOZ says keyword stuffing and google ranks higher the page with higher density. Obviously, it can't be artificially packed with keywords but putting more than GWT/SEO suggestions sometimes comes with a good result.

What is your Experience?

if you decide to extend the description to 5000+ characters would you hide this to Javascript or kept it all on the page? Bottom or Top. Does it really matter? (We are talking about e-commerce category page)

Hey,

I would check out Yoast's article on keyword density its a good article: https://yoast.com/keyword-density-in-yoast-seo/

Yoast mention "we encourage you to aim for a keyword density range of 0.5% to 2.5%, depending on a number of factors." which I would say is a good keyword density to aim for as well.

I am not really sure what you mean though in regards to hiding with Javascript? What are you talking about hiding? Could you please explain?

Cheers

If you want to check the optimization level for a keyword go **on-page-grader **

Despite what many SEO Tools would indicate, the short answer to this is, in my experience, there is no IDEAL %. There is no one-size-fits-all optimal ‘keyword density’ percentage anybody has ever demonstrated had direct positive ranking improvement in a public arena.

I certainly do not believe there is a particular percent of keywords in words of text to get a page to number 1 in Google. While the key to success in many niches is often simple SEO, search engines are not that easy to fool in 2018.

I write natural page copy which is always focused on the key phrases and related key phrases. I never calculate density in order to identify the best % – there are way too many other things to work on. I have looked at this, a long time ago.

IN SUMMARY

• it's an outdated concept from the paleolithic era of search engines
• add your keyword to your title, headline and meta tags and that s all and please forget about it
• focus on a relevant task such as schemas, internal linking, site performance, link-building, amp and the most important focus on creating a good content/copy rather than focus on that. Even if you are not a blogger or publisher and you are a small business owner hire a good writer who can create the copy for your homepage that really converts (1500 words) and forget about keyword density

That is how your content is going to look like
