What is Keyword Density?

The number of keywords you use in an article is called “Keyword Density”, Example: if you have an article of 2000 words, and your keyword is “weight loss” then you should use the keyword “weight loss” 50 times in the whole article, its density will be 2.5%. Keeping SEO in mind, the maximum keyword density you can put in an article is nearly 3%-4%, while if you keep the Keyword Density up to 2% that would be better and things will be balanced.

Formula: (Total Number of Keyword/Total Number of Word) × 100

What is Keyword Prominence?

The right placement of the keywords in an article is called “Keyword Prominence.” There are many places you can put your keywords on the page so that search engines can find out them easily. Mostly, the keyword is being presented in different places on the page. Here we are shown the keywords: Where to keep them in the exact place.

• Post Title (One Time)
• Post Permalink (One time)
• Meta description
• Post first and last paragraph
• Alt tag of Image, Description, and Title
• Post heading i.e. H1, H2
• In Between Article

So the earlier you show up your keyword, the more it will be better for you in terms of “Keyword Prominence”. However, make it balanced, and don’t do keyword stuffing which can terminate your blog/website within days.

What is Keyword Proximity?

The distance between two words in a keyword is called “Keyword Proximity”, for example, if a person searches for How to Reduce Body Weight and Google shows the result Body Weight & How to Reduce, so, in this situation the exact keyword is Reduce Body Weight while in Google’s result there is a distance between the words Body Weight  and Reduce, as a result, this shows “Keyword Proximity“, the nearer the exact words are, the more it will be measured as high “Keyword Proximity” which is good and better. If all words are exactly next to each other that would make it 100% perfect, however, if one word is away from the others that would make it 80% perfect. And, if there are three words as shown in the above example and all are away from one-another then it means that there is less than 50% keyword proximity, which is not valuable at all from search engine’s point of view.

Conclusion

The strength of content depends upon the keywords because you can’t get traffic to your website or blog from search engines without the implementation of the right keywords. If the content on your website which is very helpful and informative for the users but you didn’t maintain the keyword prominence, proximity, and density then your target users won’t find your content on search engines. So the correct use of keywords is very important in SEO to get a huge amount of traffic from search engines.
