How To Work With Keywords In Your Page Titles&What is Keyword Density

Work with Keywords In Page Titles
It is recommended to use keywords in page titles itself. This title tag is
different from a Meta tag, but it's worth considering it in relation to them.
Whatever text one places in that title tag (between that portions) will appear
in the title bar of browsers when they view the web page. Some browsers also
append whatever you put in the title tag by adding their own name, as for
example Microsoft's Internet Explorer as well as OPERA.
The actual text
you use in the title tag is one of the most important factors in how a search
engine may decide to rank your web page. In addition, all major web crawlers
will use the text of your bill tag as the text they use for the title of one's
page in your prices.
If you have designed your website as a series of
websites or linked pages and not just a single Home Page, you must bear in mind
that each page of your website must be se optimized. The title of each page i.e. the keywords you use on that page and the phrases you use in the content
will draw traffic to your site.
The unique combination of these words and
phrases and content will draw customers using different search engine terms and
techniques, so be sure you capture all the keywords and phrases you need for
each product, service or information page.
The most common mistake made
by small business owners when they first design their website is to place their
business name or firm name in every title of every page. Actually most of your
prospective customers do not bother to know the name of your firm until after
they have looked at your site and decided it is worth book marking.
So,
while you want your business name in the title of the blog, it is probably a
waste of valuable keywords and space to put it in the title line of every page
on your site. Why not consider putting keywords in the title so that your page
will display closer into the top of the se listing.
Dedicating first
three positions for keywords in title avoiding the stop words like ‘and’, ‘at’
and the like is crucial in search engine optimization.

Keyword Density
Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword
appears in the web page. But mind you, keywords shouldn’t be over used, but
should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places.
If you
repeat your keywords with every other word on every line, then your site will
probably be rejected as an artificial site or spam site.
Keyword density
is always expressed as a percentage of the total word content on a given web
page.
Suppose you have 100 words on your webpage (not including HMTL code
used for writing the web page), and you use a certain keyword for five times in
the content. That keyword density on which page is got by simply dividing the
total number of keywords, by the total number of words that appear on your web
page. So here it is 5 divided by 100 =. 05. Because keyword density is a
percentage of the total word count on the page, flourish the above by ONE
HUNDRED, that is 0. 05 x 100 = 5%
The accepted standard for a keyword
density is between 3% and 5%, to get recognized by the search engines and you
should never exceed it.
Remember, that this rule applies to every page on
your site. It also applies to not just to one keyword but also a set of keywords
that relates to a different product or service. The keyword density should
always be between 3% and 5%.
Simple steps to check the density:
- Copy and paste the content from an individual web page into a word-processing software program like Word or Word Perfect.
- Go to the ‘Edit’ menu and click ‘Select All’. Now go to the ‘Tools’ menu and select ‘Word Count’. Write down the total number of words in the page.
- Now select the ‘Find’ function to the ‘Edit’ menu. Go to the ‘Replace’ tab and type in the keyword you want to find. ‘Replace’ that word with all the same word, so you don’t change the text.
- When you complete the replace function, the system will provide a count of the words you replaced. That gives the number of times you have used the keyword in that page.
- Using the sum of the word count for the page and the total number of keywords you can now calculate the keyword density described here above.
So, for example, you have a total of 750 words on your page, with 30 keywords embedded, you'll make that calculation; 30/750= 0, 04 *100= 4.
This shows your keyword density on your webpage is 4% and therefore perfect.
