The keyword density preference for many people will vary, though most webmasters suggest not going over 4%. In most instances, keyword densities higher than 4% doesn’t sound natural for readers anyway, and that’s the _last_ thing that you want. Your readers should come first and search engine bots should come second. Anything after that should come last.

If you want to work on increasing your search engine traffic without conflicting with the experience of your visitors, consider using backlinking strategies. I plan to discuss this further on a later post.

I’m glad you found this article useful. I plan to write more about keyword density in the near future. Keep us updated on how your transition from a 4-8% keyword density to a 2% keyword density worked out.
