Questions
How is keyword density calculated?
Density is the number of times a phrase appears, times the number of words in it, divided by the total word count. A two-word phrase used 5 times in 500 words has a density of 2%.
What keyword density is best for SEO?
There is no target number. Search engines rank pages on how well they answer a query, not on a percentage. Use density to check that the page is about what you mean it to be about and that no phrase repeats awkwardly.
Why are words like 'the' missing?
Common words are hidden by default because they top every list. Switch off Skip common words to include them.
