When writing content for a website having keywords is essential. There are various things to keep in mind with keywords.
Frequency:
This is the amount of times a keyword is listed on a page. Generally the more keywords listed on a page means there is more relevance of that keyword on a page. Be careful not to over stuff the page with keywords. That is called keyword stuffing and is cheating the system.
Density:
This is the percentage of how many times your keyword is listed. The general parameters is between 2-8%.
Proximity:
This refers to keeping the keywords closer together. The tighter they are the better they will be indexed. For Example:
Having quality content is key to online success.
Content online must be quality to have online success.
If someone typed in “quality content” the first example would likely receive a higher rank.
Prominence:
This refers to where the keywords should be listed. Preferably in the title tag, meta tag, and the start of a web page.
