There are many keyword density analysis tools and I have already mentioned a few, but I rediscovered one today that I had seen before and since forgotten about. You can find it at www.gorank.com/seotools. I spent a little time this morning analyzing two sites of mine. Using the tool that allows you to examine the kw density of 5 urls, I noticed something very interesing. The top sites for any given keyword have no pattern whatsoever in terms of keyword density. Now, I pretty much already knew this, but this new evaluation I did merely reminded me of it. For one keyword I tested, one of the top sites had 0% density. The keyword appeared no where on the page or in the meta tags. Yet, it ranked #3 due only to its backlink anchor text. For the second keyword, my site has held the #1 spot for a very long time. Its kw density is at 10%, but it also has a lot of backlinks with the appropriate anchor text. The moral of the story remains the same...Concentrate on getting backlinks, using the appropriate keyword phrase as the anchor text.
