Keyword

In my normal life I tend to avoid using the same keyword over and over. In fact, I usually go out of my way to use a different word instead of a keyword each time I want to express a similar concept. So using keywords on the internet takes a bit of conscious effort from me.I am in something of a silly mood today so I decided i'd play around with keyword density.

To both quote and mangle a meme: I heard you liked keywords, so I decided to keyword a keyword into your keyword so you can

keyword

your keyword

while you keyword.

Keyword?

But what is the key word about keywords? How much is too much? After doing a bit of quick research it seems that about 1-4% keyword density is the suggested amount. Some people say that more than 1% of your text containing your keyword seems like spam and others say less then 4% of your text containing the keyword is simply not enough. There will likely be a much larger amount of keywords in this keyword article than 4% . I want to use enough keywords to flood the keyword density tool. A truly ridiculous amount of keywords goes into this keyword post about keywords.

But with all the keywords in existence why should any one suggested use of a keyword be any better or worse than any other keyword? Keywords are just keywords right? Shouldn't the right amount of keywords in your work be exactly however many uses of the keyword it takes to get your point across, with not one keyword more or one keyword less? Keywords are found everywhere on the internet. No matter where you look there is always a keyword or three. Keywords are THE keywords that people use to get your attention and to hopefully help search engines find your web page. Without keywords, many of the top visited sites on the web would be on the 10th page or lower in searches. Keywords are king. Often, keywords alone will determine whether a site succeeds or fails.  So finding the best keywords for your page is very important. Use the wrong keywords and nobody will find ever find you. Use the right keywords and your work will be at the top of the heap.

What if I used the keyword keyword too many times?  What if my keyword density is too high and my keyword post with all it's many keywords and uses of the word keyword is seen by a spider as spam? If I have used the keyword keyword too many times and my keyword post is seen as spam, then I suppose my keyword post with all it's keywords will not be indexed. Then my keyword filled post will join many other keyword clogged pages at the very bottom of the internet. This post with all it's keywords will circle the drain for awhile, but due to having such a high keyword density, the keywords will band together and literally clog the drain. The keywords in this post and the keywords in the posts written by others that surround it at the bottom will fill up the nooks and crannies in the drain at the bottom of the keyword ocean and prevent it from emptying. Our forgotten pages full of keywords will be the foundation that keeps the rest of the keyword ocean from going down the drain entirely.

I think that is just about enough keywords. If you haven't gotten the keyword about keywords by now, you are never going to get the keyword. Join me next time for another exciting adventure,one with decidedly less keywords.
