Adding synonyms of your target keywords can help your relevancy score in Google search results. In natural conversations and writing, a person will use similar words instead of repeating the same phrase over and over again. So, there is no need to be fanatical about using the exact keywords in the exact context. Diversity is empowering.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009Keywords Density
Monday, May 25th, 2009Keyword density is a measure of how often you use a keyword in relation to the total text content on the page. It is measured in a percentage of the total… 3% would mean you use the keyword 3 times in every 100 words.
- If you are over 10% keyword density, you are going to get flogged by the search engine riot police.
- 3% Density for Google, 5% for Yahoo or MSN are typically a good ratio.Remember, keyword density is important (even to your Adwords quality score), but it is just one snowflake in the SEO snowstorm.
- Remember, Google uses slaves kidnapped by alien spacecraft to crawl the internet. If it doesn’t sounds good (i.e. make sense) there is a good chance these Borg-type indexers will notice and penalize your site. All Praise Google!
